PASSENGER SENSOR FOR AN ESCALATOR OR MOVING WALK

摘要

A passenger sensor for a conveyor includes a transmitter assembly (34) that is positioned within a channel (48) in the conveyor balustrade (22). The transmitter assembly (34) includes a plurality of transmitters (38) that are spaced along a cable to form a transmitter chain. Each transmitter (38) includes a module (44) and a connector attached thereto. The transmitter assembly (34) is disposed within the channel (48) without the need for mounting hardware or openings within the balustrade for the passage of the cable. In a particular embodiment, a receiver assembly (34) is disposed in a channel in the opposite balustrade in a similar manner.
