# 1800 VA Elevator Automatic Rescue Device (ARD)
The **1800 VA Automatic Rescue Device (ARD)** is a reliable emergency power backup system designed to automatically rescue passengers trapped inside an elevator during a mains power failure. When the normal power supply is interrupted, the ARD provides temporary power to the elevator control system and moves the elevator safely to the nearest suitable floor, allowing passengers to exit safely.
### Key Features

### How It Works
During normal operation, the ARD remains in standby mode and continuously maintains the backup batteries. When a power failure occurs, the ARD automatically switches to battery power and supplies the required emergency power to the elevator system. The elevator then performs its programmed rescue operation and brings the car to the nearest accessible floor.
### Benefits
**Enhanced Passenger Safety • Automatic Rescue • Reliable Backup Power • Reduced Entrapment Risk • Easy Installation • Low Maintenance**
> **Important:** ARD compatibility depends on the elevator controller, motor/drive system, motor capacity, battery configuration and rescue operating requirements. The controller and motor specifications should be verified before installation.
**Recommended for:** Elevator emergency rescue applications requiring an **1800 VA backup capacity**.
