1. Description and Principle of Operation
All of the safety gears (PRO2000, PRO2000S, PRO5000) are Bi-Directional and
Progressive .
The Safety Gear consists of:
Mechanism (the part which is connecting the block of safety gear to the cabin) Figure 1
(it may not be included), the block of the safety gear Figure 2, the set of pads Figure 3
(
for
7
safety gear PRO2000-A – one set of pads, for safety gear PRO2000-B and PRO5000 – two
sets of pads), roller Figure 4, the lever of activation Figure 5, interrupter switch Figure 6
,
the square of the synchronizer Figure 7, mounting plate Figure 8, mounting plate with for
centralizing Figure 9, screw (М8х50) Figure 10, nut М8 Figure 11, spring Figure 12 , the
support ring Figure 13 – 4 pcs, mounting bolts Figure 14 – 4 pcs (М12х45-PRO2000-A/B,
M14x45-PRO5000), the control lever of the roller Figure 15, levers Figure 16, spring
Figure 17, shim Figure 18
While moving of the elevator cabin down or up and activation of over speed governor
(OG), the rope which is attached to the lever (Figure 5) stops. Therefore the lever ( Figure
5) raises the lever (Figure 15), which in turn raises the lever (Figure 4) in the groove of the
safety gear block (Figure 3). At primary stage the lever (Figure 4) moving up according the
figure groove of the safety gear block (Figure 2), “chooses” the clearance to guide rail. At
secondary stage, being in the contact with guide rail, the lever (Figure 4) continues its
moving in the groove of safety gear block (Figure 2). Therefore the safety gear block
(
Figure 2) starts moving in the grooves of the safety gear (Figure 1) and selects the
clearance between the set of pads (Figure 3) and the rail guide. At the third stage, when
the pads ( Figure 3) make contact with guide, starts the braking process. The rail guide is
placed between the pads (Figure 3) and the lever (Figure 4). The required braking force
and the deceleration speed is ensured as due to the unique shape of the pad, as the copper
insert, which is located in the upper part of the groove of the safety gear block (Figure 2 ).
When the roller (Figure 4) is in the up position (there is a yellow copper part inside the
block) the copper part does not allow the roller to jam, and provides a roll which creates a
constant force pressure of the roller to the rail guide.
Synchronization of two safety gears is ensured by the fact, that the lever (Figure 15 ) is
connected to the square of the synchronizer (Figure 7). At the moment when the lever
(
Figure 15) rises, it turns and square synchronizer (Figure 7), which passes through the
synchronizer rotational movement of the second safety gear. There is a lug with the groove
on the tube of the synchronizer, which includes a roller switch (Figure 6). When the tube of
the synchronizer is rotated, it presses the roller switch and it starts working.
During operation of the safety gears the square synchronizer (Figure 7) spread the
levers (Figure 16), which are connected by a spring (Figure 17). At the moment removing
of the cabin from the safety gears the spring (Figure 17) tightens the levers (Figure 16) .
These springs, act on the square of the synchronizer (Figure 7) and return it to its original
position. The roller switch (Figure 6) is in the groove on the lug and the synchronizer
returns the switch to its original position.
. The Installation of Safety Gear

2
Please, before the installation verify that the safety gear meets the required source data:
The speed, P+Q, the width of the rail guide and the type of the rail guide. The working
surfaces of the rail guides should be free of dirt.
The installation of the safety gear in case when it is supplied without mechanism (
Figure1. )
8
1.Fix the block of the safety gear to existing housing by means of 4 bolts (Figure 14)
М12х45 (PRO2000-A/B), or by means of 4 bolts (Figure 14) М14х45 (PRO5000). Therefore it is
necessary to insert 4 rings (Figure13) in the grooves of the safety gear. It is necessary to fix the
block of the safety gear to the corps by means of mounting plates (Figure 8 and 9). If necessary,
between the corps and mounting plates (Figure 8 and 9) can be installed the shim (Figure 18 ).
These shims are used in order to avoid the clamping of the safety gear block (Figure 2 ) by
means of mounting plates (Figure 8 and 9), and to allow the safety gear block to move freely in
the grooves of the safety gear.
Attention!!! The mounting plate with focus (Figure 9) should be placed on the opposite
side of the synchronizer.
2. Fix the spring (Figure 12) to the mounting plate (Figure 9) by means of bolt М8х50
(Figure 10), nut М8 (Figure 11).
Attention!!! After tightening the bolts (Figure 14) the safety gear block in assembly
(
Figure 2
) should freely move in the grooves on the corps (Figure 1). The bolt with spring
(
Figure 10and 12) needs to be set straight.
1.The block of safety gear will be shifted according to the grooves on the corps in the
direction of the spring compression until it stops, If the force is removed the safety gear
block (Figure 2) should return to its original position under the action of the spring (
Figure
12).
2. To install the safety gear corps in assembly with block to the elevator and to fix
according to the technical documentation.
3. To put the safety gear on the Elevator according to the guide, observe the following
recommendations:
9
- The clearance from the end face of the rail guide until the surface A on the safety gear
should be 5-7 mm.
- The clearance from the pads of the safety gear until the rail guide should be 1,5 mm .
- It is not allowed to skew the safety gear relative to the rail guide.
The surface А on the safety gear must be strictly parallel to the end face of the rail
guide.
The surfaces B and C on the safety gear must be strictly parallel to the side surfaces of
the railguide
4. The safety gears should be connected by means of synchronizer. In place of mounting
the synchronizer to the safety gear there must not be the any gap. The synchronization
of 2 safety gears will be better, if their connection will be as rigid as possible.

