3.6.9 Main switch
Power supply is interrupted by turning the main
switch of the bottom platform box to OFF position.
3.6.10 Trapped key switch
All control is interrupted by turning the Trapped key
switch to OFF position. In this case the key is able
to be taken out. The key allows the user to open
the fence door of tower platforms. The key will
remain locked until the fence door is closed.
3.6.11 Electromagnetic motor brake
The hoist integrates an electromagnetic springloaded brake which engages automatically
– on releasing the UP/DOWN control buttons
– following a power failure.
3.6.12 Emergency stop button
When a red emergency stop button is pushed in
an emergency, all control is interrupted. After
remedying the fault, control is reactivated by
pulling the button, until it pops out again and
pressing a reset button.
3.6.13 Overload limiter
The overload limiter is built into the wire rope
traction system and will prevent upward travel in
the event of an overload. A warning signal (buzzer)
is triggered which will stop only when the cause of
the overload has been removed.
Possible reasons for activation of the limiter:
- The service lift is overloaded or
- The service lift encounters an obstacle during
upward travel.
Operator intervention:
- Reduce the load to below the overload limit, or
- Lower the lift until it is free of the obstacle and
remove the obstacle before using the lift again.
3.6.14 Manual descent
The hoist is delivered with a lever that allows
manual release of the electromagnetic motor
brake. Once the motor brake is released, the
motor speed is controlled by a mechanical
overspeed limiter installed between the motor
shaft and the gear box. During manual descent
and no power supply, the bottom obstruction
device is still operational by means of the emergency bottom obstruction breaker.
3.6.15 Fall arrest device
Service lift is equipped with a fall arrest device
which will prevent the load from falling in case of a
traction system failure or a traction wire rope
breaking. The fall arrest device can be opened
manually from inside the cabin. The speed of the
safety wire rope passing through the device is
continuously monitored, and the jaws automatically close in the event of sudden excessive
speed.
18 AVANTI Service Lift for Wind Turbines
STOP
Tightness of safety wire rope must be
frequently checked, as it fully affects
functionality of fall arrest device!
This protects the lift from:
a) Traction wire rope breaks and
b) Hoist failures
The fall arrest device can also be engaged manually in an emergency by turning counterclockwise
the Emergency stop lever.
3.6.16 Warning lights
Warning lights are mounted on the top and at the
base of the lift. The lights are flashing when the lift
is in movement.
3.6.17 Service lift doors
3.6.17.1 Service lift door of SWP L
The roller door is closed by pushing the actuator in
the door guard locking switch. The control is
interrupted if the door is not closed properly.
The roller has oval handles, push down to close
the roller. Push up to unlatch and open the roller.
Magnets at the bottom of the roller shutter help to
keep the roller door close.
The roller door is opened when the door guard
locking switch is automatically unlocked when the
cabin is located on a platform with the lift detection
switch activated. In the user control box there is a
platform light, the green light is ON when the lift is
on platform.
In an emergency use (for example power cut,
need of evacuation, rescue) the door guard locking
switch can be unlocked by pushing Door Manual
Release from inside or outside the cabin.

3.6.18 Obstruction switches
3.6.18.1Top obstruction switch
At the top of the cabin a top obstruction switch will
stop upward travel when activated. Downward
travel will still be possible after pressing the reset
button. A top limit device which activates the top
obstruction switch is installed below the traction
wire rope attachment.
!
When the top obstruction switch is
engaged, press the DOWN button until the top
obstruction switch is released.
3.6.18.2 Emergency top limit switch
The emergency top limit switch acts a backup of
the top obstruction switch. If the top obstruction
switch fails to engage against the top limit device,
the emergency top limit switch is triggered and
interrupts control. The service lift will not be able to
ascend nor descend.
Manual descent is possible to disengage the top
obstruction switch or to descend to bottom
platform.
Do not use the service lift until the top
obstruction switch fault has been rectified.
3.6.18.3Bottom obstruction switches
SWP L features one bottom obstruction switch
(S2) and SWP XL features two bottom obstruction
switches (S2 and S3). These switches stop
downward travel if the service lift
– encounters an obstacle or
– touches the ground.
After pressing the reset button, upward travel will
be possible, for instance to remove the obstacle.
In order to put the service lift on the ground, the
bottom obstruction switches can be bypassed
with the bottom obstruction override switch
(located in the main control box in SWP L and in
the cabin control box in SWP XL).
3.6.16 Light with emergency function 1)
An emergency light can be installed to illuminate
inside the lift with and without electric supply.
3.6.20 Maintenance cover of SWP XL
Maintenance cover allows safe and fast inspection
of traction and safety wire ropes from inside the
cabin while travelling.
3.6.21 Anchor points
The service lift is equipped with two anchor points
in SWP L and three in SWP XL. During operation
personnel should hook to the Anchor point.

