HYDROFIT™ Owner’s Information Manual
WARNING: The use and ownership of this work is defined in the legend upon the front page hereof.
Firemen’s Service/Special Emergency Service allows control of elevator operation in
the event of fire or other time-sensitive emergencies, particularly where immediate
access to specific building areas or floors is necessary. Fireman’s Service has two
separate operations, or phases.
Firefighter’s Service Phase 1
When a smoke or heat sensor is activated on any level (except the main fire return
floor), a signal is sent to the elevator control system to return the elevator to the
main fire return floor or main designated return landing. The elevator then proceeds
immediately to this landing and parks with the door open.
If a smoke or heat sensor is activated at the main fire return floor, the elevator is
placed in a “fire recall” status; however, the elevator will proceed to the alternate fire
return floor, and park with the door open.
Firefighter’s Service Phase 2
This feature is activated by the fire fighters using a keyswitch in the car, which
places the elevator under their control. This feature includes the call cancel button
and keyswitch in car. When the call cancel button is activated, all registered calls
are cancelled and the car stops at the next landing.
Emergency Power Option
In the event of a power failure, your building’s emergency power supply operates the
elevator during the failure, but only if you have selected the Emergency Power
Option for your elevators.
If your elevator system's Emergency Power Option is set to the AUTO mode, each
car will automatically travel directly to the lobby (or the previously designated floor)
and the doors will open to allow passengers to exit. After the cars arrive at the
lobby, they remain parked there until one or more cars are selected to provide
service under Emergency Power.
If your elevator system's Emergency Power Option does not have an AUTO mode,
or if that mode is not turned on, the cars may be brought to the lobby by manually
selecting them, one at a time, using the emergency power strip switch.
