cars travel only to the highest car call and then reverse direction to the lobby. Cars
bypass hall calls, stopping only in response to car calls. This operation remains in
effect until a car arrives at the lobby.

This feature is a variable of Moderate Incoming Traffic operation. It provides for the
selection of elevators for dispatch at the lobby in a prearranged sequence if more
than one car is at the lobby at once.
Variable Interval Dispatching
This feature is part of Moderate Incoming Traffic operation. The assigned car with

The car, while responding to a Firefighters’ Phase I operation, returns to the
“alternate” landing if the smoke detector at the designated return landing is
activated.

applicable codes. In the U.S. this feature includes the call cancel button in the cab.

traveling car stops at the next landing. The car responds to car calls, but will only
open its doors due to constant pressure on the door open button. The doors will
