Test Mode It is the responsibility of maintenance personnel to be certain that the eleva-
tor is empty before entering test mode. In test mode, the elevator doors will remain closed. The
car runs at contract speed, responding to car calls placed through the controller touch screen.
Recall Four general purpose recall inputs are provided. Each is independently configu-
rable. See Recall Switches on page 2-15.
Emergency Modes of Operation
Emergency modes of operation include:
•Fire Recall, page 1-9
• Earthquake Operation, page 1-9
•Pit Flood Operation, page 1-9
• Emergency Power Operation, page 1-9
• Emergency Dispatch Operation, page 1-9
Fire Recall Fire recall operation (Fire Phase I) recalls the elevator to a designated fire
recall floor (main or alternate) and removes it from passenger operation. Fire recall can be initi-
ated by smoke detectors or by a fire recall switch.
At the recall floor, the car will wait with doors closed or open (as configured). The car may enter
fire phase II operation automatically or by activation of a key switch inside the car.
Earthquake Operation Earthquake operation affects all automatic modes of opera-
tion. When a seismic input becomes active, the car will immediately stop and determine if it is
appropriate to allow the elevator to move at reduced speed in accordance with the earthquake
restrictions of the jurisdiction.
Pit Flood Operation If a flooded pit is detected and pit flood is activated, the car will be
prevented from servicing one or more lower floors (depending on job site configuration of the
controller).
Emergency Power Operation Emergency power operation, if provided, is activated
when normal power loss is detected. Emergency power may be provided by a building generator
or by a battery powered rescue device.
If power is provided by a generator, the car will pause until generator power is stable and then
recall to a designated floor and open its doors for passenger exit. If the generator has sufficient
power, one or more cars may be configured to run on emergency power.
If power is provided by the MCE Traction Auxiliary Power Supply (TAPS), the auxiliary power
supply provides three phase backup power, directs the controller to move the car safely to a
landing, and provides power to open the elevator doors. If the elevator controller chooses a
direction that draws power beyond a customer-preset level, the system will direct the controller
to pause the car, then reverse direction to the nearest landing, again providing power to open
the doors and allow passengers to exit.
Emergency Dispatch Operation If a communications failure prevents hall calls
from being registered, the car will enter emergency dispatch operation. In this mode, the con-
troller generates car calls, sequentially dispatching the car to floors and allowing any passengers
at those floors to enter and place a car call. This operation allows the elevator to continue ser-
vice to the building in the absence of normal hall call registration. When the hall calls are again
able to communicate, the elevator will resume normal passenger operation.
