When the hospital emergency momentary call switch is activated at any floor, the hospital
emergency call registered light will illuminate at that floor only, and the nearest available eleva-
tor will respond to the hospital emergency call. All car calls within the selected car will be can-
celed and any landing calls which had previously been assigned to that car will be transferred to
the other car. If the selected car is traveling away from the hospital emergency call, it will slow
down and stop at the nearest floor without opening the doors, reverse direction, and proceed
nonstop to the hospital emergency floor. If the selected car is traveling toward the hospital
emergency floor, it shall proceed nonstop to that floor. At the time of selection, if the car hap-
pens to slow down for a stop, it will stop without opening the doors and then start immediately
toward the hospital emergency floor.
When the car reaches the hospital emergency floor, it will remain with doors open for a pre-
determined time interval. After this interval has expired, if the car has not been placed on in-car
Hospital Emergency Service Operation, the car will automatically return to normal service.
A hospital emergency key switch will be located in each car operating station for selecting in-car
Hospital Emergency Service Operation. Upon activation of the key switch, the car will be ready
to accept a call for any floor, and after the doors are closed, will proceed nonstop to that floor.
Returning the key switch to the normal position will restore the car to normal service.
Either car selected to respond to a hospital emergency call will be removed from automatic ser-
vice and will accept no additional calls, emergency or otherwise, until it completes the initial
hospital emergency function. If both cars are out of service and unable to answer an emergency
call, the hospital emergency call registered light will not illuminate.
Four outputs are available on the first HC-UIO board used for the hospital emergency service
calls. Hospital Emergency Operation (HEO) will flash once the car has been selected to respond
to a hospital emergency call and will remain flashing until the in-car hospital switch is returned
to normal or the time interval that the car must wait for the in-car switch to be turned ON
expires. Hospital Emergency Warning Indicator (HWI) will remain steadily ON for a car on
Independent Service when the hospital call is registered. Hospital Emergency Select (HSEL)
will remain steadily ON, indicating that the car has been selected to answer a hospital call, until
the in-car hospital switch is turned ON or the time interval expires. Hospital Emergency Phase
2 (HOSPH2) will remain ON, indicating that the car has arrived at the floor where the hospital
call was registered, until the in-car hospital switch is returned to normal or the time interval
that the car must wait for the in-car switch to be turned ON expires.
