Elevator positioning system USP 30 / 100
Installation – an overview
The elevator positioning system USP is installed in the shaft on
the guiding rail of the elevator cabin. The system primarily con-
sists of the following components:
2 dampers, receiver, transmitter, signal wire and swing protec-
tion, as well as the correction sensor and the actuating magnets
for the system USP 100.
The C-profiles required for installation are mounted outside the
travel way of the elevator cabin. The link to mount the transmit-
ter is attached to the elevator cabin.
Depending on where the machinery room for the elevator is lo-
cated, the receiver can be located either in the shaft head or in
the shaft pit. In the example shown the machine room is located
in the shaft head. Therefore the receiver should be installed at
shaft head.
If the machinery room is in the shaft pit, this means that the
receiver should also be installed in the shaft pit and the swing
protection as a holder for the dampers in the shaft head.
The reason for the different arrangement of the system compo-
nents is the wiring of the receiver. A less than optimum arran-
gement of the system components can mean that it becomes
necessary to draw the entire wiring along the whole length of
the shaft.
The signal wire running vertically through the system is used
to transfer the measuring signal. A damper element is attached
to each end of the signal wire. The signal wire is wound onto
mounting device for easier handling during the installation.
You must avoid bends or scratches of the signal wire. Only
apply the wire in an appropriate manner.
The correction sensor that has to be mounted in addition for
the USP 100 system is installed at the chamfer of the elevator
cabin, the associated actuators are fastened to the inner wall of
the shaft under the doors.
The USP 30 is designed for travel heights of up to 30 metres,
the USP 100 for travelling heights of up to 130 metres.
