Elevator, escalator, and moving walkway systems require sensors that meet EN 81, EN 115, and related safety standards. Door edge protection, car presence detection, and machine room instrumentation must combine fail-safe behaviour with the reliability expected of life-safety systems in public infrastructure.
Bircher PrimeScan
Bircher PrimeScan active infrared safety curtains provide EN 81-20 and EN 16005 compliant door reversal protection on elevator car doors, detecting obstacles across the full door height.
Bircher UniScan
Bircher UniScan active infrared presence detectors monitor the elevator lobby zone, detecting passengers approaching the doors and extending door-open time to prevent entrapment.
Bircher Safety Mat
Bircher safety mats installed at escalator comb plate entry zones detect passenger falls or obstruction at the comb, triggering emergency escalator stop.
Schmersal Safety
Schmersal safety interlocks on elevator machine room access doors ensure only authorised maintenance personnel can access high-voltage drive equipment while the car is in service.
EGE Inductive Proximity
EGE inductive proximity switches monitor escalator handrail speed in relation to step speed, triggering emergency stop if handrail speed deviates outside allowable limits.
EGE Fill Level Sensors
EGE fill level sensors detect water accumulation in elevator pit sump pits, triggering alerts before flooding damages drive and safety equipment.
EN 81 compliant active infrared safety curtains for elevator door edge protection.
Presence detection for elevator lobby zones and door timing extension.
Pressure-sensitive mats for escalator comb zone safety detection.
Safety switching equipment designed specifically for elevator and lift applications.
Handrail speed monitoring and car arrival sensing on escalators and lifts.
Pit flooding detection to protect elevator drive and safety systems.
