We will supply layout drawings after the customer approves the details of their elevator. Use the drawings to apply for the required permits. All permits are your responsibility. We will give support as needed.

Elevator contractors should check for all the components needed for set-up on the provided checklist and notify the Phoenix Team immediately if anything is missing. It is crucial that you inspect each arriving component of the elevator. There is a packing list that comes with every elevator, and it is your responsibility to make sure everything has arrived as promised. If something is missing, report it immediately to the Phoenix Team onsite. If the Phoenix Team is not available, contact our project coordinator immediately. Most components are strapped in the area where they are needed. In the part of the hoistway that goes into the pit, you will find buffer springs strapped to the rails. Others will be on the car top, in the machine room or palletized.

The truck will arrive with:

• The modular elevator hoistway with a pre-installed elevator. If a taller hoistway is part of the project, multiple towers will arrive as scheduled.
• The modular machine room (if ordered) or a pallet with the tank and controller strapped to it

The rest of the “shipped separately” components strapped inside the hoistway closest to point of use. Unload the modular machine room first (if supplied) and set it off to the side. Rig the hoistway, lift it off the truck and allow the truck to drive away. Remove the shipping brackets from the bottom of the hoistway (Phillips head screws), upright the elevator, and lower it into the pit.

Crane Information

The hoistway structure is built perfectly square, and the rails are aligned and welded in place. Cast-in-place anchor bolts in the pit are used to secure the hoistway. The hoistway “legs” are 1” shorter than the pit is deep to allow for leveling the hoistway inside an imperfect pit. Once leveled, elevator contractors should use non-shrink grout under the base plates to support them permanently.

Setting the Hoistway

A slab is provided by the GC for a modular machine room. You need to center the machine room on the slab and attach it with GC-supplied epoxy anchors. If there is a site-built machine room, mount the power unit and controller in the room and wire them together and to the disconnects.

Pipe the jacks to the power unit as with any other hydraulic elevator. You supply the piping and fittings per code as well as pipe stands and anchorage unless the customer has ordered a pre-cut piping package. If there is a modular machine room, we optionally supply a pre-cut piping/fittings package. One piece of pipe is left long and ungrooved so that you can cut it to a precise length. If the machine room is remote from the hoistway, coordinate in advance with the GC on how the piping and cable will be routed. Plan for underground raceways to be set before the pit is poured, and make sure nothing extends past the inside of the pit wall until after the tower is set.

Option A: Near the bottom of the hoistway, you will find the travel cable and hoistway cable coiled up. Unwrap both cables and feed them to the desired exit point, through the raceway to the machine room.

Option B: The traveling cable and hoistway cable are terminated in a junction box at the bottom of the hoistway, and extra lengths of cable are supplied. Cut the cables to the precise length you need and wire them between the terminal box and the controller.

With a modular machine room, all gutter connections are precut and supplied. With a site-built machine room, you supply the gutter and conduit from the hoistway to the controller, controller to power unit, and controller to disconnects.

MMR Piping and Wiring

Hydraulic – Ensure jacks are plumb and secured, and fill the tank with oil supplied by you. Sequentially remove shipping brackets, power up the elevator and lift the car. Check for leaks, remove the final shipping brackets, and lower the car. Inspect the jacks thoroughly and replace the packing on the jack. Extra packing is provided!!! Failure to replace the packing will result in a voided jack warranty making you responsible for any additional costs incurred.

Start Up Information

Perform all normal tests and adjustments as with any other newly installed elevator.

• Run on inspection
• Install selector tape
• Adjust doors
• Run on automatic
• Adjust valve
• Connect and test smoke detector and fire alarm
• Connect and test phone line

The elevator has not been powered up in the factory, so full testing and adjusting must be performed in the field. This includes doors, which are installed horizontally in the factory and thus cannot be fully adjusted until they are vertical. Instructions on all equipment, as well as wiring diagrams, are contained in the Project Manual that ships with the elevator.

Place ceiling panels and lights in car. Light bulbs and guards in pit and cartop. Give GC a punch list of any outstanding items that must be complete prior to inspection.

Schedule and perform inspection. Turn elevator over to customer. Arrange for ongoing maintenance to preserve the warranty.
