IMPORTANT
Ensure that only an authorized Savaria Dealer installs and services the
Telecab17 Residential Elevator. Under no circumstances is anyone other than a

Refer to this manual for specifications, operating instructions and maintenance
of the Telecab17 Residential Elevator.

4. SAFETY FEATURES
Safety Underpan and Floor
Plug Sensors
The safety underpan (Figure 4) is
located under the Telecab17 platform.
The underpan has sensors that detect
any obstacles and stop the downward
travel of the lift.
The floor plug sensors (Figure 4) are
located on top of the Telecab17 and will
stop the upward travel of the elevator if
an obstacle that weighs more than 20 lb
(9.1 kg) is detected on the floor plug.
Door Lock and Open Door
Sensor
The WR-500 lock keeps the cab door locked when the Telecab17 is operating or
not at a landing.
The door open sensor prevents the Telecab17 from moving when the cab door
is open.
Emergency Door Opening
The cab door can be opened using the
emergency key provided (note that two
identical emergency keys are
provided).
To open the door in an emergency
situation, insert the key into the hole of
the WR-500 lock (Figure 5) and turn it.
Note that the key is for emergency use only and should be stored in a safe place.
After use of any emergency function (access key or manual lowering
device), ensure that all doors/gates are secure and locked. While the
emergency function is in use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.

Safety Brake
The safety brake stops the platform in the event of chain failure.
When the platform is in operation, the chain tension keeps the brake
mechanism up (Figure 6) so that the brake’s cam doesn’t interfere with the
tower track.
If a chain failure occurs, the brake mechanism comes down (Figure 6) and the
brake cam stops the platform.
Emergency Stop Button
Pressing the red Emergency Stop button
during travel will stop the elevator immediately
and activate the alarm. The Emergency Stop
overrides the landing stations (hall calls). Pull
the Emergency Stop out to return the elevator
to normal operation.
Alarm Button
Pressing the Alarm button during travel will
activate the alarm. If the door is locked at a
landing, you can press the Alarm button to
unlock the current landing door.

Manual Lowering and Battery Lowering System
If a power failure occurs, a battery lowering system will bring the Telecab17 to
the bottom level. If the battery fails while operating, there is also a remote
manual lowering device that you can use to lower the Telecab17 to the bottom
level.
For units with a 120V AC pump, the manual lowering box (Figure 7) is located
on the side of the Telecab17. Pull on the steel cable located inside the manual
lowering box to lower the Telecab17 to the bottom level.
For units with a 12V DC pump, there is a key switch located on the side of the
Telecab17. Insert the same key used for call/send control into the key switch
and turn it to the operating position. The cab will descend to the bottom level.
This mechanism is for emergency use only. After use of any emergency
function (access key or manual lowering device), ensure that all
doors/gates are secure and locked. While the emergency function is in
use, DO NOT leave the area unattended.
