Elevator Light Curtain E1018/T & E1018/TKC – Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts
The elevator light curtain serves as an “invisible protective shield” for elevator door systems, critical for preventing pinch injuries during door closing. It forms an infrared light grid between the door panels; when obstacles block the light, the system immediately signals the controller to stop or reverse the doors, safeguarding passengers and goods. The Elevator Light Curtain E1018/T and E1018/TKC series launched by Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts are high-performance safety devices tailored for mainstream elevator systems, widely compatible with renowned brands such as Schindler, OTIS, KONE, and Toshiba. Suitable for both passenger and freight elevators, these light curtains adopt advanced infrared sensing technology with dense light beam distribution, ensuring high detection accuracy and rapid response. Strictly complying with international elevator safety standards (EN 81-20, GB 7588), they have become a trusted choice for global elevator maintenance teams and manufacturers.
Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts adheres to the “quality first, safety-oriented” principle, implementing strict quality control throughout the production process of the E1018/T and E1018/TKC elevator light curtains. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing, including detection range verification, response time assessment, durability testing, and anti-interference performance inspection. Equipped with high-sensitivity infrared transmitting and receiving tubes, these light curtains maintain stable operation even under harsh conditions such as strong light, dust, and high humidity. The fully sealed metal shell with IP54 protection effectively prevents dust and water vapor intrusion, while the operating temperature range of -10℃ to 60℃ adapts to various elevator shaft environments. Both models feature a built-in self-diagnosis function that promptly detects faults and triggers alarms, facilitating quick maintenance. The E1018/TKC, as an upgraded version, offers enhanced anti-interference capability for complex electrical environments.
Usage Guide for Elevator Light Curtain E1018/T & E1018/TKC
Correct installation, wiring, and debugging of the E1018/T and E1018/TKC light curtains are vital to ensuring elevator door safety. Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts strongly recommends that only certified elevator maintenance technicians perform these operations—improper alignment or wiring may cause light curtain failure, leading to potential pinch hazards. Before operation, carefully read the product manual provided by Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts and confirm the model matches the elevator door system parameters.
1. Pre-Installation Preparation
First, confirm that the E1018/T or E1018/TKC matches the elevator’s door width, installation height, and interface type. Consult Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts’ technical team immediately if compatibility is in doubt. Then, cut off the elevator’s main power supply and door system power, lock the switch, and place a “Maintenance in Progress” warning sign at the elevator entrance. Secure the elevator car at a flat floor and block the doors to prevent accidental closing. Prepare professional tools: screwdriver, wrench, level ruler, multimeter, and anti-static gloves. Clean the installation area (car door and landing door frames) to remove dust, debris, and oil stains, and ensure the mounting surface is flat and undamaged.
2. Installation, Wiring & Debugging
Install the transmitting and receiving ends of the E1018/T or E1018/TKC on the car door and landing door frames respectively, ensuring accurate alignment (deviation ≤5mm) and the light grid is parallel to the door panels. Fix firmly with screws per Nanjing Zhuye’s torque specifications to avoid displacement from door vibration. Wire strictly per the diagram: Connect power and signal lines to the corresponding terminals of the door controller. Ensure the signal line’s shielding layer is reliably grounded at the controller end to avoid electromagnetic interference, and keep signal lines at least 30mm away from power lines. Restore the terminal cover before powering on. For debugging: Conduct no-load power-on to check indicator lights (green for normal, red for faults). Use a thin object to block light beams at different positions—the doors should stop or reverse immediately. Test the self-diagnosis function by disconnecting one signal line; the controller should report an alarm promptly. Run multiple door opening/closing cycles to confirm synchronous and stable operation between the light curtain and door system.
3. Daily Use & Maintenance
Per the “Elevator Maintenance Rules” (TSG T5002-2017) and Nanjing Zhuye’s recommendations, inspect the E1018/T and E1018/TKC monthly and conduct annual professional comprehensive testing. For daily maintenance: Power off before inspection; clean the transmitter/receiver surfaces with a dry cloth or lens paper to remove dust, fingerprints, and oil stains (avoid water or chemical cleaners). Quarterly check and retighten fixing screws to prevent misalignment. Inspect signal lines for wear, aging, or loose connections—replace damaged lines immediately and ensure the shielding layer is intact. Regularly test the light curtain function; if doors fail to respond to obstacles or frequent faults occur, prioritize checking for misalignment, dirty lenses, or interference. Contact Nanjing Zhuye’s after-sales team promptly for troubleshooting if malfunctions persist, as faulty light curtains pose serious safety risks.
Replacement Cycle of Elevator Light Curtain E1018/T & E1018/TKC
The replacement cycle of E1018/T and E1018/TKC light curtains depends on operating frequency, environment, and component aging. Under normal conditions (12-24 hours daily operation, ≥500 door cycles/day, dry and clean environment), Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts recommends a 4-6 year replacement cycle. This is based on long-term field data and reliability tests, accounting for infrared component wear, signal attenuation, and shell/wire aging.
For high-traffic areas (malls, airports with ≥1000 door cycles/day) or harsh environments (high humidity, heavy dust, strong light interference, frequent vibration), shorten the cycle to 2-4 years. High frequency accelerates infrared tube aging, while harsh conditions cause lens contamination and wiring corrosion. For low-usage elevators (villa, small offices with <8 hours daily operation) in stable environments, extend to 6-8 years—only after Nanjing Zhuye technicians confirm detection accuracy, response speed, and anti-interference ability meet safety standards.
Replace immediately regardless of service life if: Frequent false alarms or failure to detect obstacles (posing pinch risks); severe shell damage (cracks, deformation) affecting sealing; unstable signal from aging internal components; failure to pass annual safety tests; persistent unresolved faults (e.g., continuous self-diagnosis alarms, unresponsive to obstacles). Timely replacement is critical to avoiding safety accidents, as faulty light curtains are a major cause of elevator-related injuries.
The E1018/T and E1018/TKC Elevator Light Curtains from Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts integrate reliability, precision, and compatibility, providing critical safety guarantees for elevator door systems. Following correct usage, maintenance, and replacement guidelines minimizes faults and enhances elevator safety.
