Machine Room Heat Detectors Activated, MR HEAT DETECTORS
Description: The machine room heat detector input is activated. The fire warning light will flash until all heat
detectors have been reset. The fire-warning buzzer will sound until the car is shutdown at a floor.
Car Reaction: A car that is parked at a floor will open its doors and shut down. A car in motion will proceed in
the current direction to the next available floor where the heat detector is not tripped. If all heat detectors in
the current direction are tripped, the car will reverse direction and proceed to the first floor where the heat
detector is not tripped. If again all heat detectors are tripped, the car will proceed to the main fire recall floor
unless the car is also on Fire Service, in which case the car will proceed to the appropriate fire recall floor.
Once the car is stopped at a floor it will automatically open its doors and shut down. Then, if the machine
room or hoistway heat detectors are active, a signal is provided to disconnect the main power line and/or
activate the sprinklers where available. Please refer to “Car Operation - Heat Detectors” on page 9-90.
