Code cracked, entry gained to a CLASSIC SCHINDLER relay motor room

Remember this place? I've been here before and I really wanted to explore this motor room, but failed.
I'm back and this time I'm in, and up the ladder - WHAT A CLASSIC! Yep, the lift is an original TOTALLY RELAY LOGIC controller, with the Schindler selector wheel which is quite fascinating to watch.
HERE IS THE LINK FOR PART 2:
• The SCHINDLER WHEEL SE...
Now let me explain...
I AM AN ENGINEER. This means I understand the technology in use here and (as you'll see in the next video) I understand some of the relay logic that makes it work. I understand how the call buttons work - it's a latching relay circuit. If you search my channel then you will find this video (it's one of my most popular videos):
• The easiest LATCHING R...
Here I explain how a latching relay works. On this lift, the relay coil is normally energised by pressing the call buttons in the lift car, then the electromagnet holds the relay on via some of the relay contacts (i.e. a latching relay).
I'm not out of my comfort zone as I understand what I am doing and I've done it many times before (even with a lift engineer present!).
I'm not in this motor room to cause any problems or faults, it's simply an interest that others also find interesting.
When these lifts are finally modernised, away goes the history, lost forever. No-one cares ;'( and there are not many of these original lifts around anymore.

    2:28 - pro tip: with these mechanical locks that require a code, it typically doesn't matter which order the numbers are entered, so if you see 4 buttons that stand out then there are 24 possible combinations of those 4 digits, plus the fact each number can only be used in a code once... you get the idea, these things are super easy to defeat. If you have frequent access to the building, you could put a really faint line of pen or pencil on all of the buttons, not noticeable to the untrained eye, wait a few days or something, go back and see which buttons have the marks rubbed out, test the code, then rub the mark of all the buttons so nobody could possibly see it at a later time.

    Tip for the mechanical code locks. The order that you enter the correct numbers / letters does not matter, so long as the correct ones are depressed. The "C" button clears any previously depressed buttons. Look for fingerprints on the buttons. Press "C" followed by all those with prints or worn surfaces. That's it, lock open. If prints are not obvious, polish the buttons up with cloth, sleeve etc and return after a few people have unlocked it. Prints can now be seen.

The roof on one side was visibly strengthened and you knew there would be a large tank above!

I spend a lot of time perfecting videos. Sometimes when one of my videos takes months to edit and it's not very popular, I think "why did I spend so much time on it". The reason I do it is this is "me" - I love going into detail about how things work and what I've found. "QUALITY NOT QUANTITY" is what the mrmattandmrchay channel is all about. And it makes me really happy when I get good feedback from people, which I have to say is 95% of the time. :) Also, I like engaging with my viewers. I'm always listening and I try to respond to most people, but sometimes the sheer volume of comments and messages is difficult to manage!

  • @mrmattandmrchay

    Pressing the button places voltage to make the relay switch on. When the relay is on, this places a by-pass across the button, so effectively the button can be released whilst the relay puts a short circuit across it - this is a what a latching relay does. So whether the button is pushed in the lift car, or I press the relay in manually, same effect. The call button will illuminate when-ever the relay is latched. The buttons inside the lift would also light up.

    When the lift is approaching a floor, how does the motor speed control work on a lift that is all relay logic. I didn't see any variable frequency drive (VFD) controller. Does a relay switch in a big power resistor to slow down the motor just before a floor?

  • @mrmattandmrchay

    @mrmattandmrchay

    6 жыл бұрын

    The motor has two windings, so the motor has two built in speeds. With a VFD you can generate any speed, but before the invention of VFD drives the only way to do it was with a DC motor and an AC to DC generator to run the motor. The resistors prevent full current getting to things like motors so that if the motor was jammed then the resistor would heat up rather than the motor. It also has something to do with residual current from the motor being arrested by the resistor if I remember correctly!

  • @mrmattandmrchay

    @mrmattandmrchay

    8 жыл бұрын

    +MiLAN Certainly is, as far as I know two relays should do it - the Main Contactor relay delivers power to the direction relays and should only switch on when the lift is ready to move and the safety circuit is made (i.e. all the doors are shut/locked). This must be on and then the direction of travel relay (up or down). Press both relays in by hand and it should take off, until you let go. I'm not going to try it though! I the controller WERE to request movement (up/down relay) then unless the main contactor relay is on, lift won't move.

    Yeah I guess so. It also depends on which part of the relay you are touching. If its the armature (the bit the pushes the contacts) then this should be fine to press on any relay, but it's all about being careful, and best practice is to wear gloves or press the relay with something that doesn't conduct electricity.

    4 жыл бұрын

    Here is a copy/paste from my "water tank phobia" video... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fXhnq7Rshdyxh7w.html ...SO WHY??? It's not actually the tank of water I'm afraid of, it's the automatics (especially ball values) - it's a bit like a spider that's completely visible and STILL, but when you disturb the "web" (water) it starts moving and hissing as water enters the tank. Ok, so a urinal is different, but in a way it's worse! You can hear it, water dripping into a tank which you know will 'erupt' without warning - it's just when? Is the tank full or empty? The dripping varies in pitch and volume. In fact, the fuller the tank, less distance for the drips to fall and the volume reduces. This gives you a false sense of security, as you take your mind away from it. But then, when you least expect it... The water starts falling down the pipe and you realise the flush has already started - too late to escape. From a quiet room the noise is too loud and you can hear the whoosing and gurgling of what's going on in the tank, as if the tank wants to let you know. Panic sets in, but I cannot bear the situation and it's too late to escape so I try and create a "mask". Eyes tightly shut, hands pressed hard against my ears, keep moving them to create a rustling noise to prevent me hearing the room at all. When I'm sure, I release my ears and the situation has ended. But the dripping is now louder than before as the drips travel further into the tank - a warning from the tank to 'GET OUT'. I run out trying to plan every step, including pulling the door handle down and opening the door at the same time as I'm moving towards it. Outside the room I casually walk away, but with my heart beating out of my chest! YES, I HAVE A FEAR OF WATER TANKS!

    This is not normally required. But let's change the conditions: What if, it's summer time, it's really hot in the motor room, there is no air conditioning (there isn't in this room) and the lift is being used constantly. This is a condition where the motor might get too hot and then needs a fan to cool it down. So in summary, the fan is not required 99% of the time, but during hot conditions the fan is available for the 1% of the time when the motor gets hot.

    Trust me, I totally believe you. I would never dream of attempting to surf atop any elevator. However, because of yours and others' You Tube channels devoted to vintage "lifts", I am now very interested in learning more about them. Last week, I wandered into a parking garage near my house in search of the elevators, just because I was curious about the manufacturer, and what kind they were. Thank you, Mr. Matt, and thank you Beno! It turns out they are both Otis, gen... I have no idea, and probably modernized a bit, but there was nothing very special about them. And there were HYDRAULIC!!!! Bummer! The good new is, I rode one to the roof parking level to discover one of the city's disaster sirens atop a stairwell tower, vestibule... thing. That was awesome! I even took a photo with my phone. ANYWAY!!! Thanks for your replies. Cheers from across the pond.
