But It’s A New Elevator

[@mikepugs95]

New controller and machines. Keep the door equipment to save money? Sounds familiar

[@deathless12345678]

Mod guy here. I always think of the maintenance guys when i set up the car top. That inspection box fits nice on the handrail with a lil L bracket

[@MQElevators]

👏

[@Mpx220]

You can use Hoistway access at the terminal floors or use a stick (lol) to prop the Otis restrictor halfway to clear the plate

[@MQElevators]

I thought of the stick trick driving home lol 😂

[@gliese909]

Did you put a meter on the contacts to check for continuity? Did you also insure the shaft access key is wired correctly since it's a terminal landing (and the in-cabin access ins. switch too)?

[@MQElevators]

I did not. It’s been running without door locks issues since I cleaned it

[@baelevatorsmore728]

Man the whole “But it’s new” issue has got me today. We installed new self-checkout machines and activated them this morning and we’re already having issues. But man, not even a month and the Galaxy’s are having issues

[@MQElevators]

Still on going lol

[@jasonrucker3143]

🤣 exactly, where am I supposed to sit! Maybe add a wrap to the spirator make sure hall door is closing nice and tight that last 1”. If the beak contact has excessive wear you can rotate it maybe get some life out of it that way. Let us know on IG as well ✌🏻

[@unnmaed]

Are you serious about it?

[@coaxgaming2547]

2:21 ~ 2:23, you appear to have found the elevator demon or smth (when you look in between the elevator gap of the cart)

[@sallyrevenge2563]

Typically the restrictor on the gate can be pulled up into the non-restricting position. There should be a loop of wire rope to pull on, and a hook left of cartop to pull it.

[@MQElevators]

That’s such a great idea

[@6758nelson]

Door operator closing creep speed to slow or low voltage ground floor door lock. Or maybe door track dirty, the seems nice,good luck whit that one.

[@joeynox]

You guys should have modded the door equipment also. that otis stuff is terrible. those restrictors are like wings and if u get a broom stick it should fold back and by part. it will depend on car door to shaft door clearance but i normally use a stick.

[@jarbo7818]

We actually just put some car top box's on sideways so it's easier for service guy

[@MQElevators]

That’s awesome 👏

[@jdtayloruk]

Simple question, do you use door safety sensors and those door restrictors? I hope I’m not being silly, but is the door safety sensor working or switched on and not detecting anything. Im just wondering whether it’s the safety sensor stopping the door moving bing dirty or similar.

[@MQElevators]

Do you mean the light rays?

[@jdtayloruk]

@@MQElevators yes

[@alexandrafreeman8135]

I love the GUI on the monitor. Maybe they will do service apps too??!!

[@andrewpagan4899]

Got a call once in a building with the same controller I was accompanied by the super to the motor room even though I’ve been to the building a million times I call them vultures anyway as I walk into the motor room the super asks me get it running tonight please I said yea no he asked why and I pointed to the waterfall coming down into the controller frying everything New mod car passed acceptance test 2 weeks before that happen I’d rather be in Canada then have to deal with NY supers One guy told me he thinks his elevator ran out of gas smh he was dead serious 😂

[@philipcollins3849]

Otis door lock

[@cong1sena2]

the Galaxy 4 is not as good as it is advertised, many design changes, that the new owners did and again they are NOT Elevator people. trust me I have been fixing and redesigning all sorts for problems with this system...no new locks thats bad, contact problems are going to pop up. also the new machines, are also vantage owned, so good luck,,,...

[@MQElevators]

Already having the selector faults can’t be good, I’ll get to know it pretty good at this pace.

[@deathless12345678]

Get that door figured? Got a hail mary for yeah if not. Those old otis doors suck. Love the locks but the doors....meh

[@MQElevators]

I actually did spend any time on it because they’re just gonna order a board, the other mechanic had already spoken to GAL I guess.
