Otis Emergency Evacuation Device C-DQ48VD – Built for the Moment Passengers Need It Most | Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts
Power outages, fires and building faults can leave an elevator stranded between floors with frightened passengers inside. The Otis C-DQ48VD battery-powered evacuation unit is engineered to solve that crisis in minutes. When mains supply is lost the device automatically activates, drives the motor at rescue speed (0.1–0.3 m/s), opens the brake and delivers the car to the nearest landing, allowing passengers to walk out safely. Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts keeps genuine C-DQ48VD kits on the shelf for immediate global shipment, helping contractors meet EN 81-20/50, ASME A17.1 and local fire-code obligations without delay.

How the system works (automatic sequence)
-
Mains failure is detected within 200 ms; cabinet beeps once to confirm board wake-up.
-
Controller checks door zone: if car is within ±150 mm of landing, brake opens and doors unlock immediately.
-
If car is between floors, brake lifts, inverter supplies 48 V at 15 Hz to motor, car creeps to nearest level.
-
When door zone sensor confirms arrival, brake re-applies, doors open, internal emergency light stays on.
-
After 10 min of inactivity the system shuts down to preserve battery, keeping only the HMI alive for diagnostics.
-
Once mains is restored the charger resumes, topping batteries to 100 % in < 8 h and clearing the evacuation fault.
Manual operation for service technicians
-
Insert key, open cabinet, press “MANUAL” soft-button.
-
Use ▲ ▼ arrows to jog car at 0.1 m/s; release button and brake sets instantly.
-
HMI displays real-time battery voltage, current and estimated run time—useful when multiple trips are required during commissioning.
Installation method (cabinet mounted beside controller)
-
De-energise main supply; lock-out/tag-out breaker.
-
Fix cabinet to wall with four M10 expansion anchors; minimum 100 mm clearance top and bottom for ventilation.
-
Run 16 mm² supply cables from controller isolation contactor to terminals L+/L− inside cabinet; fit Otis-supplied ferrite bead to reduce EMI.
-
Connect brake wires to B+/B−, motor wires to U/V/W through the provided grommets; torque to 2 Nm.
-
Plug battery tray; green “READY” LED must illuminate within 5 s.
-
Close door, switch on mains, verify charger voltage 54.6 V ± 0.3 V on HMI.
-
Initiate functional test: press and hold “TEST” for 3 s; car should move to nearest floor and open doors on battery power alone.
-
Record test date, battery internal resistance and technician signature in the logbook.
Replacement cycle & battery maintenance
Although the C-DQ48VD hardware is designed for a 15-year service life, the AGM batteries are consumables. Follow Otis guideline TSG-21-001 and local code:
-
Visual inspection every 6 months: look for case bulging, terminal corrosion or electrolyte odour.
-
Automatic impedance test every 24 h; replace battery set if impedance > 18 mΩ per 12 V block or if capacity < 70 % of nominal.
-
Calendar replacement every 5 years regardless of cycle count—high shaft temperatures accelerate sulphation.
-
Full load test annually: disconnect mains, allow car to run evacuation cycle twice; battery must maintain > 46 V under 20 A load.
-
Replace entire battery tray (Otis part 71386845) rather than individual cells to maintain factory balance and warranty.
Other replacement triggers
-
HMI displays “Brake transistor fault” or “Contactor welded” – replace power board immediately.
-
Cabinet fan seized – swap 24 V DC fan (80 mm) to prevent thermal ageing of IGBTs.
-
Terminal block carbonised after lightning strike – inspect and replace cabinet if any trace of arcing.
Maintenance tips from Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts
-
Never mix old and new batteries; unmatched impedance causes early failure.
-
Keep cabinet key in the machine-room lock-box—technicians can’t help passengers if they can’t open the door.
-
After any battery replacement, run the full automatic test twice and clear the “Battery low” fault from the controller.
-
Log all tests digitally; our free QR-code sticker links to a cloud form that time-stamps every entry for auditors.
-
Stock a spare C-DQ48VD power board (part 71386844) on high-traffic sites; at 0.8 kg it eliminates 24-hour waits.
