American Crescent Elevator Corp.
| Modernization We offer replacement of components of an existing elevator with components that perform the same functions but with greater efficiency or accuracy. We can replace individual components or complete systems depending on the need. Regardless of manufacturer or design we can evaluate and recommend innovative techniques and solutions. We will ensure that each system is expertly and efficiently upgraded to the latest industry standards as well as local and state codes. We only install non-proprietary microprocessor controllers. While some competitors only use proprietary equipment to lock-in their clients to long term contracts, we assure that you will receive the best system available for your needs. Some benefits of a modernization include: 1. Eliminate high repair costs: Old worn out equipment is less dependable, less safe and more costly and time-consuming to troubleshoot. More often than not, delaying the process results in wasteful repair of obsolete components that cannot be absorbed in the needed modernization. 2. Ensure passenger safety & peace of mind: Modernization brings new, more reliable equipment. More importantly, it brings state-of-the-art equipment and makes an elevator system that is safer and more readily maintained. 3. Avoid costly downtime: Equipment needing continual baby-sitting due to its marginal condition does not complement the needs of the building. ================================================================ Components of A Typical Elevator Modernization: Controller & Fire Service Addition Our controllers are microprocessor based, non proprietary, and have the ability to connect with your building's fire alarm system. Power Unit Replacement of the entire unit is generally recommended, as opposed to individual parts replacement. All components would be new and designed for the capacity and speed of the elevator. The motor, pump, and piping will be submersed in a new reservoir. Hall and Call Fixtures In most older elevators call button fixtures were not installed according to A.D.A. guidelines, updating requires that all hall and call button fixtures be lowered to the Code required height. New fixtures allow you to integrally add items such as emergency lighting, digital position and direction indicators, hands free phones, Fire Service switches, etc. Infrared Curtain Replacement of the retractable car door safety edge & two beam electric eyes with an infrared curtain is an improvement and safety enhancement that would allow unlimited protection the entire door opening height, such that any obstruction would cause the doors to automatically retract. This system replaces the two beam electric eyes/safety edge that can cause serious injury with protection that has no moving parts to get mis-aligned. Double Bottomed Cylinder Code requires new or replacement in-ground hydraulic installations to include a bottom plate plus a safety bulkhead all encased in PVC. The safety bulkhead features an opening to limit the elevators descent should a failure occur in the double bottomed cylinder. The PVC encased cylinder minimizes the risk from corrosion and leakage due to electrolysis. sales@americancrescentelevator.com |
