Elevator Control Systems

Introduction

For almost a century C.J. Anderson & Company has been manufacturing controllers for both national and international markets. As a pioneer in the field CJA has manufactured thousands of controllers, from tiller rope and car switch to the present day microprocessor. With this vast number of controllers in the field most elevator constructors or mechanics are familiar with CJA’s design, operation and construction. It is our policy to retain the familiar design principles while incorporating modern technology into the control systems.

Elevator Control Systems
CJA’s objective is to utilize the best available technology, equipment selection and design which will suit the contractor’s needs for performance and cost. This includes the selection of the processor, computer software, programming, control equipment, drives, relays, resistors, etc. which go into the final design. The overriding goal of the entire system is that the final product must be reliable and cost effective.

Reliability is insured by pre-adjusting at CJA’s factory and then completely testing the finished product prior to shipping. Cost effectiveness is realized by ease of installation, adjustment and maintenance after completion.

Since 1910
With the advent of computer logic into the elevator industry there have been a vast number of new companies promoting their control systems. Many of these new companies no longer exist. With C.J. Anderson Control Systems you have the assurance that technical assistance, wiring diagrams and replacement parts will be available for years to come. With CJA you enjoy the benefits of “today’s systems” coupled with years of proven reliability, and the confidence that we will be here in the future.

Fire Service Panels For Existing Installations
PLC logic, relay logic, or a combination of both is used to integrate the fire service panel into the present system. Depending on the type of control, manufacturer, and operating voltage all fire service panels can be designed to meet the local code where they are to be installed. Working from the controller wiring diagram the fire service panel is built for ease of connecting the two. Complete wiring diagrams are provided.

In addition to the fire service panels the car and hall fixtures necessary to make the system operable are available. A standard CJA fire service key switch is used for the car and hall fixtures. However, the customer?s switches can easily be substituted. Fire Fighters instructions, ?In Case of Fire....?, etc. will be engraved on the fixtures if requested.

In the process of designing the fire service panel, requirements which may not be in the present control system can be included at little or no additional cost.

Of particular note are ADA requirements such as passing buzzers, directional and arrival indicators and chimes. Buzzers, chimes, etc. can also be incorporated into the fire service fixtures. While installing fire service, the contractor can bring his customer?s elevator into ADA compliance.

The typical enclosure size of the fire service panel is 24? X 32? X 11?. The fire service panels and fixtures can be furnished in NEMA 1, 4, 4X, 12, 7 or 9 enclosures.
