Pedestal Fabrication and Mounting
A pre-fabricated, universal mounting pedestal may be purchased from MCE. If built on site, the
pedestal must be fabricated to:
• Mount securely to the elevator car crosshead beam
• Position the iLand Compact system acceptably both vertically and horizontally (vertically
so that the landing system clears obstructions like the elevator guide wheels — horizontally
so that the encoder wheel is centered on, and aligned with, the raised center ridge of the
rail)
• Be sturdy enough to resist flexing or excessive vibration that could cause position informa-
tion errors
If the pedestal bends or moves, the encoder information might become inaccurate or be inter-
rupted causing the controller to receive inaccurate information about the cars position, speed,
and direction of travel. Figure 2 below provides the mounting footprint for the iLand chassis on
the pedestal. The slots should provide clearance for 1/2” bolts.
