This brochure has been prepared to assist you in

planning your escalator and moving walk projects.

On the following pages you will find everything

which is of importance, step by step.

First we want to simplify the selection of the

appropriate escalators and moving walks, as well

as their ideal arrangement in your building. The

building regulations and standards, which need

to be taken into account, follow. Finally, we deal

extensively with the topic of installation andassembly.

Our simple idea for the basics of planning was

to provide you with a clear summary of the most

important items, and thus guide you safely

through the jungle of standards and regulations.

Since we wanted to leave you adequate space for

your own ideas, we have omitted many options

and alternatives.

Our experts look forward to working with you in

implementing new and creative ideas.

4I. OVERVIEW.What type do you need?

ThyssenKrupp Escalators.The escalator or moving walk model you select,will reflect your concept and your individual style.

The model you finally select will depend on the

capacity requirements of the escalators and

moving walks, the location of your installation in

particular, the type of weather that it must with-

stand and the required performance.

On the following pages, we provide an overview

of our products to help you identify the right type

for your requirements.

1. Which escalator ormoving walkto use? When?

We distinguish between escalators and moving

walks for commercial centres and traffic installa-

tions. Due to the wide range of our models,

we can adapt to most requirements.

We are able to supply five different models.

Discover the one for you!

With or without Internet connection?Many ThyssenKrupp escalators and moving

walks are already e-service capable. That

means the system data can be accessed via the

Internet. All XTRA models and all TUGELAs and

VICTORIAs are fitted ex-works with an innovative

Internet interface. By using new image transfer

technologies these escalators and moving walks

will even be remote-controllable (e-monitoring).

But whichever model you may prefer

your decision is always for the proverbial quality

Made by ThyssenKrupp.

Velino.

Two models, one distinction: More design for modern buildings.

New lighting feature under the handrail, reinforced profile or plain.

All models combine attractive design with the latest escalator technology

for increased comfort and safety.

Standard model: VelinoBase

Premium model: VelinoXtra

Tugela.

Never have traffic escalators looked so good. Whether with glass or metal

balustrade, the Tugela models are made to direct the traffic of tomorrow.

Economical, robust, and with boasting technical features.

of weather.

Orinoco.

The moving walk to go with the Velino escalator: A range of lighting systems and

balustrade profiles make the Orinoco moving walk the perfect complement for

shopping malls, exhibition centres and airports. Its innovative design coupled with

state of the art engineering and technology give it exemplary qualities for blending

into the prevailing architecture.

2. Travel speeds and transport capacities.

Escalators and moving walks can continuously move passengers.

Consequently, their transport capacity is much greater than that of lifts.

Travel speeds of 0.5 to 0.65 m/s are recommended internationally.

The maximum permissible speed of 0.75 m/s is only sensible for

escalators with a considerable travel height.

For moving walks the same speeds apply. Exception: For a horizontal

moving walk, the speed can be increased up to 0.9 m/s.

For example, passengers tend to be hesitant at higher speeds when

stepping on to the step or pallet band. Even with larger step or palletwidths, the possibility to pass is not always utilized. Even so, higher

speeds and wider steps or pallets, ensure travel comfort and a

considerable reduction of travel time.

EN 115: 2008 - for traffic flow planning the capacity of escalators and

moving walks has been defined as illustrated in the diagram.

3. Inclinations and travel heights.

Even with a rise of only 1.40 m, an escalator can considerably ease visitor

access to the building.

Traffic installations:

The most common travel heights of traffic installations are between 4 and

10 m. The most common angles of inclination for this are 27.3 and 30.

At 27.3, the escalators are normally parallel to the fixed staircases in

public traffic installations.

Commercial centres escalators:

For escalators in commercial centres, experience has shown that a 30

angle of inclination ensures optimum utilization of the space available and

maximum ease of use. For a rise up to 6 m a 35 angle of inclination is

available (EN 115 only).

bMoving walk:

Inclined moving walks in shopping centres are

allowed a maximum angle of 12. For extended

travel distance, e.g. trade fairs and airports,

horizontal moving walks with wide pallets are

especially sensible.

a - Short lower part: low space requirement at bottom level

b - Long lower part: highest ride comfort through convenient

entrance with shopping trolley

c - Short upper part: for economical space usage at upper level

d - Long upper part: Optimised for the use of shopping trolleys

4. Step and pallet widths.

An optimum choice needs to be made here:

Neither excessively wide nor narrow steps or pallets represent

a balanced ratio between the space required and the transport

capacity, between travel comfort and costs.

Based on the cross-sections you can see the required space

of your escalators and moving walks. A clearance of 30 mm

for installation must be added to the dimensions on either side

of the escalator or moving walk.

