Schindler intensifies the blackout screening in the elevator

The most important points at a glance:

• All Schindler product lines as well as most third -party systems can now be retrofitted across Austria.

• Use of the tool: In the event of a power failure, the elevator system in the elevator shaft comes to a standstill. If all safety switches are closed, the elevator system automatically initiates the evacuation. The cabin then drives into the next stop slowly and opens the doors there to leave the doors.

• Emergency call center based on Wienerberg: Schindler also relies on safety and comfort here. Due to the national call structure and native speakers, a perfect, stress -free connection is guaranteed. Due to the common company headquarters, service and technical employees are in exchange and mostly know each other personally. The Schindler emergency call center can be reached for at least 24 hours of emergency power.

“The risk of a blackout through a network overload or cyber attack is a permanent security policy. But even with short -term power failures, there are always risky self -exemption attempts by passengers who bring an enormous risk. To make these tools available as well as external systems throughout Austria.says Thomas Javornik, Existing Installation Director Schindler Austria.

Advantages of automatic evacuation: fast, safe and stress -free

The safe liberation of passengers from a stuck elevator is possible in the form of an automatic evacuation device as well as with the help of manual emergency liberation by the service technician. Security, speed and comfort predominate with an automatically initiated evacuation. The process is as follows: In the event of a power failure, the system brakes automatically and stops in the shaft. After a few seconds, when all safety switches are closed, the system automatically introduces a slow drive to the next floor. The cabin opens there and the passengers can safely get out.

Dos and boms of manual emergency liberation

“Our elevators are also certain in the case of a manual emergency liberation. Don’t worry, we will get you out of the elevator in the event of a power failure, and you are in contact with our emergency center until then while the emergency light shines”says Jvvortnik. In the event of a power failure, the lift brakes and stops in the shaft. After pressing the emergency button, the manual emergency liberation by a Schindler service technician is organized by a well -trained team. Emergency call and emergency light are still intact for an hour using a battery.

The elevator cabin is equipped with constantly effective ventilation openings. The emergency exemption from the elevator itself then mechanically takes place via a manual furnishings such as a handwheel.

Nevertheless, it should be noted:

• Own attempts to free yourself from the lift, for example by the appearance of the elevator door, must be avoided! Self -exemption can be life -threatening, the risks cannot be estimated for laypersons.

• The introduction of the manual emergency liberation works via the Schindler emergency call center on the fastest way.

Challenge blackout

“The challenges in the case of a blackout are enormous. However, we can increase security and minimize risks through technical innovation and precaution. If you are now investing in the retrofitting of your elevator system, you are well prepared in the event of a blackout. Every automatic evacuation saves time and nerves and relieves emergency services such as the fire brigade, which then stand in continuous use”adds Jvvortnik.
