4. OPERATION

Operating from the Landing Controls

  1. If equipped with a key switch, insert the key into the key switch on the Hall Call station and turn the key to the ON position.
  2. Press the Hall Call button once and release. The elevator will automatically come to your landing.
  3. Turn the key (if equipped) to the OFF position and remove the key.
  4. If required, turn the door handle and pull the door open.
  5. If the cab has a manual gate, slide the gate open and enter the cab.
  6. Once inside the cab, close the gate, insert the key (if equipped) into the key switch on the Cab Operating Panel, and turn the key to the ON position.
WARNING: Wheelchair wheels must be locked at all times when the elevator is moving.

Operating from the Cab Operating Panel (COP) Controls

  1. If equipped with a key switch, insert the key into the key switch on the Cab Operating Panel and turn the key to the ON position.
  2. Press the selected Landing button once and release. The elevator will automatically travel to and stop at the selected landing.
  3. Turn the key (if equipped) to the OFF position and remove the key.
  4. Unlock the wheelchair wheels (if applicable) and exit the cab.
NOTE: If the cab is equipped with a gate, the gate must be closed after exiting the cab. If the gate is left open, all controls will remain inoperable. The outside landing door must be closed after exiting or entering the cab. If the outside landing door is left open, all controls will remain inoperable.

Cab Lights

If the cab door is left open and the cab lights turn off, there are two ways to get the lights back on again:

  • Enter the cab, close the door and gate, and then press a Landing button.
  • Press a Hall Call button before entering the cab.

5. POWER FAILURE AND EMERGENCY LOWERING

In the event of a power failure, the elevator is equipped with a Battery Back-Up system that allows you to lower the elevator from the inside of the cab. This device operates on batteries and is only activated if a main power supply failure occurs. The operation is as follows:

  • Press any Landing button below the floor where the elevator is located.
  • On arrival at the selected floor, the landing door will automatically unlock.
  • If there is an automatic gate, the gate will open.
  • Remove the key, open the manual gate (if equipped), and exit the cab.

6. EMERGENCY LIGHTING

In the event of a main power failure, the emergency COP light will turn on automatically.

7. MANUAL LOWERING

In the event of a power failure, the UPS lowers the cab to the next landing and opens the doors. Should the UPS fail, you can use the telephone to call for help. The Manual Hand Crank can then be used to lower the elevator.

  1. Instruct the passenger(s) in the elevator to remain calm and stay well back from the door of the elevator. Ease their concern by telling them your intentions.
  2. Switch the main disconnect switch for the main power supply to the elevator controller to the "OFF" position.
  3. Locate the Motor Access Door, insert the Manual Hand Crank onto the motor shaft, and crank the elevator to the next lowest level.
  4. To exit the cab, open the landing door (using the special emergency key) and assist the passenger(s).
NOTE: After use of any emergency function (access key or manual lowering device), ensure that all doors/gates are secure and locked. While the emergency function is in use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.

8. DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostic beep codes are provided to help you diagnose a problem. All beep codes that begin with a long beep (on for 2 seconds) are Service codes (contact your authorized Savaria dealer).

If you press a Hall Call button and hear a beep from the car top, but the car doesn't move, refer to the information in the following table.

Eclipse Service & Beep Codes

9. MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance (performed by your Authorized Savaria Dealer) will keep your elevator in proper operating condition. Please remember, as the owner of this elevator, you are responsible for making sure that maintenance and upkeep are done on a regularly scheduled basis.

NOTE: If the unit is shut down for an extended period of time, contact your Authorized Savaria Dealer to perform complete maintenance before starting up the unit.

To ensure proper operating condition of your unit, the items listed below must be inspected and, if necessary, serviced a minimum of twice per year. Additional inspections may be required depending on usage.

  1. Tighten all rail and cab fastening bolts.
  2. Lubricate the door hinges and adjust the door closure if required.
  3. Lubricate the rails with light grease, such as white lithium.
  4. For a Gatemate operator, lubricate the shaft and bushing using a general silicone lubrication spray (lubricate on installation as well).
  5. Inspect the traveling cable for wear. Replace the cable if any cuts or damage to the jacket are evident.
  6. Replace the batteries inside the control panel as indicated on the battery label.
  7. Perform the required maintenance to the door locks.
  8. Activate and test the safety mechanism.
  9. Check, and if necessary, adjust the motor brake air gap. Refer to the Eclipse Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide (P/N 000858) to do this.
  10. Check the "Replace Battery" light on the front of the UPS. If it is ON, replace the battery inside the UPS. Otherwise, replace the UPS battery every 4 years.
  11. Check that the phone is functioning properly.
NOTE: Units installed in adverse environments will require additional maintenance on a monthly basis.
