Elevator Safety Featured Added

Schindler Elevator just concluded installing and testing the power failure rescue feature.
This feature will prevent entrapment during a power outage.

***
During 2016, we experienced six power outages each lasting 30–90 minutes.
If you recall, last June at 700 Cattail Cove, a resident was trapped in the elevator for 45 minutes.
At 900 Marshy Cove, a resident, missed being trapped by 30 seconds.

How the rescue feature works,
Upon a power failure, the controls switch to battery power.
Next, the hydraulic valve is energized to allow gravity to bring the elevator safely to the lobby level.

Upon reaching the lobby, the door open and stays open until power is restored.
