What You Will Learn?

Training Skills	Description
1. Elevator Structure Fundamentals	Understand traction systems, weight balancing systems, guide systems, safety protection systems, car and door systems, and escalator basics. Explain the working principles of motors, traction systems, counterweight systems, guide systems, safety devices, and car/door assemblies.
2. Elevator Assembly Installation	Perform installation preparation (drawing reading, tool/material preparation, site survey). install machine room equipment (traction machine, control cabinet, speed governor); install shaft components (guide rails, brackets, landing doors); assemble car body and safety gear. Perform electrical wiring (machine room, shaft, landing stations). Conduct slow-speed and full-speed commissioning, rated speed testing, and safety device verification per GB 7588 and GB 10060 standards.
3. Elevator Electrical Control Technology	Identify electrical control system composition (main circuit and control circuit). Apply PLC control principles and elevator control programs. understand VVVF variable frequency drive systems. operate call systems, indication systems, and communication systems. perform circuit testing using multimeters and oscilloscopes. read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
4. Elevator Fault Diagnosis and Troubleshooting	Classify faults by type (mechanical, electrical, control system). apply diagnostic methods (observation, measurement, substitution, and segmented isolation). analyze typical faults—door system faults (door operator malfunction, incomplete closing), safety circuit faults (circuit interruption), control system faults (PLC/inverter failures), and communication faults (landing display errors). Follow a structured troubleshooting flow: symptom recording → cause analysis → solution planning → implementation → verification; apply safety protocols, including lockout/tagout and PPE.
5. Elevator Maintenance and Servicing	Perform maintenance across cycles (daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual, annual). service mechanical systems — traction machine (oil level check, noise monitoring), guide rails (cleaning, lubrication), door systems (door operator cleaning, door vane adjustment), and safety devices (safety gear and speed governor testing). service electrical systems — control cabinet (dust removal, fastener tightening), electrical components (contactors, relays), grounding resistance testing. Follow checkpoint inspection specifications and record-keeping. Apply energy-saving measures and eco-friendly lubricant disposal practices.
6. Elevator Safety Technology	Apply special equipment safety regulations (Special Equipment Safety Law, TSG T5002 Maintenance Rules, GB 7588 Safety Code). Manage on-site safety—safety signage and PPE, shaft work safety (working at heights, fall prevention), electrical work safety (power isolation, voltage verification), and confined space protocols. Conduct installation process safety supervision, periodic safety inspections, and hazard identification and correction. Execute emergency response procedures under authorized safety protocols, including entrapment response, fire emergency response, equipment fault response, and incident reporting and documentation.
