Abstract

An emergency control system for an elevator has a circuit for producing a signal in response to a relatively small vibration of a structure in which the elevator is installed; a first circuit responsive to the signal for controlling the operation of the elevator under a predetermined mode for a first predetermined time interval; and a second circuit for disabling the signal producing circuit simultaneously with the start of operation of the first circuit and enabling the signal producing circuit for a second predetermined time interval longer than the first predetermined time interval.