The EN115: 2008 revision for moving walks: The pallet width must

be 400 mm wider than the width of shopping trolleys or baggage

carts. The trolleys or carts must fit to the ThyssenKrupp pallet.

Through wider steps or pallets, escalators and

moving walk become noticeably more attractive.

5. Extended newels.

Optional extended newels optimise connections to ambient

railings in the upper and lower entrance areas.

6. Transition curves.

Depending on space availability and the number of

horizontal runout steps, there is a choice of three

transition curves for the upper entrance area. Two

transition curves are available for the lower entrance area.

8. Power supply.

Our escalators and moving walks operate world-

wide to suit all power supplies and frequencies:

Please notify us in advance of the voltages and

frequencies in your building! Running andstarting currents for your escalator system can

be obtained from our slide rulers.

Upon stepping on to the escalator,

a guard rail ensures that the light

barrier is activated.

In this case a guard rails is not necessary.

The radar sensor is able to monitor the

directions of the persons. The escalator

will start only if somebody enters the

entrance area.

7. Operating modes.

After rush-hour, escalators and moving walks do

not need to operate at full power. You can save

energy and reduce wear.

For this we recommend either intermittent

operation: Through starting elements, e.g. radar

sensors or light barriers at the landings, the

escalator only starts to operate when people

need to be conveyed. When light barrier or radar

sensors do not detect passenger entries, theescalator operates by means of a time relay until

the last user has left the step band and the set

follow-up time has expired. Traffic light units

indicate if the machine is operational as well as

the direction of travel.

Or ThyssenKrupp Energy Control for further

passenger comfort: Using a frequency-voltage

converter the speed is reduced to 0.2 m/s.

The slower stand-by service indicates to the

passengers the function of the escalator as well

as the direction of travel. Upon passing through

a light barrier, the escalator accelerates to the

set speed.

10III. Safety manual.You can play it safe!

Where passengers are concerned, safety is of paramount

importance. With the Motion Safety System, which unites all

ThyssenKrupp safety innovations to a superior system, we

comply with national and international safety requirements.

And thats not all: During the planning stage, standards and

regulations must also be observed.

On the following pages, we provide you with an overview and

practical examples on how you can play it safe!

Theory.

Which standards, guidelines and building regulations need

to be observed?

- EN 115 (European standard EN 115).

The safety rules for construction and assembly of escalators

and moving walks have applied throughout the EU since 1992.

Outside the EU, also fufill other national rules.

- Machinery guideline (98/37/EG).

The purpose of the machinery guideline is to assure free goods

traffic for machines in the European Union.

- ANSI/CSA.

In North America standards are published by the American

National Standards Institute (ANSI), resp. by the Canadian

Standards Association (CSA). These directives virtually tally

those of EN 115.

We always provide architects planning to install a continuous

conveyor outside the EN-regulations area with information on

the most important deviations.

- National standards and building regulations.


11/24

11

Practice.

Everything which is important.

1. EN 115 (European standard EN 115)

also deals with step and pallet widths, inclinations and travel

heights as well as travel speed with regard to operational safety.

The standard states,

- that the inclination of escalators should not exceed 35.

Exception: For a travel height of more than 6 m or a speed

of more than 0.5 m/s, a maximum inclination of 30 is possible.

According to ANSI/CSA inclinations exceeding 30 are normally

not permissible.

- that the usual speed of moving walks is 0.5 or 0.65 m/s.

The maximum speed is set at 0.75 m/s.

Exception: The speed can be increased up to 0.9 m/s.

Conditions:

- pallet width up to 1000 mm

- long, horizontal run of pallets (1600 mm)

- that the current rated speeds of escalators are 0.5 resp.

0.65 m/s. The maximum permissible speed is set at 0.75 m/s.ANSI/CSA: The speed must not exceed 0.64 m/s.

- that, for moving walks, a maximum inclination of 12,

for pallet widths exceeding 1000 mm, a maximum inclination

of 6 is permissible.

2. Horizontal steps.

For travel heights up to 6 m, 2 horizontally guided steps (800 mm)

must be provided. With larger travel heights, 3 horizontal steps(1200 mm) must be included in the design.

ANSI/CSA: A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 horizontally guided

steps are requested!

3. Safety zone.

Safety zone (free space in front of the escalator)

must be included in the design of the landing areas.

This must be equivalent to the distance beetween

the outer edges of the handtrail x+ 160 mm and

must be at least 2500 mm in depth. Or double the

distance of x+160 mm and at least 2000 mm in

length. On moving walks, the safety zone must be

dimensioned more generously, where luggage or

shopping trolleys are transported.

According to the

diagram, an infill

panel must beinstalled.

