| A safety standard, not a headache

Unintended Car Movement Protection (UCMP) is a non-negotiable safety component designed to prevent unexpected movement. However, anyone who has had to assemble a lift knows the reality: testing safety systems is often a tedious and sometimes risky process.

As Povilas noted: “The main idea is to take care of those like us – the installers and the maintenance technicians, who are constantly giving their attention to every detail to keep the movement going.” This is why we integrated a dedicated UCM-Testing Operation into our controller’s “Testing-Assistant” suite.

| What problems does the ‘UCM-Testing Operation’ solve?

By drawing on our background as installers, we have focused on features that streamline the work of maintenance teams, saving both time and costs:

| Safe simulation: Our smart controller allows for the safe simulation of an Unintended Car Movement event. This removes the need for installers to manually tamper with the safety circuit.

| Precision and compliance: The HS Model features a linear encoder that ensures precise monitoring of elevator position and speed. This allows the UCMP test to be performed with millimetre-level accuracy.

| Remote insight: according to Povilas, “The ability to see the cabin’s position and status remotely makes a night-and-day difference for our maintenance technicians, enabling them to take proactive measures to ensure smooth operation and a long lifespan for the lift.” This remote troubleshooting capability significantly reduces the need for on-site maintenance.
