Safety String Connection Information
The switch on the bottom tape mount must be connected in the hoistway safety string as shown
in your job drawings. If the switch is not shown in your drawings, connect it as shown below.
Figure 2.24 Tape Switch Connection
Recommendations
If you install the bottom hanger and safety switch before hanging the tape, go ahead and test the
switch function. When opened, the switch should shut off power to the machine and the brake
causing the elevator to immediately stop.
After testing switch functionality, use a piece of wire or string to temporarily hold the switch in
the closed position so that you can run the car on car top inspection to hang the tape.
Do not temporarily jumper the switch. It is far too easy to forget and leave the jumper in
place.