4. Safety distances and deflectors.

EN 115: The lateral distance between the outsideedge of the handrail and fixed walls must be at

least 80 mm and a minimum of 2100 mm above

the step or pallet band.

The distance between the balustrade middle and

building must be at least 500 mm. Should the

distance measure less than 500 mm ThyssenKrupp

will fit additional deflectors of at least 300 mm to

prevent people from becoming trapped.

ANSI/CSA: A minimum distance of 102 mm must

be maintained between handrail and neighbouring

surfaces.

5. Additional side balustrade.

The use of railings or an additional side balustrade

at a height of 1000 mm prevents people from

getting on to the escalator or moving walk by

stepping over the balustrades.

6. Infill panels.

With adjacent escalators or moving walks,

the maximum distance between the balustrades

can be 120 mm. Infill panels are required withlarger distances.

7. Skirt brushes.

Skirt brushes are intended to prevent users from pressing

their shoes against the skirt. To the extent that these

are prescribed by national regulations or if requested by

the customer, brushes are fitted to the skirt above the

steps. An analysis of the dangers according to the machin-

ery guideline have shown that skirt brushes raise the safety

standard of escalators.

8. Clearance height above steps.

The clearance above the step or pallet band must

be at least 2300 mm at every location.

ANSI/CSA: A clearance of 2130 mm (resp. 7 feet)

is specified.

9. Lighting.

In order for passengers to step safely on to

escalators or moving walks, the step or pallet

band must be adequately lit. The required lighting

must be at least 50 Lux.

ThyssenKrupp additionally offers various lighting

options. For example:

1. Above the balustrade,

2. Integrated in the skirt band or

3. Before the comb plates.

15IV. Installation possibilities.Moving with the flow is easy!

Escalators and moving walks considerably increase

the appeal of commercial centres and traffic instal-

lations by achieving

- a similar frequency of people on all floors

and therefore an increase in turnover

- guiding the flow of people and especially

- ensuring travel comfort.

In recent years, they have actually been promoted

to become a major design feature in modern archi-

tecture. In fact, ThyssenKrupp has combined exem-plary functionality and aesthetics through design

varieties and numerous technical innovations.

In the following chapter, we present the most

common installation possibilities. Using example-

based information, we explain the special features

that must be taken into account from the construc-

tion perspective.

ThyssenKrupp is the competent manu-

facturer even for extravagant solutions.

For example at the London Underwriting

Centre we have installed the worlds

first free-suspended escalator system.

Examples showing arrangements.

There are various possibilities for positioning

escalators in a building. We show you several

examples of the most frequently used arrange-

ments. Depending on the requirement, you can

decide whether passengers are to be conveyed

quickly from floor to floor, or whether they have

to go through promotional areas.

ThyssenKrupp escalators are designed to

operate in both directions. As such, you do

not need to decide the travel direction atthe planning stage! Plan view.

V. Preparations by others.Everything is well prepared!

If you need to retrofit escalators

or moving walks in

a building, our experts can provide

you with helpful hints!

1. Installation timing.

To prevent damage to the escalator during the construction phase the

timing of installation and assembly should be as close as possible to the

opening date. It should, however, proceed completion of the floor so

as to dispense with the need to take further measures to protect floor

coverings. Please ensure that the provisional floors along the transport

route in the building can comfortably cope with the load weight.

2. Transport to the assembly site.

A suitable unloading area must be available in front of the building.

The access routes to the building must be level and negotiable by

heavy duty rollers. Along the entire transport route to the assemblysite the free height must not be less than the minimum specified in

the disposition plan (also goes for pipes and other attachments fitted

by others to the ceiling structure). In your plan calculations allow for

a 150 mm height of the transport rollers. The entrance width depends

on the width of the conveyor, the length of the delivered units and,

if present, the distance between supporting pillars in the building.

In case of doubt, the entire transport route on location should be

run through on a CAD program or scale paper model.

3. Access openings, transport route load capacity.

Together with you, we agree on the best access possibility.

- Normally, escalators are moved in through openings at the side

of the building at ground level.- Optionally, suitable roof openings should be provided, in order

to bring the escalators by crane.

It is important that the route to the assembly location within the building

is free of obstacles and level, and the ceiling can support a load of 40 kN.

Otherwise the appropriate weight distribution must be catered to.

4. Special delivery.

In order to deliver your system into the building and to assemble it

ready for use in a time saving manner please pay attention to the follow-

ing during the planning stage:

In some cases it is not possible to bring the complete escalator into thebuilding. In this case we dismantle the balustrades before delivering the

escalator to you.

Some escalators are so long that they have to be installed in sections.

In this case, we manufacture a split escalator.

