4. SAFETY FEATURES
Safety Brakes
The safety brakes (safeties) stop the lift in the event of cable failure.
During operation, cable tension keeps the brake up so the cam does not
interfere with the hoistway rails.
If a cable failure occurs, the brake mechanism comes down and the brake cam
stops movement of the lift.
Emergency Stop
Actuating the red STOP switch during travel will stop the elevator immediately
and activate the alarm. Toggle the switch back to RUN to return the elevator to
normal operation.
Battery Lowering System and Manual Lowering Device
If a power failure occurs, a battery lowering system
will bring the Vuelift Mini to the bottom level.
If the battery fails while operating, there is a manual
lowering device that can be used to bring the Vuelift
Mini to a lower landing level as described below.
1 Turn off the main power disconnect.
2 Remove the cover on the glass/acrylic in line
with the motor brake at the top landing.
3 Insert the manual lowering tool (shown in Figure 4) into the hole in the
glass/acrylic.
4 Turn the manual lowering tool clockwise until the unit is at the desired
landing level.
5 Make sure the floor of the cab is level (within 2 inches) to the landing.
6 Use the special emergency key to manually open the landing door.
Part No. 001254, 26-m4-2022
The manual lowering device is for emergency use
only. When manually lowering, ensure the car floor
is always within 2 inches (50 mm) of the landing
prior to opening the hoistway door. After use of
any emergency function (access key or manual
lowering device), ensure that all doors/gates are
secure and locked. While the emergency function
is in use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.
