General:
The safety control ENA3 is destined for use in safety circuits by a lift.
It consists of a fail-safe control module and proper sensors or magnetic switches. With an open safety
circuit ENA3 performs a self-test every 20th drive. A new drive is not allowed until the end of this test.
(see document ENA3 self test-timing)
The activation of the brake actuators and a control input to verify the correct operation of the actuators
are implemented in the control module.
The (brake) actuators themselves are not part of this safety control or the description but must be
installed on-site at the lift.
Those stopping brake actuators can be used, which have been examined in accordance with the
requirements of EN81-20 and are able to stop the lift within the required distance.
These include examined traction sheave brake, safety gears in combination with an overspeed
governor rope brakes, guide rail brakes and safety valves that an EN81-20/50 type examination have
been subjected.
The software in the safety control is factory tested and sealed and can not be modified or changed in
any way.
