Abstract: A sensor assembly for detecting the presence of a human within an elevator system includes a sensor and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a connecting member affixed to the sensor and a mounting bracket movably coupled to the connecting member via an interface. The interface includes a tooling identifying relative positions of the sensor to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A safety net system is provided for an elevator system including an elevator pit and multiple points of ingress to the elevator pit. The safety net system includes multiple sensors arranged in multiple planes encompassing the multiple points of ingress to perform sensing and to generate data corresponding to sensing results and a processor coupled to the multiple sensors to analyze whether the data indicates a person entering the elevator pit and to take an action based on results of the analysis.

Abstract: An elevator system, having: an elevator car, a hoistway, and a pit; a sensor assembly, including a sensor configured to capture and process images; an elevator safety chain; wherein the sensor assembly is configured to: monitor in first sensing mode to detect whether an object is located in a first area of the elevator system; after the object is detected in the first area in the first sensing mode, monitor in a second sensing mode that is more sensitive than the first sensing mode to detect the object in the second sensitivity mode; and upon detecting the object in the second sensitivity mode, the elevator safety chain is opened by the sensor assembly to stop the elevator car.

Abstract: An elevator system, having: a car that operates normal and inspection modes; a sensor assembly; a safety chain; wherein while in the normal mode, the sensor assembly: monitors in a first sensing mode to detect whether an object is within a first area, and then monitors in a second sensing mode that is more sensitive than the first sensing mode to again detect the object; and upon determining that the object is potentially human, the safety chain is opened; and while in the inspection mode, the sensor assembly: bypasses the first sensing mode and monitors in the second sensing mode to detect whether the object is located in the first area; and upon detecting that the object is located in the first area, the safety chain is opened.

Abstract: An assembly associated with detection of a human within an elevator hoistway includes a sensor assembly and a position indicator affixed to the sensor assembly and operable to emit a visual light pattern. The position indicator is movable with the sensor assembly to indicate to a user when the sensor assembly is in a desired mounting position.
