All In OneTHE NEW BLUEKIT-AIO

BlueKit-AIO: as small and simple as it getsAs an enhancement to our BlueKit® system proven in use around

the world, the new BlueKit-AIO system features a particularly

compact design. The BlueKit-AIO was developed to be able to be

installed more quickly and easily: You receive a complete system

with only a handful of components - cost-effective, installed in

no time and ready for use immediately. Thanks to the especially

short amortisation period, this investment really pays off!

The customized ready-to-use ventilationand smoke extraction systemThe new BlueKit® system is ideal for lifts with or without a machine room

as well as group systems. The systems are primarily installed in the top

of the shaft or in an equipment or machine room. Both functional and

economic aspects were considered during development, so that your

lift system can be operated effectively and efficiently.

BK-AIO - Perfection in detail

• Plug-in component connections• Integrable emergency power batteries• Configurable via encoding switch• Intelligent ventilation function• Integrated temperature sensor• New fire detection with maximum safety

the new BK-AIO: Simply clever!

The highlight from the BK-Factory company combines all the

technological and normative requirements in one compact

controller. This allows BK-AIO (ALL IN ONE), the most state-

of the- art and most intelligent controller for lift shaft smoke

extraction, to set completely new standards in lift shafts. The new

BlueKit® system succeeded in meeting customer requests for

simple handling, smallest dimensions, unobtrusive appearance

and fast installation. For convenient installation, we equipped

the BK-AIO controller with plug-in connectors that can be fitted

with commercially available RJ45 connection cables. The 230 V

connection also features a plug-in design.

LIFT BEAM

The new LIFT Beam

The infrared optical beam fire detector ensures active early fire

detection in lift shafts. The system includes an infrared transmitter

and receiver in one device: A clearly marked beam is guided to

a reflecting prism, which reflects the beam onto the receiver for

analysis. An alarm will be triggered if the beam comes into contact

with smoke. The LIFT Beam, specifically developed and tested for use

in the lift shaft, is CE-certified in accordance with EN 54-12.

The highlights of the LIFT Beam:

• Integrated laser: for targeted adjustment of

beam and reflector

• Auto-align: automatic, motorised alignment of

the infrared beam

• Auto-optimise: compensating building

movements and contaminations

Reporting unitLIFT STATUS

Advanced controller functionsthanks to the lift status reporting unit

An additional module that packs a punch: As a supplement to the new BK-AIO central unit, it is the complete intelligence in the smallest design. The LST Lift-Status-Transmitter recognises the presence of passengers in the lift car and regulates the air quality in the lift shaft and, therefore, the car as well. Ventilation mode and duration can be adapted to the requirements of the building’s users at any time.

By monitoring the lift use, the LST automatically determines changes in the use of the building and automatically adjusts the ventilation to the need. It is a closed unit that communicates with the BK-AIO central unit or with the remote LSR radio receiver using a wireless LST radio transmitter. If no information about the status (e.g. breakdown, travel, stop) of the lift is available via isolated contacts, this module initiates a demand-optimised ventilation of the lift shaft.

Features:• Ventilation times and other functions are set via small switches

without requiring a tool.• LEDs inform about the status of the transmitter as needed.• For quick installation and commissioning, the transmitter also

features only plug-in connections.

For your safety:meaningful measurements at the lift car

An integrated temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature exactly where the measurement is the most important: Directly in the car and not at a random point somewhere in the shaft. The air quality sensor is integratedin the LST from where it transmits the information about the hygienic air demand wireless via radio transmitter to hereceiving unit.

The transmitter features a built-in acceleration sensor. Thisenables it to determine the movement of the lift and transmit this information to the receiving unit.A lift breakdown is determined intelligently via an innovative sensor system.

The module can be supplied with the 230 V AC supply voltage located on the car roof via an integrated separate fuse. A lithium battery is available as an alternative which serves as an autonomously functioning voltage source for approx. 3 years.

BlueKit®SUPPLEMENT PRODUCTS

Effective lift shaft smoke extraction:To suit all your needs!

We developed an extensive line of accessories to supplement our new BK-AIO controller. This enables BlueKit® solutions for the lift shaft smoke extraction to perfectly adapt to the respective conditions and individual requests. If you should ever lack something, simply contact us!

Manual triggering: shev buttonwith integrated ventilation button

As an addition to the permanent monitoring of the lift shaft by the smoke extraction system, it must be possible to trigger an alarm on the main evacuation level by a smoke vent button and initiate the smoke extraction. In accordance with the current requirement of the Model Building Code (MBO - 2013), it must be possible to operate a lift shaft smoke extraction from at least one suitable location.

Automatic fire detection :smoke extraction system or optical smoke detector

In addition to the new LIFT Beam, we naturally continue to offer our MICRO-SENS® smoke extraction system: the alternative fire detection with the proven detector module. The smoke extraction system is complemented by the matching intake pipe set. The optical smoke detector is primarily used for monitoring the machine room and the main evacuation level and, as such, supplements the fire detection elements for the lift shaft in a meaningful way.

Alarm notifications:flashing lights, alarm sirens or fire bells

Whether acoustic or visual signals: We manage an extensiveprogram of different signal emitters.

Sensor system:

timers, control keys, weather sensors

Additionally, we manage a large selection of different buttons and key switches for manual ventilation requirements, but also automatic intelligent sensor systems, such as external temperature sensors and timers. As an option, the ventilation function can also be supplemented with the use of rain or wind sensors and a wind direction-dependent controller.

Stopping heat losses effectivelyusing BK-Factory closure flaps

Closure flaps prevent the uncontrolled escape of heat and energy through permanent openings. The installed flaps ensure effective ventilation regulation as well as safe smoke extraction if necessary. This requires that the functionality of the system will also be ensured under inclement weather conditions (storm, rain, snow or extreme temperatures). DIN EN 12101-2 / Specification for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators, is available as testing basis. The dimensions of the smoke exhaust vents are regulated by the individual state building codes and the requirements of the lift standards. The location of the smoke exhaust vents must be selected so that the smoke exhaust is not affected by the influence of wind (MBO / LBO).

ZVEI / VDMA guideline

For detailed information, please see the guideline «Installation and operation of smoke exhaust, ventilation and heat exhaust of lift shafts and machine rooms» from the VDMA / ZVEI as well as leaflet 2895 from the VdS.
