Emergency stop button
Additional emergency stop buttons can be situated at
strategic points of the installation, free standing/wall
mounted to improve passenger safety in emergencies.
Step demarcation
Yellow demarcation lines help passengers to stand
safely away from the edges of the step treads and are
available as painted lines or hardwearing plastic inserts.
Step upthrust device
The step upthrust device detects foreign objects
preventing the steps from levelling correctly as they
pass through the transition curves onto the landing
areas, e.g. pushchair wheels, and stops the escalator
to prevent mechanical damage.
Handrail speed monitor
This device constantly monitors the speed of the
handrails and will stop the escalator if there is a
significant speed difference between the handrails
and the steps.
Missing step detector
To ensure the escalator is not returned to service with an
incomplete step band, a proximity sensor is available
which will stop the escalator if a step has been omitted.
Voice annunciation
Voice annunciation reminds passengers how to safely
use the escalator, particularly when boarding and
disembarking. Customised messages can be provided
to suit specific site conditions.
