Help prevent flood damage and avoid costly repairs caused by heavy rainfall from hurricanes or tropical storms, storm surges, river overflows, melting snow and ice, or burst pipes

The A100-PFD continuously monitors for water in the pit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If 1 inch of water is detected, the PFD is triggered, moving the elevator and its passengers to a safe, pre-determined floor.

When water is detected, the PFD moves the car and its passengers to a safe floor above the floodplain and opens the doors so they can exit. It then disables the elevator, preventing additional passengers from using the elevator until it is manually reset.

Once water is detected, the PFD moves the car above the floodplain, preventing damage and avoiding costly repairs. After the water has receded, having sustained no damage, the elevator can be quickly restored to service by a mechanic.

Elevator pit flooding occurs due to rapid heavy rainfall, hurricanes, cyclones, tropical storms, storm surges, river overflows, melting snow or ice, and pipe bursts or other equipment failures. Prevent costly flood damage, enhance passenger safety, and maximize elevator uptime with the A100-PFD pit flood protector and A100-PFS pit flood sensor.

This intelligent protector and float sensor combination automatically identifies liquid in the pit, moves the elevator to a pre-determined floor above the floodplain, and enables passengers to exit safely. The elevator is then disabled, ensuring that both the cab and counterweight do not descend below the floodplain until a qualified mechanic resets the device.
