Overload Sensor

The overload sensor ensures that the lift can not be started when overloaded.
If the lift is overloaded the button shown in figure 4 will light up, an alarm will
sound and the car will not start.

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 Emergency Stop switch during travel will stop the elevator
immediately and activate the alarm. Toggle the Emergency Stop switch to
return the elevator to normal operation.
