Braking System EBRA20
Operating instruction
6.5 Rescuing trapped passengers
Rescuing trapped passengers in exceptional situa-
tions is somewhat different in elevators where
EBRA20 is used, than it is in traditional traction
elevators without any ascending car overspeed
protection.
The main difference is, that the EBRA20 is an inde-
pendent brake which is released in overspeed situ-
ations and reset separately by the OSG switch and
its own reset button.
Rescuing trapped passengers might become neces-
sary under the following conditions where EBRA20
is actuated and braking and the elevator car can-
not be moved following the standard procedures
given for elevators without this additional brake.
ALWAYS, check first has the OSG switch
been operated i.e. has the car run over-
speed.
(1) Power ON and the OSG switch has been
switched OFF. The car has run overspeed (refer
to chapter 6.5.1)
(2) Power OFF, but the OSG switch has not been
switched OFF (refer to chapter 6.5.2)
(3) Car cannot be moved following 1 and 2
(Power OFF) and the OSG switch has been
switched OFF. (Two or more independent fail-
ures at the same time, UNEXPECTED) (refer to
chapter 6.5.3)
