Internet Protocol (IP) Close Circuit Television (IP CCTV) better image quality in comparison to Analog CCTV. Connected using RJ45 on Power Over Ethernet (POE) transmission wherein high definition and better image resolution is excellent. POE also is superb in long distance application as compares with analog CCTV. FRB Elektromek can integrate wireless IP CCTV using “Wifi” Bridging as far as 15km distance between IP Cameras and Network Video Recording (NVR) module. This is ideal for elevator car monitoring CCTV wherein cables or wires are no longer needed as it tends to worn-out, flexed, bent easily and consequently break over a short period of time. Wireless wifi bridging eliminates physical wire connection for elevators serving 10th floors and above. FRB Elektromek can offer you a CCTV system that fits for your requirement and budget. High-end or economic but reliable cctv component selection is also an option. Well then, give us a call.
In connection to the current threat of COVID-19 viral spread through touching contaminated surfaces wherein the usual contact in hotels and homes are on door knobs, wall light switches and remote controls. A voice activated smart automation of lights, air conditioning unit and entertainment appliances lessens the risk of contracting infectious disease.
The current challenges of hotels & homes towards adapting Smart Automation is mainly for energy management or energy savings, convenience, sanitary, elegance, luxurious experience of guests and compliance to the mandate of the Department of Tourism.
Voice Activated Room Automation can control the lights, TV and Audio and Air conditioning unit on-off, volume or gain adjustment, channel & mode selection and cooling adjustment without a touch by only using voice commands to Smart hubs like Siri, Alexa or Google.
The full package design for hotels for energy economy also includes motion sensing activation of electrical supply for rooms. This is interlocked to RF door card power switch. Thus, even if door card is present or inserted without occupants inside, the power supply inside the room is de-energized and only energize once an occupant is detected.
FRB Elektromek Automation Services is able to integrate these hotel room utilities and appliances user-friendly and maintenance wise. The brands above are the standard SMART products we used for automation.
FRB Elektromek is able to provide technical support 24/7 via phone call and response within 24 hours to site for issues needing a must attention with minimal charge.
Should you have requirements to upgrade your hotel room or home features into a SMART one, please contact us directly.
It is the most terrifying and traumatizing experience riding inside an elevator when an earthquake occur. There is possibility one could be entrapped inside the elevator in the event and thereafter. The worst case scenario is – the car and counter weight frame can be derailed allowing both mechanical parts to sway freely. Thus, increasing the risk of collision of both inside the shaft if the elevator keeps running that may eventually turn out to fatalities and further equipment damages.
The ASME code A17.1-2016 also known as ” Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators” requires all lift to have a feature for emergency Earthquake Operation (EQO). Wherein, the lift at the detection of a moderate seismic event will directly approach, stop and open its door at the nearest landing allowing passenger to exit the car as soon as possible.
This Earthquake Operation is a built-in feature for all ASME A17.1 compliant elevators. However, the seismic sensing device (SEISMIC SWITCH) is not included for most installation. So, for elevators which do not have yet a seismic switch, the Earthquake Operation feature cannot be activated in times of tremors.
Extra Low & Low Seismic Switch made in Japan
FRB Elektromek Automation Services offers a reliable SEISMIC SWITCH calibrated to detect both low and extra low earthquakes, quality assured and tested because it is Japan made.
Should you have requirements for this, please feel free to contact us.

We supply and install building and industrial electro-mechanical instruments. Our team of professionals is there to provide you the most convenient and economical solutions as per your requirements. We do automation system design and assembly.
FRB Elektromek Automation Services makes sure to deliver and finish the job earlier and direct. Unlike other big and process-oriented companies, wherein the customer’s order is always delayed due to the time they spent on processes of approvals and paper works before they place the order to their supplier, in FRB Elektromek by the time you made the down payment and approval, you can expect that the order of your parts is on its way. Our customer support notifies you ahead of time the status of your order.
FRB Elektromek Automation Services uses the following products below in systems integration and automation.
Elevator control systems are complicated and sensitive circuitry since, most control modules used nowadays are microprocessor based. Therefore, delicate to transient voltages and currents or to power quality(Harmonics, swells, transient surges, phase failure, overvoltage and undervoltage, and lightning events) . The cost associated for replacing circuit boards and drives is always expensive and these events are totally unpredictable.
Below figure depicts the abnormality of a typical power supply of an equipment.

SERVICE PROVIDERS TERMS FOR DESTRUCTIVE POWER EVENTS
Most Elevator OEM provider on their service contracts on customers whether it be comprehensive or non-comprehensive, does not and will not cover warranty of parts and performance when catastrophic events like lightning, surge caused by local utility provider or internal to the building power disturbances transpires. The cost incurred due to these events will always be shouldered by building owner or management. Even to defect not associated with power quality most of the times is blamed by service technicians on this issue.
COST INCURRED IN POWER DISTURBANCES
Major surges, transient voltages and lightning strikes can destroy and actively deteriorate sensitive electronic circuit elements of
Controller modules cost about P60K to P150K pesos while, P200K to P500K for drives depending on its corresponding capacity. These elevator parts are not cheap so it is best recommended that equipment should be protected to avoid any circumstantial cost due to part defect, interruption of operation and legal liability or lawsuit when an accident happens.
MITIGATION AND SOLUTION TO POWER QUALITY AND MAJOR CATASTHROPIC EVENTS
Most elevator company will insist that their units are substantially protected from these events. But, it is always wise and economical to isolate and protect elevator with Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) and Surge Protective Device (SPD) since AVR and SPD are way cheaper than the expensive OEM parts.
A superb design and reliability tested AVR can eliminate these voltage dips, swells, over-voltage and under-voltage events. However, it can not filter transient and surge voltages which last about less than a millisecond. Commercial available AVR has a typical response time of 0.1 of a second. This is where a Surge Protective Device (SPD) or Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS) is necessary to cut-off surge and transient voltages from reaching the protected load, as in the case-the elevator.
Fig.2 Typical surge or transient voltage event which only last about 3/60th of a second
Since, the market is flooded with cheap and unreliable AVR, TVSS and SPD’s. In which, in some cases even cause defects to elevators. FRB Elektromek guarantees to specify only the appropriate size, best and cost-efficient brands of AVR and SPD already tested in elevator application for years.
Should you have requirements on protecting your lift equipment, FRB Elektromek has a solution for that. You may contact us for free consultation and sizing of AVR and SPDs.
