+Daniel Dzvonik No matter how prepared you are it always catches you out haha! Years ago this would have been enough for me not to enter but not anymore ;)
Just wanted to say thank you, I needed an elevator motor for a project I am working on, I used this video to create a 3d model for printing. So thanks...
Sounds like there is a lot of idle power being wasted there by a transformer. Once i put a power measuring thing on my amplifier which has no switch between the internal transformer and the cord. It was wasting about 60 watts/h non-stop, even when not turned on. Imagine what a transformer would waste when making the noise heard in this video.. :-)
That motor noise makes me jump sometimes when I watch this video, the camera is looking at the controller and then it starts with a BANG! Sometimes I remember but sometimes I forget haha!
RODALCO2007 Thanks, and an unguarded machine. Most stuff in the UK is guarded to prevent anyone getting close to anything that moves - much of it is OTT.
Question for you, while at work today I work in a theatre and there is a elevator right in front of the entrance and I saw Sparks comming from on top of the elevators control panel well near it, not sure if it actually was but I heard some poping sounds and a blue spark flash In 2 successions of each time the elevator went down, was wondering on your thoughts of what it could be, as soon as I saw that I immediately called mall security and reported it, even the maintance crew looked stunned.
Nice elevator motoring and installed system electrical controller box isn’t. Did you hear that… motor run at slightly different speeds when the lift is going up or down. Be careful, may haze by touch electric shock something in there. Just take care and take easy mate you go inside elevator motoring with responsibly!
>>Did you hear that… motor run at slightly different speeds when the lift is going up or down. If the elevator car is empty, it will move down slightly slower than up, the counterweight is much heavier than the empty car.
Алексей Рукин Yep, that's right. The CW weights the same as the lift car PLUS a 40% load. This means it's easier for the lift to run upwards. Also, if the lift got stuck and there was only a few people trapped in the lift, it's easier to hand-wind the lift in the upwards direction to the nearest landing.
I am expert when it comes to electro-mechanical devices. I consider myself to be well educated in this area. I have been in two motor rooms in my life, once in an block of flats and the other was in san Francisco attheir YWCA. (It was cooed when I stayed there.My room was very close to motor room and I was able to get in and have a look... The main drive was from 1930s! Relayed, and no autotronics whatsoever. This has been the case for both motor rooms I had visited. The first one I was escorted by our building manager therein.
motor sound like energoinvest motor or david pajić motor all these motors are from yugoslavia and this motors are used in daka lifts and david pajić lifts david pajić and daka is maked on schindler licence
Relays and Contactors get dirt and stuff inside them and it start to cause noises like this. Usually giving them a bit of a smack can sort them out although sometimes due to how old the contacts are they will do this constantly. This noise isn't just subject to Relays and Contactors, anything that is electric that is at a high enough voltage.
I love all your videos but often wonder if there are any old fashioned what I call cage lifts left in the uk with manual sliding open gate doors, I guess health and safety has banned them?
Hi Paul, thanks for your comment! I know exactly the ones you mean, I've found a couple of lifts that may qualify such as this one from a long time ago th-cam.com/video/MyvMW8PR7pc/w-d-xo.html It's not quite the vintage model that you mean, ah, but how about this one... th-cam.com/video/Oc7SWXGmiUc/w-d-xo.html Again, a long time ago and the quality is rubbish, but that's about it. A lot of the vintage lifts, although they've kept their interiors, most are modernised in some way to comply with H&S, but they do exist.
mrmattandmrchay Hi and Happy Easter to you both, first of all thanks for replying it's good to hear from you, I've spent many hours watching your lift videos, love them all, as for the links you sent me they were exactly what I mean and was fascinated watching them, am amazed they've been able to conform to h&s standards especially with gates that young kids could stick fingers through and my god the wiring looks really dodgy, I liked the door interlock I think they are called in the second video the basic switch as the door was opened and closed was amazing, I love old lifts and like you saddened to see the old ones modified. I think of you every time I visit Debenhams in Sutton in Surrey as although not really old they certainly don't have the modern floor and doors opening/closing voice announcement the buttons are very 80s and most don't light up as they should, the floor indicators are green 7 segment led's and not that bright either and even the car lighting is not that modern but adequate, from memory I think they are Otis but don't hold me to that lol. Thanks again and keep posting you're great videos, amazes me just how much there is in some motor rooms with loads of panels and circuits. Cheers, Paul.
Happy Easter to you also! I enjoy responding to comments, as I'm respectful that you guys who give me the views in the first place, so I do try and respond to most people. I've got a video coming up featuring an O&K machine room (part 1 is up already). The problem is, it's so cool I think I HAVE to go back and do some more in-detail filming! And I hear what you are saying about new lifts, to me they are just a means of transport to get from A to B and I have very little interest in them. Have a good day!
+Mr Penguin2 A CPU is a part of a computer. And any CPU needs a program to run, and needs inputs/outputs to be useful. Practically the same as the definition 'computer'. Though not a regular PC. I think you won't be able to find a lift on earth which is run by a regular PC. ;-)
+Mr Penguin2 O microcontroller or microprocessor. Could be implemented using a PLC, not sure. But not a real PC. Just imagine, "windows have installed new updates and needs to restart ... puffff".
I Would Say That The Same Date Of Installation Would Have the Famous Polish Zremb Series Elevators, They are on the way of their extinction, By Replacing Them With the Newer elevators. Many Are Still Functioning As the Either Original Or Refurbished
mrmattandmrchay tbh the title did not give it away i remember this video being shown to my by my cousin lol so since then just got used to the video although i used it oh her to get catch her out lol :)
Simon Speksnijder You can do it from the controller card, but couldn't work out how to do it! Yeah those Express relays were easy to press to select calls!
As far as I know Thames Valley Lifts and Thames Valley Controls aren't the same company (however correct me if I'm wrong?) TVL is a generic lift company and TVC makes parts for people who assemble generic "off the shelf" lifts.
Take care, entry of the elevator motoring. Might you dare of this electric controller with elevator machinery, is will could be startled at it!!! (What a scare me sound loud... is make me hic-cup!!!)
well the jump sounds it does scered the life out of me i was doing somthing once then next min the intire thing went ScD ouch flying in the air in my bedroom again

