Enhancing Elevator Safety with Advanced Monitoring Systems
As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and reliability of your elevator systems, we offer specialized Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) and Car Door Position Monitoring (DPM) services. These systems are designed to prevent elevator operation in case of any door-related malfunctions, providing an essential safety layer in line with the latest ASME standards.
What is Door Lock Monitoring?
Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) is a critical safety feature that prevents elevator movement if any issues are detected in the door locks, wiring, or contacts. Under ASME A17.1 and A17.3 standards, DLM functions by detecting potential faults and stopping automatic elevator operation until issues are resolved. This is particularly vital in high-traffic buildings where elevator safety is paramount.
Why It Matters
In Florida, all elevators with hoistway doors mechanically connected to power-operated car doors are required to have DPM/DLM capabilities. The Florida Bureau of Elevator Safety enforces these standards to ensure that all elevator systems, both new and existing, meet stringent safety requirements. By monitoring door positions and lock integrity, DPM/DLM systems enhance passenger safety and reduce the risk of accidents.
Key Compliance Standards
- ASME A17.1 and A17.3 Compliance: These codes require DPM/DLM systems to function properly, especially during Firefighters’ Emergency Operation (FEO). Any faults must trigger a halt to automatic operation within the landing zone.
- Certified Elevator Inspector (CEI) Testing: Compliance testing must follow the manufacturer’s instructions for DPM/DLM systems, ensuring they operate according to code and in coordination with other safety protocols.
- Documentation and Testing Requirements: CEIs must verify each elevator’s DPM/DLM system as part of the Maintenance Control Program (MCP). This includes testing records, manufacturer’s instructions, and updated electrical schematics.
Benefits of Implementing DPM/DLM in Your Building
- Enhanced Safety: Automatically halts elevator operation if faults in door locks or wiring are detected.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets Florida’s safety code requirements, ensuring your building is up to date with the latest standards.
- Reduced Liability: Minimizes risks associated with door lock malfunctions and improves overall passenger safety.
