I am however, still not sure what the Service Stop button does. I think it must act as a parking brake or something. The stops are numbered on the master panel as so; 1: Normal Stop, 2: Service Stop, 3: Emergency Stop (with a lock mechanism on it) I think it is part of the lock out procedure. Any ideas????
Normal Stop : The electric motor begins slowing the lift (regenerative braking). When the lift slows to a preset speed the service brake closes and stops the lift. This kind of stop should be the smoothest of the three and its minimizes brake wear.
Service stop: The service brake closes and stops the lift with no assistance from the electric motor.
Emergency Stop (aka Emergency Shutdown): The emergency brake closes and stops the lift with no assistance from the electric motor.
Your right about the lock for the E-Stop button, its for locking out the lift for maintenance.
