TAPS Backup
When power is lost, the elevator will come to a full stop. When battery power becomes available,
the elevator will be moved at reduced speed to the nearest floor in the direction determined by
TAPS settings. At the floor, the doors will cycle, allowing passengers to exit, and then close. The
car will remain out of service until commercial power is again available and the TAPS unit
switches the car from battery power back to normal power. Please refer to the MCE TAPS man-
ual or data sheets for detailed information.
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 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 4-44.
• When activated, causes the car to stop responding to hall calls. Existing car calls will be
serviced before or after recall depending on the setting of Retain Calls (see note
below). New car calls will not be registered.
• At the return floor, the car will 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 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 Fea-
tures Menu” on page 4-13.
• When activated, causes the car to stop responding to hall calls. Existing car calls will be
serviced before or after recall depending on the setting of Retain Calls (see note
below). New car calls will not be registered
• At the lobby floor, the car will open then close its doors and remove itself from service.
Note: RETAIN CALLS?: There is a function in the Extra Features menu that determines if reg-
istered car calls are serviced before or after recall. Please refer to “RETAIN CALLS ON CTL /
CTF?” on page 4-50.
Capture for Test
CTST: Capture for Test - This is a “spare” input that may be assigned to the HC-CTL board or to
a Universal I/O board as configured for the job.
• When this input is activated, the car will stop responding to hall calls and disable its gongs
but continue to service car calls.
• The intent of the input is to allow maintenance personnel to capture the car while causing
as little disruption to service as possible.
Test Mode
Test mode allows the car to be run on automatic operation without operating the doors. When
Test mode is active, door opening circuitry is deactivated and hall calls will not be registered.
• Enter Test mode by placing the TEST/NORMAL switch on the HC-CTL board in the TEST
position. (The car will not enter Test mode if Inspection is active.)
• When Test mode is active, the controller LCD will display TEST MODE.
