3.1.1.3 KONE MonoSpace

^®

Machine-Room-Less Elevator

KONE's MonoSpace^® elevator is a 2:1 roped traction elevator with a side counterweight. It maximises both vertical and horizontal space efficiency.

KONE MonoSpace^® eliminates the need for a separate machine room.

In traditional elevator systems the machinery of the elevator has been mounted in a machine room. This has taken up valuable rental space and sometimes dominated building design. Since the machine is located in the elevator shaft, these problems no longer exist.

KONE MonoSpace® is designed for new or existing buildings.

Passengers control the movement of the elevator car with the push buttons located in the elevator car and at the landings. The push buttons are connected to the elevator control panel which is the “intelligence”

of the elevator.

When the control system registers a call given by a passenger, the car moves in the required direction along guide rails.

The car is connected to a counterweight with the ropes passing over the traction sheave/machine. The risk of ropes breaking is negligible provided their condition is monitored according to the maintenance instructions.

When the drive system rotates the motor and traction sheave, the car and counterweight move correspondingly.

KONE MonoSpace^® elevators are designed and equipped to fully comply with all relevant EU directives and are built and installed in accordance with ISO 9000 quality assurance requirements.

Owner’s Documentation

Maintenance Instructions

3.1.1.5 Machine

The machine is a gearless synchronous mechanism driven by a variable frequency drive.

3.1.1.6 Shaft Electrification Panel (SEP)

The shaft electrification panel is a part of the elevator control system, placed in the elevator shaft.

3.1.1.7 Maintenance Access Panel (MAP)

The MAP is typically located on the topmost or second topmost floor beside the landing door and contains the elevator emergency drive buttons and the car light supply switch. Due to its placement, it is extremely important that the MAP door is closed and locked at all times. There should not be any flammable materials near MAP.

Note Do not block the working space in front of the MAP. The MAP is needed in rescue and maintenance operations.

Warning Never leave the MAP door unlocked or open while it is unattended. This provides unauthorised persons access to the elevator controls and may cause danger.

Warning Never remove the shields from the electrical system while the system is energised.

Warning The elevator's electrical systems are behind the shield and there is a risk of an electric shock if the shield is removed.

3.1.1.8 Overspeed Governor

The overspeed governor's function is to stop the elevator, using the safety gear and assisted by the machine brakes. The overspeed governor operates if the elevator car exceeds its rated speed, locking the governor rope which is attached to the safety gear. The safety gear then stops the elevator car. The governor is a mechanical device so remains functional even in the event of a power failure.

3.1.1.9 Landing And Car Doors

Doors are fixed to each landing and on the elevator car to protect users from injury during operation of the elevator. Electrical contacts in the door prevent the elevator from moving if the doors are not fully closed.

Landing doors are fitted with a special lock that keeps the doors closed and locked if the elevator car is not level at that landing floor. Preventing the landing door opening by accident is necessary to prevent people from falling into the elevator shaft.

Protective devices, for example, photocells, are installed on the car entrance to prevent the doors from closing if someone is entering or exiting the elevator, or standing too close to the doors. In addition to protective devices, all automatic doors have a closing force limiter, which prevents people being crushed between the door panels.

If the construction of the door panels is to be changed, check with KONE that the changes are allowed and do not harm the functioning of doors.

Owner’s Documentation

Maintenance Instructions

3.1.1.10 Elevator Car

The purpose of the elevator car is to provide an enclosure for passengers so that they may be carried safely from floor to floor. The elevator car is surrounded by a car frame, which strengthens the elevator car.

3.1.1.11 Counterweight

The counterweight ensures traction between the shaft top diverting pulleys and the suspension ropes, and comprise a set of weights to balance the weight of the car and a proportion of the car load.

3.1.1.12 Guide Rails

The guide rails are steel rails which guide the elevator car and counterweight through the elevator shaft.

Guide rails are attached vertically to the shaft structure.

3.1.1.13 Buffers

The buffers stop the elevator car or counterweight if they descend beyond their normal limit of travel. The

“over travel” is improbable because there are many electric safety devices, which initiate braking in any abnormal situation, preventing the car going beyond the lowest or topmost floor level. Because of the buffers, the car or counterweight do not hit the pit floor under any circumstances.

3.1.1.14 Elevator Ropes

Elevator ropes are used to connect the elevator car to the machine traction sheave pulleys and counterweight.

Each rope is capable of supporting the elevator with a safety factor according to the elevator standards.

3.1.1.15 Signalisation

The KONE Signalisation System (KSS) is the elevator's user interface. With operating panels and displays it informs the passengers of the elevator's position, allows them to call the elevator and set the destination floor.

The KONE Signalisation System transfers these messages to the elevator network. The elevator network feeds control information to the control unit, which drives the elevator according to user commands.

If KONE Remote Monitoring Services™ is used, the signalisation system also operates as a voice connection between the elevator and the service company, allowing trapped passengers to talk to the service company.

3.1.1.16 Safety Gear

The safety gear is a mechanical safety device attached to the elevator car frame. If the elevator car exceeds its rated speed and the governor locks the governor rope, the safety gear firmly grips the guide rails and stops the elevator car.

3.1.1.17 Brakes

The brakes are electromechanical devices that prevent the elevator car from moving when the car is at rest or power is cut to the machine motor.

Two independently-operating brakes keep the position of the traction sheave. The brakes close automatically
