Operating Mode Descriptions
1-17
Hospital Service Operation
Hospital service allows a car to be recalled to any of one or more assigned floors using a call but-
ton at the floor. Once at the floor, the car may be boarded by medical personnel and placed in
restricted service, using an in-car switch, to respond to a medical emergency.
• Recall: Floors and openings (if the car has front and rear doors) are designated as hospital
service through Hospital Emerg Operation parameters in the Extra Features Menu. Please
refer to “Extra Features Menu Options” on page 5-48. When a designated call button is
activated, the car will recall to the floor.
• The car will immediately cancel all registered calls, move to the call floor, and open its
doors.
• A Timer Menu function, Hospital Emergency Timer, allows a timer to be set for a
range of up to 10 minutes. After a car recalls to the designated floor, it will remain
there until the timer expires, after which it will return itself to automatic passenger
service if the in-car, hospital service switch has not been activated.
• Operation: Once the in-car switch (HOSP input assigned through the Spare Inputs Menu)
is activated, the car is in restricted service and will accept only calls assigned through the
car operating panel.
• When the in-car switch is deactivated, the car returns to normal service.
Fire Service Operation
There are many different fire codes that restrict or change elevator operation under fire condi-
tions. Please refer to “Fire Service Menu Options ” on page 5-20. In general, fire service pro-
ceeds in two stages; Phase I Emergency Recall and Phase II Emergency In-Car Operation.
When a fire sensor or switch is activated:
• The elevator will recall to the designated main or alternate recall floor. (Main if fire
detected on any floor other than the main floor; Alternate if fire detected on the main
recall floor. Or, as directed by a manually activated Fire switch.)
• The elevator will open its doors to allow any passengers to exit, then remain at the recall
floor until the in-car firefighter switch is activated. Once the in-car switch is activated the
car will run on Fire Phase II operation as allowed by the selected fire code.
