The following types of safety warnings are used in the present manual.
WARNING
The safety warning with the signal word “Warning” is used to indicate a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
The safety warning with the signal word “Notice” is used to address practices that could
result in property damage but not in injury.
For the SA WSB (third party component), the abbreviations used on the type plate are
different from those used within Schindler:
Fmax corresponds to GGU (GKU).
k corresponds to BFK.
V corresponds to VKN.
Vmax corresponds to VCA.
Checks
No Step
1 Check the data on the type plate and compare it with the data of the installation.
2 Check the safety gear sealings (example: LLV and BFK).

1 Check BFK and compare the value with the data on the type plate of the safety
gear 1).
2 Check the guide rail fabrication and compare the data with the data on the type
plate of the safety gear.
3 Check the guide rail installation (guide rail joints and fastening screws).
4 Check the alignment of the safety gear together with the guide shoe to make
sure no collision with the guide rail fastenings occurs.

WARNING
Contamination of guide rail surfaces
Contaminated guide rail surfaces impair the safety gear braking action.
For correct braking action:
Thoroughly clear the guide rail surfaces from rust, Tectyl and dirt.
Use a cloth to lightly oil the guide rail surface with HLP68.
Labels
Guide Rail
Cleaning and 2 Use a scraper (4) to remove large dirt build-up. Do not damage the guide rail
surface (2).
Lubrication
3 Use a brush (1) to apply the cleaning solvent to the guide rail surface (2).
The cleaning solvent used must be approved by the local Schindler office.
See NOK_5999405 for approved cleaning solvents.
4 Wait 1 ... 2 minutes to allow the solvent to dissolve the rust and dirt.
5 Wipe the guide rail surface (2), and clean with a rag (3) or scrub sponge soaked
in the cleaning solvent.

WARNING
Synchronous Safety Gear Actuating Mechanisms
Actuating mechanisms need to actuate synchronously. Mechanisms which do not actuate
the safety gear synchronously could have a negative effect on the operational safety,
resulting in damage to the installation or in serious injury or death.
When the actuating lever is lifted, make sure that the brake pads of all safety gears contact
the guide rail at the same time.

The dimension x is the distance between the governor lever (in normal position) and the
upper governor lever stop. The value of x depends on the combination of safety gear
type and tripping mechanism.
The dimension y is the remaining gap between the governor lever and governor lever
stop after the brake part, for example wedge, has made contact with the guide rail. To
maintain the value of y, the upper governor lever stop, see above table, has to be
adjusted so that the safety gear engages securely and independently.
WARNING
Safety Gears Need to Match With the Elevator Installation
Safety gears which have not been designed for a particular application could have a
negative effect on the operational safety.
Before installing the safety gears, make sure that:
The data on the type label of the safety gears corresponds with the data of the elevator
installation.
The required seals on the adjustments are intact.
WARNING
Safety Gear Braking Action Impaired by Incorrect Adjustment (brake roller)
Safety gears with reduced braking action could result in damage to the installation or in
serious injury or death.
For correct braking action of the safety gears, the brake roller must not touch the bottom of
the roller cage.

4.1 Regulations
NOTICE
Test Load (GQT) Requirement for the Car Safety Gear Engagement Test
Performing the car safety gear engagement test with inappropriate load in the car could
result in damage to the installation.
The car safety gear engagement test must be performed with the car loaded according to
the regulations.
The braking mark distances for progressive safety gears given for the counterweight
(with no test load) correspond to the braking mark distances of the previous Schindler
test on car side (with test load 100 % of the rated load).
The braking mark distances are based on a load balancing factor KG of the car and
counterweight of 50 %. Consider that for a smaller KG (for example: 40 %), the braking
mark distances are longer. For a larger KG (for example: 60 %), the braking marks
distances are shorter.
EN 81-1: 1998 According to EN 81-1, the goal of the engagement test before putting the elevator into
operation is to check the correct installation, correct setting and the reliability of the
complete assembly, comprising car, safety gear, guide rail and guide rail fastening.
The engagement test must be performed as follows:

NOTICE
Simultaneous Activation of the Car and Counterweight Safety Gears (during brake
tests)
Simultaneous activation of the car and counterweight safety gears could result in damage to
the installation and/or in difficulties with the safety gear recovery.
Secure the safety gears which are not being tested against unintended activation by the
test.

For intermediate values of the rated speed VKN, use linear interpolation to calculate braking
marks SLR or SLS.
4.4.1 SA RF Series
Cars using a SA RF series safety gear have to come to a stop. There is no criteria to the
braking mark distance.
After the test, the surface of the guide rails have to be planed with a file.
The braking mark distances for GED Series are based on a load balancing factor KG of
car and counterweight of 40 ... 50 %.
The start position of the SLR measurement is defined as the first visible mark on the
guide rail as shown in the figure above.

WARNING
Uneven braking action of safety gears
Uneven braking action of safety gears could result in death or serious injury or in damage to
the installation.
For correct braking action, apply any corrective action equally to the safety gears of the
elevator installation.
The GED Series and the SA GED Series are not identical in terms of BFK mapping.
Do not change the packing of the disk spring packets. Always place thin shim rings
between two thicker washers.

Checking After an acceptance test and before setting the elevator system into operation, the following
Procedure checks have to be carried out:
No Step
1 Check the guide rail condition.
2 Check all the guide rail fastenings.
3 Check the general condition of the safety gear:
Fastenings
No damaged parts
Ease of movements of parts (for example: rollers, wedges, eccentric, etc.).
4 Check the brake plates. Also see section "Special Checks".
5 Check the ease of movement of the complete actuating mechanism.
6 Check that the safety gear is in its stand-by position.
7 Check the overspeed governor system.
Thickness of
Brake Plate No Step
1 Measure the thickness Z of the brake plate with a caliper gauge (3) at the four
measurement points (1).
2 Replace the brake plate if:
For VKN < 3.5 m/s: (Z1 + Z2 + Z3 + Z4) / 4 < Zmin = 7.8 mm
For VKN ≥ 3.5 m/s: (Z1 + Z2 + Z3 + Z4) / 4 < Zmin = 7.9 mm.
