When you open the gate, the safety circuit disconnects and the lift stops. That's why you have to close the gate before the lift will move. If you open the gate while the lift is moving, it counts as an unauthorised opening and the lift stops or goes out of service, it went out of service in this case. It goes out of service to prevent unauthorised lift surfing. An authorised opening is when the doors open while the lift is inactive at a floor. The reason why the lift engineer asked you to close the gate was to connect the safety circuit and allow the lift to be manually moved using inspection mode, aka lift surfing.
I hate it when it happens. I would never get stuck in the elevators in Moscow, Russia. In London, UK. I got stuck twice for few seconds, the street elevator at North Greenwich Underground Station and the express elevator at an apartment building.
5:11 Yes , this is the result if you do so. They have warned you. A wonder that the company did not charge you for that rescue. When the elevator is modernized, often they have simpler logic. Means when the elevator arrived close to the destination floor and starts levelling, its a small underprogramm that says " start levelling for (lets say)5 seconds, open interlockcurve ( in german riegelkurve... a metall c shaped device ,motor or magnetic powered, that presses against the roll at the doorlock to release mechanical the door and interlockswitch), then activate magnet/motor to release the door, reset/ go back to next call and wait for doors closed... But if this program gets interrupted due too early opening the inner door the logic blocks for safety. The lift needs to be closed and resetted manually, that the logic thinks the cabin is correct. Then just place any different call. This happens when old elevators get renewed the easiest way, without adding a led tapemeasure( this tape or wheel from plastic with black lines or metall with holes with a infrared lightbarrierfork ( that the logic knows the absolute position of the cabin in the shaft), because the old shaft/ machine whatever may not support this new technique due space... or the owner just didnt want to pay a complete change of the system andvthey added just the necessary parts to meet code. But however if you use unasked someones elevator, follow the attached rules and do not always try to bring the logic to the limit by opening doors or pressing the EMERGENCY-Stop and expect that the lift will always restart after emergency halt without confirming of owner or company that the elevator is in a safe state to go back in use.
OMG! Seeing this makes me so sad! When I was visiting Stockholm last year I found this beautiful treasure by chance (I got an HD upload in my channel). I was so excited about the beauty of this lift. So small and it ran beautifully! Why didn't they just put in photocells? Everything would have been better than this stupid gate. And those generic beeping buttons... horrible!
If that had a reset button if that happens it would fix the elevator and make it relevel at the nearest floor, or make the elevator reset when the doors open so when it closes that it will relevel
+Kone Minispace (I cannot answer your comment. Check your settnings) Overseas? as Europe mainland? (Sweden in this case). well, the fewer the better. :p THeese elevators should ahve kept original as back in 2010 when I first encountered them...
what a fucking piece of shit. this is how generic companys make more money, on Newlift controllers (most common generic logic in germany) you can set the safety circuit time out. usually it is set to like 10 minutes, some generic companies near me set it to 1 second meaning people will get trapped and the lift breaks down on a simple safety break. when i saw that in the motor room i changed the timeout to a couple of mins higher.