in case when it is produced withthe
block (Figure 1).
Attention!!! It is necessary to make sure that the safety gear block (Figure 2) freely
moves in the grooves on the corps (Figure 1). The block of safety gear will be shifted
according to the grooves on the corps in the direction of the spring compression until it
stops, If the force is removed the safety gear block (Figure 2) should return to its original
position under the action of the spring (Figure 12).

according to the trails on the rail guides.
Check the breaking distance according to the trails on the rail guides. It should be at
least 40 mm for an empty cabin.
The possible removing of the cabin because of the counterweight skip is not the spoilage
of the safety gear.
Check the shape of the safety gears with a view to find any damage or deformation.
3.2 Testing on full load during the driving down

3.2.1
Place in the cabin the load which will be equal of 1,25 from the capacity of the
elevator. The load should be placed evenly throughout the cabin.
3.2.2Start up the cabin at the nominal speed.
3.2.3 Activate the over speed governor. In this case the cabin should settle on the safety
gears.
3.2.4 To check the reliability of the landing of the cabin on safety gears, unlock the brake
on/off input device and to reduce the rope of the over speed governor. The cabin must not
“crawl” down.
3.2.5 Lift the cabin and check the simultaneity of the actuation of the safety gears
Check the breaking distance according to the trails on the rail guides. It should be at least
60 mm for a full cabin.
The possible removing of the cabin because of the counterweight skip is not the spoilage
of the safety gear.
3.3 Testing on full load during the driving up

3.3.1 Place in the cabin the load which will be equal of 1,25 from the capacity of the
elevator. The load should be placed evenly throughout the cabin.
3.3.2Start up the cabin at the nominal speed.
3.3.3 Activate the over speed governor. In this case the cabin should settle on the safety
gears in this case
3.3.4 Remove the cabin and check the simultaneity of the actuation of the safety gears
After every testing ,the rail guides should be cleaned from burrs and roughs which could
appear in the process of the safety gears work.
If the damages and deformations were not found after all the tests, the safety gears are
ready for working.
4. The determination of the direction of the safety gears actuation.
In neutral working position the lever (Figure 15) is placed in the horizontal direction
12
The lever position while the activation of The lever position while the activation of
the safety gear during the cabin driving the safety gear during the cabin driving
down up
The maximum step of the activation lever of the safety gears in the vertical direction from
the neutral position while actuation of the safety gear is 14 mm.
Sometimes the elevator cabin can make a spontaneous landing on the safety gears. In
such cases it is impossible to know, when moving up or down the cabin landed on safety
gears. In order to determine the direction of the motion, when the safety gears were
activated, you must perform the following recommendations:
1. Make a mark with paint on the branch of the over speed governor rope in the upper
beams of the elevator frame (which is connected with the lever).
2. Also make one more mark on the elevator frame at the opposite to this mark
13
It is recommended to choose the area that will be viewable on the shaft door aperture for
making marks.
With regard to the marks displacement from each other it is possible to determine the
direction of the cabin during safety gears activation
If the mark which has been painted on the over speed governor rope, is placed up in
comprising with the mark which has been painted on the frame, the cabin was moving down
in the moment of safety gears activation.
If the mark which has been painted on the over speed governor rope, is placed down in
comprising with the mark which has been painted on the frame, the cabin was moving up in
the moment of safety gears activation.
5. Maintenance, Control, Repair
It is necessary to make sure that there are no damages and deformations on the
safety gears after each of their activation and subsequent cabin removal.
Further operation of the safety gears is prohibited when:

- There are damages or deformations on the safety gears parts.
-There is a clearance in the mechanism of synchronization which leads to
non-simultaneous actuation of the right and left safety gears
- If there is a vertically clearance more than 1mm between safety gear block (Figure 2 )
and the safety gear corps (Figure 1). The presence of this clearance may indicate the rings
deformation or destruction (Figure 13).
- There is a skew of the safety gear block in comprising to rail guide.
In order to ensure the security and efficiency of safety gears, it is necessary to conduct
the routine maintenance in accordance with this user manual.
