A monitoring system for a passenger conveyor including: at least one acceleration sensor provided on a movable component of the passenger conveyor, wherein the moveable component moves in a closed loop path (P) when the passenger conveyor is in use; a fault detection sensor associated with the or each acceleration sensor and configured to provide data indicative of a fault in the moveable. The monitoring system includes a controller configured to: receive data from the or each acceleration sensor; monitor a gravity vector (V) of the or each acceleration sensor; determine a direction of travel of the or each acceleration sensor; determine a current location of the or each acceleration sensor based on the monitored gravity vector (V) and the determined direction of travel; detect a fault from the data received from the or each fault detection sensor; identify a location of the detected fault.
A monitoring system (40) for a passenger conveyor (10) comprising at least one acceleration sensor (42) provided on a movable component (22, 26, 30) of the passenger conveyor (10), wherein the moveable component (22, 26, 30) moves in a closed loop path (P) when the passenger conveyor (10) is in use;
A method (100) of monitoring a passenger conveyor (10), comprising:
