Hospital Service
Please refer to “HOSPITAL EMERG. OPERATION?” on page 4-45. Hospital service allows a car
to be recalled to any of one or more assigned floors using a call button 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 4-42. 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.
Seismic Operation
Please refer to “EARTHQUAKE OPERATION?” on page 4-48. Seismic operation is entered into
automatically if counterweight derailment is detected (CWI input) or if the seismic sensor input
(SSI) is activated. If the CWI input is triggered, the car comes to a full stop, moves at reduced
speed (150 FPM or less) to the nearest floor in the direction away from the counterweight, lev-
els, opens its doors to allow passengers to exit, then shuts down.
If only the SSI input is activated, the car will continue to the next available floor, open its doors,
and shut down. A programmable option is available to allow the car to run on normal, auto-
matic operation or fire service at reduced speed (150FPM or less).
Mode Exit
• After ensuring that the hoistway is clear and all equipment is undamaged and operating
properly:
• Press the EQ Reset button on the Motion Processor Interface (MPI) board.
Modifiers
Some fire codes allow the car to be run in fireman service even though the CWI or SSI input has
been activated.
Earthquake operating profile overrides the Emergency power profile.
