Operating Mode Definitions
This section describes non-automatic modes, attendant modes, automatic modes, emergency,
and learn modes of operation.
Non-Automatic Modes
Non-automatic modes include:
• Cartop Inspection,
• Car Panel Inspection,
• Hoistway Access Inspection,
• Machine Room Inspection,
• Construction Mode,
• Learn Modes,
In any of these modes, the car is manually operated and will not respond to building demand of
any type. Position indicators and passenger annunciators will be disabled. If fire service is acti-
vated during a non-automatic mode, audible and visible annunciators will activate to alert the
elevator technician but the car will not automatically exit the non-automatic mode.
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).
Car Panel Inspection
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).
Hoistway Access Inspection
At both top and bottom access hall stations, a three-
position, key operated switch allows the car to be moved to gain top or bottom access. The car
will move with car and hall doors open at the affected landing. If doors are in transit when
hoistway access is initiated, they will stop immediately.
Machine Room Inspection
Machine room inspection has the lowest priority of the
inspection modes.
A switch located in the elevator controller cabinet places the car on machine room inspection.
When this switch is activated, automatic car and hall door operation are immediately termi-
nated. Doors in transit when inspection is activated will immediately stop. Additional constant-
pressure switches allow the car to be moved at inspection speed (not to exceed 150 fpm).