switch clockwise and hold.
- Press the DOWN button until the service lift
rests on the floor, then release.
5.5 Operation from outside the
cabin (send only configuration)
Transportation of people is forbidden if the
operation is controlled from outside the cabin
Operation by means of the user control box:
a) The key switch ON/OFF should be ON
b) Close the door.
c) Press the reset button
d) Press the UP or DOWN button respectively and
the cabin starts ascending/descending.
Transportation of people is forbidden if the
operation is controlled from outside the cabin
5.6 Operation from platforms (send
and call configuration)
Transportation of people is forbidden if the
operation is controlled from the platforms.
Operation by means of the platform control box:
a) Turn the trapped key switch to ON.
b) Close the door of the cabin and of the platform
fence.

!
When actuating UP or DOWN buttons,
response of cabin is delayed and an acoustic
signal sounds, in order to warn personnel in
the surroundings that cabin is going to move.
5.7 Overload limiter
a) In case of an overload, the lift’s upward travel
should be blocked, and a buzzer should sound in
the connection cabinet.
STOP
Attempting to run in an
overloaded lift is prohibited!
b) Remove enough of the load to make the buzzer stop
and enable upward travel.
!
On entering and starting the lift, the buzzer may
sound briefly. This is due to temporary load peaks occurring as the lift takes off.
The control box is designed not to activate the buzzer
or stop the lift because of peak loads caused by the
cabin swinging.
If the problem persists have an AVANTI expert
adjust the overload limiter (see “Appendix A:
Regulation of overload limiter”).
5.8 Manual descent
If a power failure or an operation fault etc. interrupts the hoist, a manual EMERGENCY descent is
possible from inside the cabin.
1. The lever is attached underneath the cabin top.
Turn it down and break the seal.
2. Push the lever upwards. The service lift moves
downwards. The built-in mechanical overspeed
limiter limits the pace of descent.
3. To stop, simply loosen the lever.
!
During manual descent if the bottom obstruction device hits an obstacle, the brake release
lever is mechanically disengaged so the further
descent is disabled. The system is automatically reset once the obstacle is removed.

The WTG owner must ensure that the results
of all annual and extraordinary inspections
and tests are logged in the “Appendix C:
Operation log sheet”.
!
6.4.2 Fall arrest device
If fall arrest device has engaged, qualified personnel
authorised by AVANTI must verify the safety of the
the fall arrest device, the wire rope, and wire rope
attachment.
The fall arrest device is largely maintenance
free. Clean only when very dirty. Keep free from
dirt and lubricate often. Using too much oil will
not harm the equipment or the gripping function.
Annual test (only by authorized persons):
1. Test the fall arrest device red actuator.

