HYDROFIT™ Owner’s Information Manual
WARNING: The use and ownership of this work is defined in the legend upon the front page hereof.
Do the passengers have enough time to enter and exit before the
doors close?
There are a number of variables that determine the door’s opening cycle. The
minimum time may depend on the number of elevators in the bank and on the
distance from a point in the center of the lobby to each elevator. Time may also be
measured from notification that a car is arriving by a lantern and audible signal.
Times might also be longer for elevators that service elderly or disabled persons.
Do the doors reverse direction without
touching passengers?
Your elevator is equipped with an
electronic detector to sense passengers in
the door zone. This detector enables a
closing door to reverse direction without
touching passengers. Reversal should
take place as soon as any portion of the
passenger enters the door zone when the
doors have begun to close.
Does the car stop level with the hall
floor?
Leveling is the process of the elevator
platform attaining a stop position that is
even with the landing. The car should
stop within +/- 0.2 in. (+/-5 mm) of the hall
floor, and leveling should be consistent
whether the car is full or empty.
Electronic detectors enable a
closing door to reverse direction
without touching passengers.
Does the alarm bell work?
The alarm bell should be tested once a week by pressing the alarm button on
the car operating panel. This quick and simple procedure ensures that the
bell will work when and if it is needed.