Very nice little controller love the status lights. You can hear the motor run at slightly different speeds when the lift is going up or down.

That scared the crap out of me.. I was looking at the relay shots you were filming and had headphones on .
rodenthideout me too I had head phones
You don't see discreet components and single sided boards like that anymore. very reliable to I expect.
0:33 Jump scare 1
3:00 Jump scare 2 - That was one heck of a jump scare.
Brilliant! The circuit boards look very old school with the ceramic disc capacitors and 7 seg displays!
Just wanted to say thank you, I needed an elevator motor for a project I am working on, I used this video to create a 3d model for printing. So thanks...
Holy shaft that second jumpscare really got me lol
haha, still love hearing these comments. Cruel, but it's got me a couple of times also!
Wow, I'd like to have one of those circuitboards...!! Nice!!!
Marcel v. A. Next time I go there I'll remove one for you, which one would you like? (just joking haha, I think the lift would not work without it!)
I was joking too. I just love that kind of elevator electronics and your elevator movies as well.

Its the contactor

Lots of Health and safety requirements needed on that site, good vid thanks.
haha yes, but at least it's been left alone! Probably modded by now. Thanks for the comment

All I'm gonna say is that levelling is insanely quick and snappy!
Interesting controller box. Nicely made circuit boards, At least standard logic IC's instead of a µP. Nice video.

I love how u were like “HOLY SH*T oh it’s just the elevator/ lift
Thanks for this, much appreciated.
:)
Man you have balls.. 👌🏻
As a kid NO WAY would i have done this as all lifts scared the hell out of me. Nowadays I love it haha
Would it be possable to show a little bit around the pit,,,,tension wheel of the speed governor,buffers etc,,,,cheers
This reminds me of Herschel Car Park - it has already started to sound like them lol!
these jump scares got me ^^
Wow I jumped in the second one XD good one
;)
Is that a 3-floor building?
It doesn't jumpscare's me.
I like all of the sounds.
I used to work on a 60s commercial washing machine and it made you jump it going in to spin to :)

Can someone tell me when the jump scare coming whrite it to me please!
What kind of lift is it and does it still exist?

Not sure if it still exists, not been back since I filmed it. 90% chance it's been modernised by now, as this was some years ago now

The sound is dagerous

Nice vid! Pity it's all electronic, now you can't press any relays like in "PROBABLY THE BEST 'elevator relay logic vid".
to get the lift going to video it. Now you have to wait till someone uses the lift (and indeed that can make you jumpy LOL).
