Elevator Safety Features Promotes Peace of Mind

Mitsubishi Electric, a prime name in elevators since the 1930s, is dedicated to creating better point-to-point transport experiences for all. The company ensures safety during boarding and exiting at the time of an emergency. Also, develop highly durable and safe service systems, offering advanced building security.

The company adheres to its policy "Quality in Motion," providing elevators that satisfy the customers' high levels of comfort, efficiency, ecology, and safety. Then it is anticipated that Mitsubishi Electric will commit to prioritizing passenger safety.

Safety features in preparation for emergencies are needed. Mitsubishi Electric is equipped with several safety features for events like fire and earthquakes, to name a few. For instance, Mitsubishi Emergency Landing Device (MELD), an elevator car equipped with this function, automatically moves and stops at the nearest floor using a rechargeable battery. Therefore, you can safely exit the elevator and use the stairs instead. Also, in Operations by Emergency Power Source-Automatic/ Manual (OEPS), upon power failure, the predetermined elevator cars use the building's emergency power supply to move to a specified floor to facilitate the safe evacuation of the passengers. Further, the Emergency Car Lighting (ECL), wherein the elevator car light turns on immediately to provide illumination when power fails.

Buildings have active and passive fire protection. Besides, elevators have Fire Emergency Return (FER); when activation of a key switch or the building's fire alarm, all elevator cars are canceled and immediately return to a specific evacuation floor. It also assists firefighting and rescue operations, namely Firefighter's Emergency Operations (FE). When activated, the fire operation switches during a fire; the elevator car then responds only to facilitate firefighting and rescue operations.

Additionally, Earthquake Emergency Return (EER-P/EER-S) stops the car at the nearest floor upon activation of primary and/ or secondary wave seismic sensors to facilitate safe evacuation.

For a more central controlled management feature, Mitsubishi Electric Elevator has a Supervisory Panel (WP) where the elevator's status and operation can be remotely monitored and controlled through a panel installed in a building's supervisory room. On the other hand, MelEye (WP-W) Mitsubishi Elevators & Escalators Monitoring and Control System uses advanced-based technology that provides an interface through personal computers.

Unique state-of-the-art technologies are continuously being introduced by Mitsubishi Electric to improve elevator operation, system efficiency, and safety features, contributing to its passengers' comfort and peace of mind.
