Central Unit (TLCU22-04)
The automatic restart system (WBS) consists of transmitter and receiver modules. The signals are controlled and evaluated by the central unit, which is connected to the transmitter and receiver chains via adapter cables. One central unit of the automatic restart system supports up to 99 modules per escalator side. On longer moving walks, two light curtains (WBS) are used accordingly.
Part of the automatic restart system (WBS)
The light curtain is part of the automatic restart system (WBS) for escalators and moving walks: transmitter and receiver modules monitor the presence of persons on the unit in accordance with EN 115 and automatically release the escalator again after an emergency stop. The signals are evaluated by the central unit. The D-Version is designed for escalators from Otis and Kone, the E-Version for ThyssenKrupp and Schindler.
Areas of application
Field of use
The TLCU22-04 central unit evaluates the automatic restart system. It is compatible with all light curtain versions from RLS Wacon and RUDOLPH and is connected to the transmitter and receiver chains via adapter cables.
Operating principle
The light curtain uses up to 99 light barriers to create a vertical safety light grid across the escalator. Each light barrier consists of a transmitter module and a receiver module; if a person interrupts a light beam, the TLCU central unit detects the occupancy and withholds the release. The system works independently of ambient light and is self-monitoring and self-configuring according to EN 115:2008 (Cat. 4 / SIL 3).
Connection
- Mount the central unit in a suitable location.
- Connect the transmitter and receiver chains via the matching adapter cables.
- Switch on the system – the status is displayed and output on the central unit.
Tip for service work
With the external service display (art. no. 80-200231), the status of the central unit can be read conveniently directly at the escalator during service work – it can be positioned optimally via a 4 m cable that can be extended up to 20 m.
Important notes
- Compatible with all WBS from RLS Wacon and RUDOLPH.
- Connect only when de-energised and only by trained personnel.
