WebinarHygiene

Hygiene in the elevator

Due to the current Covid 19 pandemic, the topic of lifts and hygiene and the avoidance of infection risks is on everyone's lips. But even apart from this, installations e.g. in hospitals, medical centres and old people's homes are subject to fundamentally increased requirements. In our webinar, we will give you a brief overview of the possible measures and present you with concrete solutions.

WebinarWebshop & Aurora

Introduction to the SCHAEFER Webshop- Shop4Lifts.com

We will guide you through our webshop together. We will introduce you to the functions and give you an overview of the product ranges on offer. What are the differences and advantages of buying via the webshop compared to ordering directly from SCHAEFER, e.g. via the ordering software WS-Tab or the sales department. What additional possibilities are there for cooperation via Webshop? How can I, as a component manufacturer, have my products included in the web shop and benefit from the existing logistics? And which products does SCHAEFER sell exclusively via the webshop?

WebinarEN 81-70 & EN 81-71

Requirements from the EN 81-70:2018-07 (accessibility) and EN 81-71 (protection against vandalism) lift standards.

EN 81-70:2018-07 results in a number of new requirements that must be taken into account in the design of control panels. For example, the contrast values / light reflection values (LRV) now required should ensure that lifts can also be found and operated easily by users with impaired vision. In this webinar, we would like to show you what needs to be taken into account, how different material and colour combinations affect the LRV and which recommendations can be derived from this, as well as other requirements from EN 81-70. In addition, we will show you which requirements arise from EN 81-71 with regard to protection against vandalism. 

TrainingElevator buttons

WebinarFire fighter lifts

Fire fighter lifts

In this webinar we will deal with fire brigade lifts. In addition to the requirements arising from the EN 81-72 lift standard, the requirements of the respective local fire brigade, some of which deviate from the standard, must also be taken into account.

TrainingSCHAEFER Configurator

SCHAEFER Configurator Software

With the SCHAEFER Configurator, a large number of SCHAEFER components can be configured in a central software and TFT layouts can be created. We will introduce you to the software interface and guide you through the processing steps and functions. We will also show you how to transfer your configuration or layout to the respective component / display.

WebinarCANopen

CANopen for elevators

Overview and advantages of CANopen Lift CiA 417. We will introduce you to the CANopen portfolio of SCHAEFER and discuss different CANopen topologies. 

WebinarMediaTFTflex

Lift displays series - MediaTFT flex from 10.1 to 38". Overview from planning to implementation.

The (Touch) MediaTFT flex V2.0 is extremely versatile. This opens up completely new and creative possibilities for display design and visualisation of lift data. The configuration is done via a web-based configuration tool (Flexypage). We will show you what needs to be considered when using this TFT series and give you an overview of what is possible. It doesn't matter whether it is only used as an advertising and information platform or as a fully-fledged lift panel with touchscreen operation, right up to the realisation of a hearing-impaired and foreign-language emergency call as a visual communication interface to the emergency call control centre. The MediaTFT flex series starts at 10.1" and covers all common sizes up to a 38" panorama display. Thanks to CANopen compatibility, even sensor data provided via the bus can be processed and visualised.

WebinarAccess control

Access control for elevators - transponder-based solutions & electronic key switches

We provide an overview of access control solutions for elevators. We introduce you to the EKS and EKS-Mega systems and deal with questions such as:  What transponder types are there and how do they differ? How can new transponders be saved and deleted again? How can individual access authorizations be assigned for the individual floors? And what should be considered during installation? In the subsequent Q&A session, we will address your individual questions.
