Synopsis
Nibav Lifts USA offers home elevators with advanced child safety locks that prevent unauthorized use. These smart safety features ensure children stay protected while enjoying smooth, quiet, and space-efficient vertical mobility at home.
What it is
The child safety lock is an essential feature on most home elevators that enables only those individuals who have been granted permission to operate the elevator. For children, using a home elevator can sometimes be a fun experience as they explore their newfound features. However, the potential of a child using the elevator improperly increases when it is accessed without the proper supervision and caution.
With the child safety lock installed in your new Nibav USA home elevator, any and all controls will not function unless an authorized user is allowed to activate them using a secure activation method (i.e., passcode) prior to activating the elevator. When the child safety lock is activated on the unit, all floor selection buttons will not operate unless and until the authorized user has entered the appropriate access code. In this manner, Nibav USA home elevators can be classified as controlled access vertical transportation systems whereby children cannot use the lift without assistance from an adult.
Why it is important
Children naturally have a desire to explore and experience new things. Jewelry is often seen by them like toys, therefore causing them to take joyrides via elevators. If there are no access restrictions on an elevator within a residential home, a child could:
- Initiate an elevator for no reason.
- Plunge down without adult supervision.
- Push several buttons or hang the door shut.
- Create hazards during normal operation.
The child safety lock on Nibav USA elevators permits access only for adults. Families with small children must use this feature to help ensure no one mistakenly uses an elevator that can cause:
- Panic or fear inside the elevator
- Injury from entering or exiting
- Unsafe decisions made by the operator
By adding a child safety lock, Nibav’s elevator system has become a childproofed and fully supervised mobility device for parents seeking to ensure safe travel with children while giving parents their daily convenience of transportation throughout the house.
Who will benefit?
1. Families with young children
No child should be able to access the operation of an elevator without someone older than 12 years old being present.
2. Multi-generational householders
Grandparents and other caregivers will have the peace of mind of knowing that their grandkids will not be able to run up and down the stairs.
3. Luxury households with frequent visitors
Children whose parents invite them to visit their house and/or use the elevator during their stay may not be familiar with how to operate an elevator safely.
4. Open-plan homes
Open-plan spaces in homes that have elevators located in a common living area require the control of who has access to the elevator.
5. Homeowners preparing for long-term safety
Child safety lock provides an added layer of security for families who plan to stay in their home for many years.
Technical details
Nibav USA provides a child safety lock using digital access control (DAC) integrated into the elevator’s central processing unit.
1. Controller interface
The child safety lock is activated through the elevator control panel, and access is limited to authorized users that can enable or disable the lock.
2. Required user input to activate child safety lock
Once the user accesses the child safety lock, the system requires either:
- A secure passcode
- Or an authorised control sequence to verify the user’s identity
3. Blocking commands
When child safety lock is enabled:
- Floor buttons are rendered inoperable.
- The door open/close command will not work, and travel cannot occur until the authentication process is completed.
4. System integration
The children’s safety lock is integrated into the Nibav central control processor and cannot be bypassed before Nibav’s mechanical button reset.
5. Fail-safe operation
If there is a sudden interruption in power to the elevator, an additional fail-safe remote mechanical switch will initiate emergency descent and open the door, keeping children safe.
