ESCA DISTANCE S3

Safety for Escalators

1. General description

The Radar Sensor DISTANCE S3 has been designed to be used as contact less acting security device for

moving staircases (escalators). The sensor is acting as a Doppler-radar intrinsically safe according to
Performance Level d EN ISO13849-1:2008. His capture range covers the entrance area of the escalator

above the contact plate area. It detects slow moving passengers as well as passenger with low reflecting
surface to start-up the escalator according to EN115-1:2008.

2. Versions

The Radar-Sensor DISTANCE S3 is available in different Versions. They have different detection ranges of
the Sensor. There are also sensors that will only detect approaching persons or both approaching and

departing persons.

There are 2 different versions of outputs availlable:

V1 has one potential free Optocoupler output as opener.

V2 has two active 24V Outputs, which are phase-shifted 180°.

Als versions are in the following table:

Name Opening angel Output Range Approaching/Departing
DISTANCE S3-V1 70°H , 36°V V1 2,5 - 2,7m Approaching only
DISTANCE S3-V2 70°H , 36°V V2 2,5 - 2,7m Approaching only
DISTANCE S3-V2-120 70°H , 36°V V2 1,2 - 1,3m Approaching only
DISTANCE S3-V2-120-BD 70°H , 36°V V2 1,2 - 1,3m Approaching & Departing

4. Installation

4.1 Mounting position

The recommended locations to install the sensor into the escalator:

- below of handrail entrance point

- into the balustrade base

- at the area of the contact-mat inside a protective housing

4.2 Prescribed check of mounting position

For each type of escalator it is once required to determine and document the selected mounting position.
It has be assured to cover the entrance area of the escalator by the sensor range and to make sure this

range/area can not be bypassed by any passenger. This procedure will secure a save start of the escalator.
The sensor should be protected from covering it by any metal parts.

To test the entrance area a metal sphere of 18cm diameter should be used to simulate repeatable an

approaching passenger.

The test using the metal sphere begins at a distance of 2.5m rolling the sphere slowly in direction of the

spirketing. The radar sensor has to activate the escalator in a distance of 1.6m from the spirketing. This
procedure has to be repeated for all possible passenger routes into the entrance area. If the sensor doesn't

recognise the movement of the sphere on a certain route, the mounting position of the radar sensor has to
be modified accordingly.

The escalator manufacturer or the service/refurbishment company is responsible for the correct check of the

sensor accordingly to the procedure shown above.

The radar sensor manufacture can not be held responsible for any loss or damage based on an inaccurate
selected mounting position or ambiance or coverage of the radar sensor.

5. Output signal lines

The output lines are different due to the configuration of the radar sensor module (please refer to
chapter 3.4). If a movement is detected by the radar sensor the output level is changed for about 0.5

seconds. The meaning for the possible status of the two different module versions are shown in table 1
below:

6. Fault tracking

The radar sensor undergo periodic repeating internal self tests while he is in operation. The time interval for

this test are max 10 seconds. During these test cycles the radar receiver, as well as the internal controller
memory and the output lines are checked for error-free functionality. Some of the output errors can only be

detected when the output power is changed.

6.1 Detection of malfunction

If an internal malfunction is detected during these tests, the output of the radar sensor is permanently
disabled. It is impossible to reactivate the radar sensor again.

A cable break from the radar sensor to the escalator control results in an open output signal which forces the
escalator control to keep continuous operation for the current direction.

The status of the output signal lines after detection of a malfunction are described in chapter 4.

6.2 Indication of errors or faults

A LED points out the module status. The LED is visible on the side of the housing.

Possible faults are described in table 2:
