The latest product in Elgo’s LIMAX series is the LIMAX2CP safety sensor, which combines recording of the shaft position, speed and various safety functions in one housing. CP stands for compact. The new sensor is of especial interest for efficient shaft measurements. Even for a compact device, it is extremely small at 374.5 x 120 x 40 mm. Ideal for environments where space is of a premium.
Apart from conventional safety functions, LIMAX2CP also monitors the door zones (pre-opening, re-levelling) and unintended car movement (UCM). In addition, it is the only sensor on the market certified according to the current standards EN 81-50 and EN 61508 that in addition features inspection and start-up functions according to EN 81-20, 21 and EN 81-50. A test is also integrated to check unintended bridging of the car and landing doors at each stop.
In general, LIMAX2CP can be connected to electronic safety gear. In this case, the governor is eliminated, thus further reducing the number of components in the shaft.
Since these safety functions are integrated in the sensor, no additional safety box needs to be installed. Easy mounting is guaranteed by the cables being directly inserted on the sensor. The covers for the cables are designed in various IP protective classes (IP43, IP54 or IP65) to ensure the sensor can be flexibly adjusted to the circumstances of the lift system.
COMPLETE SAFETY MECHANISM IS ELECTRONICALLY DESIGNED
Another special feature, which to date is unique on the market, is that all safety mechanisms in the new LIMAX2CP are electronic in design. Since electromechanical switches are no longer used, the sensor is not only especially sturdy vis-a-vis vibrations and environmental influences, but also permits self-diagnosis of the sensor during operation without interrupting lift operation.
Thanks to the safety relays being eliminated and an internal energy saving switch, the LIMAX2CP enjoys low power consumption and as a result contributes to improving/preserving the efficiency class of the lift.
