4 OPERATION TESTING
Although quality and operation of each component are controlled by the factory at the delivery, before sale,
eventually, before the final test of the plant, an operation testing should be carried out.
TEST RUN AFTER THE ASSEMBLY
Clean the guides before the first test run takes place.
Before the beginning of the run, leave the elevator shaft free from persons and objects.
Before the general test takes place, it is necessary to slowly run through the whole area of action (with
inspection control device). After that, verify the distance to be sufficient for all fastening parts (particularly in
the fixing area of the guides and of the governor rope).
If possible before that, locate and remove screw projections and other dangerous narrow points.
Subsequently, a static function test has to be carried out:
• operate by hand the overspeed governor: press down the rocker lever;
• drive the elevator car slowly downwards.
The overspeed governor must release the safety gear.
The safety switch must release and switch off the safety circuit of the elevator plant.
With a slow movement upwards and/or downwards, place the overspeed governor and the safety gear
backwards.
CONTROL OF ALL OPERATIONS
Subsequently, the release is to be controlled at a nominal speed, as well as the relative safety devices.
The control of the release is to be carried out as a dynamic function test, with or without rated load of the
elevator car.
During test runs, no-one must stay in the elevator car.
Lay down the governor rope into the test groove and drive the elevator car at nominal speed downwards/
upwards.
Alternatively, the overspeed governor can be operated also by hand, by pressing the rocker lever down.
The safety switch must release and switch off the safety circuit of the elevator plant.
With a slow movement downwards/upwards, bring the overspeed governor and the brake device (the safety
gear) back again.
CONTROL OF THE SAFETY DEVICE FOR ROPE TENSION
The safety switch on the tension weight with counterweight is controlled by removing the rope of the over-
speed governor from the rope pulley.
When the control is finished, the release pin of the safety switch must be reset by hand.