Access opening about 3.5 x 3.5 metres.

have listed everything that needs to be planned

and carried out on site to ensure easy installation

of your escalators and moving walks.

5. Ceiling openings.

We will notify you of the location and size of the required

ceiling openings on the installation drawing. You must

supervise the precise implementation of these.

6. Top and bottom supports.

When you design the support recess please take the

support loads into account. They are shown on the

installation drawing, i.e. at those locations where the

supports of your escalator (or your moving walk) will be

placed, the statics must be able to bear the weight of

the escalator including 5 kN/sq.m. traffic load.

When preparing the supporting structures the measure-

ments indicated on our installation plans must be precisely

adhered to.

7. Intermediate supports.

Intermediate supports are needed on escalators witha considerable travel height and on long moving walks.

We will inform you in our installation plan of the location

of the intermediate supports as you have to include the

additional required space in your construction plan.

8. Pick-up points by others.

You will be responsible for fitting pick-up points for

hosting and supporting the escalator during assembly.

These should be located exactly above the centre of the

supporting points. For systems with several supportingstructures please plan for additional pick-up points above

the intermediate supports. All pick-up points must be

capable of taking a load strain of min. 50 kN.

Side view through the

support with all details.

Solid escalators have a corresponding dead weight.An escalator e.g. with a travel height of 4 m, at an

angle of 30, weighs an impressive 6920 kg.

Therefore please check that the floor of the building

will bear the transport weight of your escalator.

Otherwise, you will need additional floor

support during the installation period.

9. Electrical connection.

Our diagram shows where escalators and moving walks

are connected to the power supply. Please note that

electrical cables are inserted at a distance of 450 mm on

the side of the support and that the length of the cable on

the inside of the escalator must be about 1500 mm!

With complex controls, such as those usually required for

escalators and moving walks in traffic installations, the

control equipment should be installed in a separate room.

The supply cable is then installed in this control room.

In case of additional of soffit lightings a separate power

supply must be considered in time. The power connectionmust be provided by an authorised electrical-engineer

assigned by you.

10. Sprinkler piping.

An optional safety feature is the installation of a sprinkler

piping within the escalator or moving walk.

11. Oil separator.

A type-proofed oil separator is essential for escalators

and moving walks which are exposed to the weather.

ThyssenKrupp supplies (optional) the oil separator in thelower reversal station. At the construction site a recess

must be provided for the oil separator in the escalator pit.

12. Railings by others.

In the threshold areas of the escalators, railings have to be

installed by others. The distance to the escalator handrail

has to be at least 80 mm.

For adjacent escalators, the distance between the edges of

the handrails must be at least 120 mm.

21VI. Installation.Is it in the right operation position?

Towards the end of our basics of planning, one is confront-

ed with the installation of the escalators and moving walks:

On the following pages we provide you with information

about the most important site precautions which will assist

us in installating your escalator system in an effective

manner.

1. Preparations.

You inform us of your model requirements, travel height

and angle of inclination as well as the location of the

escalators. Our engineers then design your escalator.

2. Confirmation of the main dimensions.

ThyssenKrupp will send you a planning sketch or an instal-

lation drawing of your installation. Please check whether

the dimensions of the escalators or moving walks comply

with the dimensions of your building. Please confirm this

on the planning sketch or on the installation drawing.

In addition, our installation team will verify and discuss

the access with you.

The more we know about your building the

more precise the planning. The ceiling

openings and support loads are determined

in accordance with your information.

Every escalator is manufactured separatelyaccording to your individual requirements:

That is why confirmation of the main dimen-

sions is absolutely essential!

3. Final installation.

The escalators and moving walks are unloaded from the

transport vehicle by crane or by forklift truck and placed on

heavy-duty rollers. Then, we transport your escalator or

moving walk through the building. For installation purpos-

es, lifting eyes are attached to the support angles of the

escalator.

Depending on the type of building and the type of escalator

or moving walk there are several possibilities available for

the final installation:

Normally, holes with a 100 mm diameter will have been

made through the ceiling, according to our instructions.

These are used by our installation team for fixing the lifting

gear. This way your escalator or moving walk is simply lift-ed upwards from floor to floor! The load strain of every

pick-up point during assembly must be at least 25 kN.

Optional:

Installation with a frame. If no assembly holes can be pro-

vided the escalators and moving walks are lifted to their

final location by means of an especially sturdy girder con-

struction. In this case, ceiling load strain must take at least

25 kN.

Optional:

Crane assembly. Where a suitable roof opening is available

or the site is located outdoor we lift your escalator or

moving walk by crane and place it on the supports provid-

ed. The customer is responsible for ensuring for all local

authority approvals.

Attachment of

the cable winches

to the holes are
