This one is a little tricky because we haven't seen it fault for us like the customer is describing. Elevator is staying at floor with the doors open, hopefully I'll have fix soon. Cheers
Interesting comment about march 2,I’m an elevator mechanic 10 years now and I would say I’m the best too since I have the same birthday!! Keep up the good work ,I’m jealous that I don’t have a helper that’s unheard down here now ,
That blue box is for the light curtains, made by CEDES. They do not have timers, it’s just an open and close signal that changes state when the beam is broke. Your issue with the doors staying open when no calls are latches is a parameter setting. You can change the parameters in the controller for door times etc. If it sits at the floor with the doors open (no calls latched), more than likely it’s a parking parameter set to park with the doors open. Your intermitting doors fault could be a DTO or DTC (door time open, door time close). If all the contacts in the door operator don’t make up when they should (fully open or fully closed) it will eventually fault out the car. Did you check the controller faults? Also you can check the cords for the light curtain to make sure they were routed correctly and not pinched/damage. If you take that blue cover off you can turn on the buzzer switch (good for troubleshooting) so it will sound if the beam is broken (something in the way or broken wires). You should have a solid green light on that board if there are no issues, you will have an amber light appear when the beam is broken (object in the door way or damaged wires)
those lamda 3d laser eyes on the door always caused problems with the doors saying open and timing out. had to disable that feature all the time miss those old otis cop's good times
Now i didn’t know that make UTC ( Otis ) made that type of operator mind you I’ve been retired for sometime, and by the way September is the best time for lift engineers😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧
I think the same thing. I think the GAL MOVFR II is a drop in replacement and I think the MOD to MOVFR II conversion kit might retrofit it so the existing gears, arms and baseplate can be reused.

Thanks for watching, my birthday is in April so not sure what that means. It is nice having a second guy.
That blue box looks like a cedes controller for "lightbarriers"

Great comment, thanks for the info.
@@MQElevatorsstill doesn’t rule out a bad door op board.
Why is there a "Do not step" sticker on the step? 😅
Easly blow out the holder get rid if the carbon dust buildup
Or if u hsve s mini vacuum suck the dust out
Unitec has a linear swap. Not a bad idea unless you want to rebuild. check the gate keeper for the led, also they buzz weird when starting to fail.

I think it's time to replace this QL operator with a nice new GAL MOVFR II or MONxT
ya ya ...March was a good month ! sounds like a crowd waiting for the elevator , Stand boys ! national anthem
Now i didn’t know that make UTC ( Otis ) made that type of operator mind you I’ve been retired for sometime, and by the way September is the best time for lift engineers😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧
April has to be up there
Yes one of my son is April ps i was with some of my old Otis team mates on Friday told them about you i said you are a must watch
I wonder if the QL operators were actually made by GAL specifically for United Technologies/Otis. They're made a lot like the GAL MOD model.

Looks like opti-guard safe edge
