Modernization Journey - Week 5

Elevator Modernization
Written By Sean McMannis

That’s a wrap on Week 5. If you missed our previous weeks or just want a refresher, you can catch them here:

As you’ll recall, the plan was to do some wiring. And that’s exactly what Jon and Zach did. They wired in the controller, car top (door operator, car top box), hall fixtures and car operating panel.

New GAL MOVFR II Door Operator

New Car Top Box by Elevator Controls

New car operating panel (COP) by MAD Elevator

New hall fixtures. This main hall station includes Phase I Fire Service key switch and indicator and an Elevator Communications Failure indicator and key switch. These are required by ASME A17.1-2019 (Current code in Seattle).

New Elevator Controls Pixel controller. Includes Siemens solid-state starter on the bottom-left.

At the end of the week, the car was running on “Inspection Mode”. Next week, the elevator should be running on “Automatic”. Check back to see how they do.

There is nothing that Sean enjoys more than helping a customer solve an elevator issue. Since 2008, he has witnessed a deterioration in the services provided throughout the industry. Sean prides himself on being responsive and honest. He takes the time to educate elevator owners and help them understand their options. After spending time at various elevator companies, Sean joined Washington Elevator because he believes building owners and managers crave a company focused on people, not profits.

With more than 15 years of elevator experience, Sean’s goal is to proactively address all elevator issues so that you can focus on your business.

When Sean isn’t helping customers, you can find him playing on the soccer field, cheering on the Sounders and enjoying activities with his wife and their two young kids.
