Elevator relays are dependable devises that consist of electromagnets that open and close contacts which routes the logic to circuits. A basic elevator with only a few stops and manual operation of elevator door is perfectly served by relay controllers. Complex elevators can use relays too and they were until 1980. Although, the sheer number of elevator relays needed make it harder to troubleshoot relay problems if they ever arise. We provide elevator controller repair and elevator relay repair in Tempe, AZ and the rest of the Phoenix Valley.
Relay Elevator Controller
Relay controllers consist of electromagnets that open and close dry contacts, and routes the logic to other circuits. Relay controllers are best suited for elevators that only have a few stops and use manual door operation. Although, relays can also be used for complex eleavtors, and they were until the 1980’s/ However, the sheer number of relays that are required for newer elevators make it a problem to troubleshoot in the midst of a problem.
Relay Elevator Controller Applications

What Is An Elevator Controller
An elevator controller is a electronic device that manages visual monitoring, traffic analysis system and interactive command control to make sure your elevators are functioning properly.
The main function of elevator controllers are to receive/process signals from a variety of elevator components. It’s able to send response signals to signals it receives in order for operation of other parts in the system. This exchanging of signals is how elevator controllers keep the elevator running efficiently day in-day out.
How Elevator Controllers Interact With Other Components
- Control the speed of the elevator engine to move cabs up and down their shafts
- Queue and process elevator floor requests provided by passengers through button pressing signals
- Processes the information sent to the controller by load sensors to make sure the cab doesn’t exceed the safety weight limit
- Process position marking information to always know where the elevator cabs are as well as the speed they are traveling at
- Provides lit feedback to elevator passengers through button lights, floor number displays and direction displays
- Can set off alarm bells invoked by passengers or excess load signals
- Controls the door opening device for operation of elevator doors
