DIFFERENTIATION OF THE CONTROLLER

SUBMERSIBLE HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT
It’s a term for the old-style power units, which are call “dry-mount.” The oil rests above the components in a dry-mount power unit, which has everything except the pump motor and the valve on the bottom of the tank. A lot of opportunity for error is afford by this. These are not only obnoxiously loud, but they allow oil to flow from the parts and contaminate the machine room floor. Submersible power units (SPUs) are increasingly standard equipment for upgrading projects. All of these components are submerge in oil as a result of this. Because they are so much quieter, and because oil leaks from any of their components, a complete machine room catastrophe is avoid.
FIXTURES/COPS THAT COMPLY WITH THE NEW CODE
The 2019 Elevator Company code will be completely implement in Colorado by January 1, 2022. All COPs (Control Operating Panels) inside the Elevator Company are equip with video surveillance as part of this code. The COP is where all of the emergency buttons, fire alarms, and other safety features are located. Video surveillance is becoming a need.

When no one responds to the old method, all Elevator Company contractors are obligate to respond. Over the course of a long period of time, the most expensive calls from all providers tend to be made. As a result of this new monitoring capability, the tech will no longer be need at the site to ensure that no one is imprison or hurt, which will save the customer money.
