Emergency Power Operation
Emergency or standby power operation requires a backup power source. For large buildings,
this is typically a diesel or gasoline powered generator. When this is not practical, backup power
for a limited, rescue operation may be provided by a battery-powered system like the Reynolds
& Reynolds Powervator EPS.
Generator Backup
When power is lost, the elevator will come to a full stop. When emergency/backup power comes
on line, the elevator will be moved to a designated recall floor and the doors will open to allow
passengers to exit. The elevator will remain at the recall floor unless it is designated to run
under generator power. Please refer to “Extra Features Menu Options” on page 5-48.
EPS Backup
When power is lost, the elevator will come to a full stop. When battery power becomes available,
the EXMLT input is activated and the elevator will be moved to the bottom floor. At the floor,
the doors will cycle, allowing passengers to exit, and then close. The car will remain out of ser-
vice until commercial power is again available.
Car Recall
Inputs may be provided to allow the car to be recalled to a specified floor.
• CTF: Car To Floor - This is a “spare” input that may be assigned to the HC-CTL-2 board or
to a Universal I/O board as configured for the job. The floor to which the car is returned is
set by the Car to Floor Return Floor parameter in the Extra Features menu. Please refer to
“Extra Features Menu Options” on page 5-48.
• When activated, causes the car to stop responding to hall calls. Existing car calls will be
serviced. New car calls will not be registered.
• When existing calls have been serviced, the car will move to the return floor, open then
close its doors, and remove itself from service.
• CTL: Car to Lobby - This is a “spare” input that may be assigned to the HC-CTL-2 board or
to a Universal I/O board as configured for the job. The floor to which the car is returned is
set using the Lobby Floor parameter in the Basic Features menu. Please refer to “Basic
Feature Menu Options” on page 5-17.
• When activated, causes the car to stop responding to hall calls. Existing car calls will be
serviced. New car calls will not be registered.
• When existing calls have been serviced, the car will move to the return floor, open then
close its doors, and remove itself from service.
