Automatic Elevator Testing
There are many locations
where the elevator is critical to the facility's operation.
In buildings that house medical offices, patients rely on the
elevator to meet with their health care providers. Railway
stations must ensure that their elevators are working for
the safety of their passenger with disabilities. Factories
and mines rely on their elevators to move personnel and
materials.
Some maintenance contracts
require that someone test an elevator every day to ensure
that is is running. This can be very expensive and
time-consuming. Every QarVision™ system has the
ability to do this automatically and report the results of
the test. Of course, this is optional, and is not necessary
for the operation of the system.
| How does it work? |
| |
The QarVision™
controller has two output relays that are used to generate
car calls to the top landing and the bottom landing. The
unit is connected to the appropriate buttons in the car
operator panel. The relays isolate the QarVision™ unit from
the elevator circuitry.
When a test is needed, two car
calls are placed, one to the top landing and one to the
bottom landing. The unit then waits for the car to move. If
it moves within a specified amount of time, the unit checks
that the door opens. If it fails these tests, the QarVision™
unit sends an email or text message to warn of a test
failure.
The QarVision™ controller must be
connected to a network (Ethernet, Cellular, or WiFi).

| When is the test run? |
| |
The
automatic test can be run in three ways:
| - |
|
When the idle time
exceeds a user-specified limit |
| - |
|
At a user-specified time
of day |
| - |
|
Manually from the
QarVision user interface |
