Hoistway Construction Outline:

• FURNISH APPROPRIATE RAIL BACKING FOR T-RAIL • CONSULT DEALER FOR SPAN OF GREATER THAN 10’ BETWEEN FLOOR JOISTS • MAINTAIN BELOW 1/8” TOLERANCES THROUGHOUT HOISTWAY • RAIL BACKING WALL MUST BE A LOAD BEARING WALL • PIT FLOOR MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 6” (8” PREFERRED) BELOW THE FINISHED FLOOR OF THE LOWEST LANDING. CONFIRM PIT DEPTH WITH ELEVATOR CONTRACTOR PRIOR TO CONCRETE POUR • CONSTRUCTION OF PIT FLOOR MUST WITHSTAND AN IMPACT LOAD OF 4000#, STATIC LOAD 2400# (950# CAPACITY) • 8’0” MINIMUM HOISTWAY OVERHEAD ABOVE THE FINISHED FLOOR AT THE TOP LANDING IS REQUIRED FOR 7’0” CAR WITH REMOTE CONTROLLER • 9’0” MINIMUM HOISTWAY OVERHEAD ABOVE THE FINISHED FLOOR AT THE TOP LANDING IS REQUIRED FOR 7’0” CAR WITH CONTROLLER LOCATED IN THE HOISTWAY • PROVIDE AN ACCESS HATCH FOR SERVICING THE CONTROLLER/DRIVE UNIT ON IN-LINE GEAR DRIVE ELEVATOR

• HATCH TO ACCESS MOTOR BRAKE ON UNITS WITH REMOTE CONTROLLER • HOISTWAY DOORS PROVIDED BY OTHERS. MINIMUM 3’0” X 6’8” SOLID CORE DOORS ARE RECOMMENDED • HOISTWAY MUST BE FREE OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS UNRELATED TO THE ELEVATOR OPERATION (I.E. SPRINKLERS, PIPES, DUCTS, ETC,) • THE STRUCTURE OF THE HOISTWAY MUST ALLOW FOR INSTALLATION OF A CHAIN HOIST TO TRANSFER MATERIALS TO THE UPPER LANDINGS DURING ELEVATOR INSTALLATION

AtSymmetryweareseriousaboutSAFETY!That’swhywe use only the best. The Relialign series by Honeywell, electromechanical door interlock holds the door in place and prevents it from being opened when not desired. A number of design features contribute to its enhanced safety, reduction of nuisance stoppages and call-backs, as well as simplified wiring and installation. A Honeywell MICRO SWITCH is used to indicate door closure, providing an extra level of reliability.

Reliability and smooth operations are also enhanced by use of a metal latch that is less susceptible to bending and breakage than plastic. The lack of open or exposed contactsminimizesthepossibilityofownersmakingmanualadjustments.Finally,theengagementofthelatchinitiates electrical contact.

Thesnapactioncammechanismrequireslessadjustmentsetup time and reduces door movement that could lead to a nuisance shutdown. Connection options include a 6-pinterminalstriporaCat5-pinconnector,simplifyinginstallation. The Relialign Series is designed to work seamlessly with your Symmetry elevator.
