0138 Brake Not Set

Summary: This section describes the Travel Control error Brake Not Set.

After a normal (automatic) trip the brake does not close as expected (status of KB contacts shows open brake) after the 'brake off' command timeout following the 'SB off' command. In this critical situation the inverter remains powered and keeps the car on the floor. The door(s) are closed immediately and remain closed (door open button is disabled). With closed doors the inverter is switched off and the elevator is blocked permanently with fatal error. Before opening the doors manually to release the passengers a check must be done to confirm that the brake applies sufficient mechanical torque to hold the car.