parts of the wire ropes running over sheaves
and wire ropes under frictional wear by external
components.
Note: Optional feature.
Mandatory for AECO versions.
1)
34 AVANTI Service Lift for Wind Turbines
3. When inspecting the wire ropes, consider the
following points:
• type and number of wire breaks,
• position and time sequence of wire breaks,
• decrease of the wire rope diameter during
operation,
• corrosion, abrasion, deformation,
• influence of heat, and
• operating time.
4. Check that the traction, and safety wire ropes
are fed correctly around the 2 wire rope guide
wheels.
5. Check that the wire rope ends are coiled
separately under the bottom platform and tied
with at least 3 cable ties.
6. Check that the guiding wire rope tensioning
system is correctly installed and that the wire
rope locks and fixes are properly fastened.
7. Check that the compression spring on the
safety wire rope is correctly installed and that the
wire rope locks are fastened
8. Check that the counterweight on the traction
wire rope is properly fastened. The traction wire
rope coil and counterweight shall be able to
rotate freely. Do not attach it to a fixed part.
9. Check that the guiding wire ropes are correctly
tensioned as described in the instructions of
tensioning the guiding wire ropes.
!
!
Record any visible change of the condition of the
wire rope on the “Appendix C: Operation log sheet”,
and monitor closely throughout time.
6.4.3.1 Cleaning
1. Open the top lift hatch to access the wire ropes
from inside the service lift.
2. Use a cloth to wipe off the old grease from the
wire ropes.
3. Close the top lift hatch and ascend the service
lift 1 or 2 m.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until the entire length of the
wire ropes is clean.
Always keep the traction, safety and guiding wire ropes
clean and slightly greasy.
Only use mechanical means to clean the dirty wire
ropes, i.e. a cloth or a hand brush. Do not use solvents
or other detergents.
6.4.3.2 Lubrication
If the distance between platforms is more than 20
m perform the following procedure:
1. Ascend the service lift 20 m.
2. Open the top lift hatch.
3. Through the top lift hatch and with a spray can,
apply lubricant on the wire ropes.
4. Close the top lift hatch and ascend the service
lift 1 or 2 m.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the entire length of the
wire ropes is lubricated.
!
!
!
!
6. Finally, perform two complete ascends and
descends in order to distribute the new lubricant
evenly along the wire ropes.
If the distance between platforms is equal or less
than 20 m perform the following procedure:
1. A first person ascends in the service lift several
meters so that the wire ropes are accessible from
the platform.
2. From the platform and with a spray can, a
second person applies lubricant on the wire
ropes.
3. Both persons ascend in the service lift to the
next platform.
4. One person egresses to the next platform.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 on each platform until the
entire length of the wire ropes is lubricated.
6. Perform two complete ascends and descends
in order to distribute the new lubricant evenly
along the wire ropes.
Only use specialised wire rope lubricants. Do not use
lubricants based on lithium soap grease or bitumen.
Do not use disulphide-containing lubricants like
Molycote ®.
Apply lubricant using a spray can, brush, drip applicator or pressurized device.
Pay special attention to sections of the wire rope where
dehydration or denaturation of the lubricant can be
seen.
Re-lubricate the wire ropes before they show signs of
corrosion or run dry.
•
A poor lubrication leads to corrosion and to a
quick wear of components.
•
An excessive lubrication leads to dirt agglomeration on the wire rope surface. As a result, this can
lead to quick wear of wire rope, sheaves and drum.
•
A correct lubrication keeps the efficiency factor of
the wire rope, protects against corrosion, helps to
elongate their lifetime significantly and ensures a
safe operation.
6.4.3.3 Measuring of the wire rope diameter
When measuring the diameter of the wire ropes, use a
digital calliper with broad measuring faces.
User’s, Maintenance 35
and Installation Manual
!
!
In general, measure the diameter of the wire rope at
each WTG tower platform, and under the service lift,
where the wire rope is less loaded. Specifically, if a
wire rope wear is detected, measure on the affected
area.
Kinks resulting
from counterweight
of traction wire rope
not being able to
rotate freely.
Rotate the calliper around the wire rope to measure the
minimum and maximum wire rope diameter at each
measurement point.
Wire rope strap/
loop,
which cannot be
unwound
6.4.3.4 Discard criteria
Loop knot forming
when a wire loop is
pulled tight
The discard criteria of the wire ropes shall be according to ISO 4309: Cranes - Wire ropes - Care and
Maintenance, inspection and discard.
Determine and eliminate the cause before installing a
new wire rope.
