ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION

FOR ROYAL SUPERDYNE (ACVV) Models

 Necessity of

Modernization
Even with periodic maintenance, it is generally difficult
to maintain optimal elevator performance beyond the original service life.
As user requirements and social needs change over time,
the original elevator performance itself no longer meets the needs of the times.

Under such circumstances, owners and managers

are now requested to maintain elevator safety and security
from the standpoint of elevator users.

Security

accidents, which may trigger more unexpected trouble. By
modernizing, electrical systems that have higher risks for
failure due to age, while usable parts remain unchanged,
will be replaced and upgraded. For durable goods such as
elevators, we do not recommend makeshift repairs.

Safety
Based on manufacturer’s product information (*1) including
design concept at the time of manufacturing, we study the
effect on the entire system and how remaining portions
interact with upgraded portions; thus minimizing failure
risk after modernization. In addition, various safety devices,
systems and functions that are standard features in the
latest elevator models will be added.
(*1) If any elevator maintenance or modernization work had been consigned or outsourced to a
third-party other than Fujitec or any of its affiliated companies, the original design may have
been modified. In this case, consult a Fujitec sales representative.

 ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION

Improvement in Operation Performance Recommended Elevator Modernization Schedule

Breakdown Rate varies greatly from pre- and post modernization. An old elevator is inferior to the latest one in terms of safety, comfort, reliability
(Survey by Fujitec) and energy savings, as well as in design. In order to make in-building travel safer
and more comfortable and to enhance the value of a building or property, eleva-
tor modernization is indispensable.

Rate of Breakdown

The average elevator replacement cycle is 20 to 25 years.

Being Trouble-free is the Best Solution

Just replacing deteriorated parts is not enough
to eliminate the risk for failure or accidents. The
replacement or repair of deteriorated parts do
nothing more than to partially or temporarily stop
deterioration from age and usage.
On the other hand, through modernization, older
or antiquated microcomputer-controlled systems
are replaced with the latest high-performance
microcomputer-controlled systems.

Prevent Accidents Caused by Closing Doors

Multibeam Sensor O pt i on

Infrared beams along the full opening height of the doors will create an invisible beam
curtain. Interrupting any of the beams will cause the closing doors to stop and reopen.
Through the use of multi-infrared beams, the sensor features high detectability of a moving
person or object while the door is closing.
* Only two beams are available for some elevator models.

Daily Essential Inspection

Brake inspection operation will be automatically performed once every day, late at night or early in the morning; when there are few
passengers in order to diagnose brake performance.
The elevator detects abnormalities, ensuring appropriate preventative maintenance.
* Please note that the above operation will not apply to Plan A. (See page 6.)

Smooth Ride
The Latest Inverter Control(VVVF) Enhances Ride Quality
The latest inverter control system ensures the best traveling performance. Much
smoother operation and dramatically improved ride quality will be obtained.

Noise Reduction in Machine Room

VVVF-controlled motors dedicated especially to elevator operation will minimize motor-generated noise. Owing to this large reduction
of the noise, a level of noise in surrounding areas of machine rooms is much lowered in comparison of that caused by conventional
ACVV-controlled motors.

Plan A (Inverter Control)

An inverter will be installed for the speed control unit. Elsewhere, existing parts, except motor, will be reused. The package
minimizes parts replacement, aiming at price reduction and shorter work time.

Plan B (Simple COP Replacement)

The COP, motor and IR switches will be upgraded and an inverter will be installed for the door. Existing parts will be reused
elsewhere. To reuse non-distributed control type of landing fixture devices (HB and HIN), Sub COP will be added as a measure.

Plan C (COP Replacement)

The COP, motor and electrical devices in the vicinity of the car will be upgraded. To reuse non-distributed control type of
landing fixture devices (HB and HIN), Sub COP will be added as a measure.

Plan D (Control Upgrade with Traction Machine Re-use)

A set of electrical systems will be modernized to improve quality and performance.

Plan E (Control Upgrade with Traction Machine Replacement)

In addition to a set of electrical systems modernization, traction machine will be replaced with the latest drive unit so as to
improve ride quality.
