General description
LifTrack is a real-time monitoring system for lift systems Equipped with predictive analysis functions, it provides the information needed for routine and preventive maintenance, regardless of the brand of lift
- LifTrack has:
- 2 sensors (accelerometer and barometer)
- 4 digital inputs
- 1 analogue input
- 1 relay output (NO/NC, bistable)
LifTrack (installed integral with the car) processes the data collected from the sensors and inputs and forwards it, via CAN-bus connection, to the alarm system or the Esse-ti gateway already present on the installation. Via data connection, the information is then sent to an Esse-ti server and is made available in the e-stant web application
- Main information provided by the sensors:
- car position on the floor
- journeys made
- number of stops on each floor
- number of reversals
- average and instantaneous speed
- average and instantaneous acceleration
- distance covered
- time of journey
- temperature
- pressure
Examples of information that can be detected by connecting the inputs to the control panel or external sensor:
- door status
- lighting efficiency (using light sensors)
- presence of people inside the car (using movement sensors)
- presence of water in the pit (using flood sensors)
- presence of smoke (using smoke detectors)
- overloading (using weight sensors on the car floor)
The integrated relay and the relays of the Esse-ti alarm system or gateway allow active maintenance to be carried out remotely or locally (according to pre-programmed logic)

Installation
- Fix LifTrack to the car top
- Connect LifTrack to the Esse-ti alarm system or gateway already present on the installation via CAN-bus
- Move the car to the lowest floor and place the Reed sensor on the roof; fix the metal plate to the wall and center the magnetic disk, as shown in the picture
- Connect the Reed sensor to one of LifTrack’s inputs (e.g. IN1)
- For the initial self-learning procedure only, connect a lift motion signal to LifTrack (e.g. to input IN2)
- NOTE: in the absence of a lift motion signal, it is possible to connect a button to be held down while the lift is in movement
- Power on LifTrack
Configuration
LifTrack can be configured:
- remotely via an e-stant web application (data connection provided by the Esse-ti alarm system or gateway present on the installation)
- locally via micro USB port and e-stant software

- WARNING: before clicking on Yes, make sure that the car is at the lowest floor
- Click on Yes to confirm
- Within 15 minutes, run the self-learning procedure described in the next paragraph At the end of the procedure, the dashboard displays “Done”.
Self-learning procedure
LifTrack requires the self-learning procedure to acquire information on the number and position of floors Procedure:
- move the car from the lowest to the highest floor, stopping at each floor for the time required by the opening and closing of the doors (if a pushbutton is connected to input 2, press it every time the car moves from one floor to another and release it when the car stops at the floor)
- ]once you have reached the highest floor, you shall move the car directly to the lowest floor without intermediate stops
Note If a pushbutton has been used in the absence of a lift motion signal, the pushbutton must be disconnected at the end of the self-learning procedure and the input
programming must be cleared:
