Operating Mode Descriptions
1-13
Inspection Operation
In inspection, a car operates at the set inspection speed using up and down buttons or momen-
tary switches. The car will stop as soon as the buttons are released. Inspection operation may be
controlled from three locations. For safety purposes, locations have a priority:
• Top of car: When the cartop inspection switch input (INCT on the HC-CTL-2 board) is
active, operation from the controller or from the car panel is disabled.
• In-Car: In car inspection may be from built-in COP switches or from the optional hand-
held user interface. When the in-car inspection input (INCP on the HC-CTL-2 board) is
active, operation from the controller inspection station is disabled.
• Machine Room Inspection: Inspection operation using the switches in the elevator con-
troller. Available only when cartop and/or in-car inspection is not active.
Cartop Inspection
In this mode, the car is operated by pushing the cartop UP or DOWN and ENABLE buttons
simultaneously. These buttons are generally provided through a third-party inspection station
wired to inspection operation inputs in the elevator controller. There will also be a key switch
that enables/disables inspection operation. In cartop inspection, doors will open (or close) if
both UP and DOWN buttons are pressed for more than two seconds while the car is in a door
zone.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the access floor
• Enable hoistway access operation using the in-car switch
• Move the car down until the access limit is opened
• Top access must prevent the car from moving down beyond the point where the cross-
head is even with the hoistway entrance sill.
• Set the cartop switch to Inspection before stepping onto the cartop.
• Use ENABLE and UP or DOWN buttons to run the car from the cartop.
In Car Inspection
In this mode, the car is typically operated using a locked sub-panel in the COP that provides the
inspection key switch and direction buttons. Car doors will open (or close) if both UP and
DOWN buttons are pressed for more than two seconds while the car is in a door zone.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the desired floor.
• Place the car on in-car inspection.
• Press and hold both UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously to close the elevator doors.
• Use UP or DOWN buttons to run the car.
