[0046] Generally speaking, the operation state of the personnel conveying device includes
a power-on state, a starting operation state, a normal shutdown state and an abnormal
shutdown state of the personnel conveying device, and states in which the personnel
conveying device operates at a rated speed and at an idle speed. For the personnel
conveying device running at a rated speed and at an idle speed, it is called a first
operation state, and for the power-on state, the starting operation state, the normal
shutdown state and the abnormal shutdown state of the personnel conveying device,
it is called a second operation state. The user can select different lighting themes
for the first operation state, as described below. The user cannot select the lighting
theme for the second operation state, and the lighting theme for the second operation
state is pre-stored in the lighting controller, for example, it is set at the factory
or modified by authorized personnel after leaving the factory.
[0047] For the first operation state in which the personnel conveying device running at
a rated speed and an idling speed, the user can select different lighting themes via
a personalized setting sub-module 41 and five predetermined theme modules of the theme
setting module. In the personalized setting sub-module, an user can set lighting themes
