Dvigala (lifti) - 5. del: Krmilja, signali in pripadajoča oprema
Ta del standarda ISO 4190 določa krmilja, gumbe in indikatorje, ki se zagotovijo pri konstruiranju in vgradnji dvigala (lifta), pri čemer se upošteva vrsta krmilja, namenjenega za dvigalo, in zagotovi enostaven dostop za invalidne osebe (motorično in/ali senzorno). Dodatek B določa posebne zahteve za dostop. Opis krmilja vsebuje samo opredelitev gumbov in indikatorjev. Ne gre za popoln opis tega krmilja ali poskus njegovega standardiziranja. Ta del standarda ISO 4190 določa tudi zahteve za ograje, kadar so nameščene v kabini. Uporablja se za dvigala razredov I do IV in VI iz standardov ISO 4190-1 in ISO 4190-2. Skupna dvigala imajo skupna krmilja in so električno medsebojno povezana, da se zagotovi boljša storitev in zmanjšajo stroški. Sistem je lahko bolj ali manj kompleksen, kar je odvisno od števila dvigal in pričakovanega prometa. Posledično ta del standarda ISO 4190 ne obravnava dodatnih signalov, ki se lahko proizvajalcu zdijo koristni (npr. »naslednja kabina«, »umaknite se od vrat«). Naslednji elementi niso obravnavani v tem delu standarda ISO 4190: a) posebne funkcije (in njihovi pripadajoči signali), kot so nekatere funkcije za izboljšanje storitve posteljnih dvigal, zaslonov na dotik ali glasovnih aktivatorjev; b) vse naprave za pospešitev prometa v primeru avtomatičnih vrat (spremenljivi časovni zamiki glede na različna merila, gumb za zaprtje, svetlobni žarek itd.). Zahteve tega dela standarda ISO 4190 so namenjene uporabi v vseh primerih, v katerih so vključena krmilja in osnovni signali, pri čemer jih je mogoče uporabiti tudi kot vodilo pri razvoju dodatnih signalov.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4190-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 178, Lifts, escalators and moving walks.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4190-5:1987), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
This third edition of ISO 4190-5 takes into account the latest studies concerning ergonomics and the needs of
various people with disabilities.
Many regional disabled people's associations were associated with this work and were in agreement with
these new concepts. A general consensus had been obtained on the data recorded in this part of ISO 4190.
However, due to existing regulations and, in particular, local habits, in some countries it could be difficult to
introduce a part of these specifications without certain precautions being taken (for example, modification of a
well-known symbol).
Concerning provisions expressed in terms of values (dimensions, sound level, etc.), this part of ISO 4190
often gives two ranges of values: a general range, followed by a recommended range. The range of
recommended values is intended as the target to be reached, as far as is possible, in each country.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4190-5:2006(E)
Lift (Elevator) installation —
Part 5:
Control devices, signals and additional fittings
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4190 specifies the control devices, buttons and indicators to be provided when a lift
(US: elevator) is constructed and installed, taking into account the type of control intended for the lift and also
ensuring the ease of access for disabled persons (motor and/or sensory). Annex B gives particular
requirements for access. The description of the controls is given only in order to define the buttons and
indicators. It does not constitute a complete description of these controls nor does it attempt to standardize
them.
This part of ISO 4190 also specifies the requirements for handrails when provided in the car.
It is applicable to lifts of classes I to IV and VI as defined in ISO 4190-1 and ISO 4190-2.
Group collective lifts have common controls and are electrically interconnected so as to provide a better
service and for reasons of economy. The system can be more or less complex according to the number of lifts
and the expected traffic. Consequently, this part of ISO 4190 does not deal with supplementary signals which
the manufacturer may consider useful (e.g. “next car”, “stand clear of the doors”).
The following are not dealt with in this part of ISO 4190:
a) special features (and their corresponding signals), such as certain features for improving the service of
bed lifts, touch screens or voice activators;
b) any devices for speeding the traffic in the case of automatic doors (variable time delays according to
different criteria, closing button, light ray, etc.).
The requirements of this part of ISO 4190 are intended to be followed in all cases where the controls and the
basic signals are concerned, and can also be used as a guide in developing supplementary signals.

ISO 4190-5:2006(E)
3 Specifications relating to controls
3.1 Types of control systems
3.1.1 Down collective control (DC)
With the down collective control (DC), landing calls can be registered whether or not the car is available.
The calls are registered by pressing the call button provided on each landing. If the car is free or coming down,
it will answer the landing call from the highest landing and then the other calls in succession as it approaches
the main floor.
The calls registered in the car will be retained at any time and answered in logical sequence according to the
direction of travel.
This control can be used when there is no passenger traffic between upper floors — passengers make use of
the lift from the main floor to the required floor or vice versa — and when there is no level served below the
main floor. It requires one call button per landing. It can be used with a single or group collective lift (see
Clause 1) and where one or more levels below the main floor level are to be served.
The control shall be DC for the levels above the main floor, but up collective for the levels below the main floor.
The precise name for this type of control is up-distributive/down-collective.
3.1.2 Directional (full) collective control (FC)
This control requires two call buttons on each intermediate landing — one for ascent and another for descent
— so that the passengers can indicate the direction in which they wish to travel, with a single button at the
terminal landings.
Both landing and car calls registered are answered in logical sequence according to the direction of travel of
the car.
This system is installed when inter-floor traffic is expected during upward and downward travel. It can be used
with a single lift or in group collective lifts (see Clause 1).
3.1.3 Destination-oriented lift systems (DO)
For destination controls, see Annex A.
3.1.4 Lift group
A lift group is formed of lifts having the management of landing calls in common.
Group operation can be provided for DC, FC or DO controls.
For destination controls using a keypad, see Annex A.
3.1.5 Car call sequential step scanning
Lift car call sequential step scanning shall be provided where car control buttons are provided more than
1 220 mm above the car floor.
Floor selection shall be accomplished by applying momentary or constant pressure to one of the two special
buttons (up and down scan button).
⎯ The up scan button shall sequentially select floors above the current floor.
2 © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 4190-5:2006(E)
⎯ The down scan button shall sequentially select floors below the current floor.
When pressure is removed from the up or down scan button for more than 2 s, the last floor selected shall be
registered as a car call.
The up and down scan button shall be located adjacent to, or immediately above, the emergency control
buttons.
3.2 Control devices

accessibility shall be used (see Table C.1, 10).
3.2.1.3 Lift group
Every floor shall be equipped with landing stations having one or two call buttons. The minimum quantity of
landing stations shall be
⎯ one per face for lifts facing on another (opposite lift),
⎯ one for a maximum of four adjacent lifts (if the landing station is located between two lifts).
Lift groups containing only one wheelchair-accessible lift shall be equipped with a special button marked with
the wheelchair symbol, used to call the wheelchair-accessible lift (see Table C.1, 10).
This lift shall be identified by the standard symbol of accessibility (see Table C.1, 10).
3.2.1.4 Buttons (not applicable to keypads, see Annex A)
The following is applicable to landing buttons other than those on keypads.

3 Specifications relating to controls
3.1 Types of control systems
3.1.1 Down collective control (DC)
With the down collective control (DC), landing calls can be registered whether or not the car is available.
The calls are registered by pressing the call button provided on each landing. If the car is free or coming down,
it will answer the landing call from the highest landing and then the other calls in succession as it approaches
the main floor.
The calls registered in the car will be retained at any time and answered in logical sequence according to the
direction of travel.
This control can be used when there is no passenger traffic between upper floors — passengers make use of
the lift from the main floor to the required floor or vice versa — and when there is no level served below the
main floor. It requires one call button per landing. It can be used with a single or group collective lift (see
Clause 1) and where one or more levels below the main floor level are to be served.
The control shall be DC for the levels above the main floor, but up collective for the levels below the main floor.
The precise name for this type of control is up-distributive/down-collective.
3.1.2 Directional (full) collective control (FC)
This control requires two call buttons on each intermediate landing — one for ascent and another for descent
— so that the passengers can indicate the direction in which they wish to travel, with a single button at the
terminal landings.
Both landing and car calls registered are answered in logical sequence according to the direction of travel of
the car.
This system is installed when inter-floor traffic is expected during upward and downward travel. It can be used
with a single lift or in group collective lifts (see Clause 1).
3.1.3 Destination-oriented lift systems (DO)
For destination controls, see Annex A.
3.1.4 Lift group
A lift group is formed of lifts having the management of landing calls in common.
Group operation can be provided for DC, FC or DO controls.
For destination controls using a keypad, see Annex A.
3.1.5 Car call sequential step scanning
Lift car call sequential step scanning shall be provided where car control buttons are provided more than
1 220 mm above the car floor.
Floor selection shall be accomplished by applying momentary or constant pressure to one of the two special
buttons (up and down scan button).
⎯ The up scan button shall sequentially select floors above the current floor.
