Inspection Operation
In inspection, a car operates at the set inspection speed using up and down buttons or momen-
tary switches. The car will stop as soon as the buttons are released. Inspection operation may be
controlled from three locations. For safety purposes, locations have a priority:
• Top of Car: When the cartop inspection switch input (INCT on the HC-CTL-2 board) is
active, operation from the controller or from the car panel is disabled.
• In-Car: In car inspection may be from built-in COP switches. When the in-car inspection
input (INCP on the HC-CTL-2 board) is active, operation from the controller inspection
station is disabled.Hoistway Access: Used to move the car up at the bottom floor to gain
access to the PIT or down at the top floor to gain access to the cartop.
• Machine Room Inspection: Inspection operation using the switches in the elevator con-
troller. Available only when cartop and in-car inspection are not active.
Cartop Inspection
Cartop Inspection has the highest priority of the inspection modes. When it is active, the car
will not operate from any other inspection station.
A switch located in the cartop inspection station places the car on cartop inspection. When this
switch is activated, automatic car and door operation are immediately terminated. Doors in
transit when cartop inspection is activated will immediately stop. Additional constant-pressure
switches on the cartop allow the car to be moved at inspection speed (not to exceed 150 fpm).
In this mode, the car is operated by pushing the cartop UP or DOWN and ENABLE buttons
simultaneously. These buttons are generally provided through a third-party inspection station
wired to inspection operation inputs in the elevator controller. There will also be a key switch
that enables/disables inspection operation.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the access floor.
• Enable Hoistway Access operation using the in car switch.
• Move the car down until the access limit is opened.
• Top access must prevent the car from moving down beyond the point where the crosshead
is even with the hoistway entrance sill.
• Set the cartop switch to Inspection before stepping onto the cartop.
• Use ENABLE and UP or DOWN buttons to run from the cartop.
In Car Inspection
In Car or Car Panel Inspection has the second highest priority of the inspection modes. When it
is active, the car will not operate in Hoistway Access or Machine Room Inspection.
A switch located in the car operating panel places the car on Car Panel Inspection. When this
switch is activated, automatic operation is immediately terminated. Doors in transit when Car
Panel Inspection is activated will immediately stop. While on Car Panel Inspection, door opera-
tion requires constant pressure operation of door open/close buttons. Additional constant-
pressure switches allow the car to be moved at inspection speed (not to exceed 150 fpm).
In this mode, the car is typically operated using a locked sub-panel in the COP that provides the
inspection key switch and direction buttons.
