Lights when Fire Service
operation is activated, indicating
the elevator is returning to the
designated landing.
While rare, your elevator could experience
a power failure with passengers on board.
Or it may need to be used by fire/rescue
personnel during an emergency. Here’s an
overview of automatic features and tips
for these situations.
Power failure
Your evolution 200 is equipped with an auto-rescue feature that
moves your elevator cab to the next available landing in a power
failure. It then opens the doors to allow passengers to exit safely.
Stalled elevators
In the unlikely event that your elevator becomes stalled with
passengers inside, do not attempt to rescue them. Instead,
immediately call your elevator service provider. In the event that a
passenger is injured or ill, call 911.
Before calling for nonemergency service
Check these items before calling your elevator service provider for a
nonemergency visit. It could save you time and money.
•
Check all key-operated switches and make sure they’re in the
normal operating or “RUN” position.
•
Be sure the hoistway sill and cab door sill are free of debris.
Foreign objects such as gum wrappers, paper clips and other trash
can collect in the sills. This prevents the doors from operating
properly, which may shut down elevator service.
•
Be sure the elevator is not on Fire Service Operation.
•
Be sure your building has full power from your power company.
Fires
Your evolution 200 elevator is equipped with a Firefighter’s Service
mode that’s initiated automatically by building smoke detectors or by
your lobby’s Fire Service keyswitch. When activated, it cancels all
requests for elevator service, returns the elevator to the main floor,
opens the doors and keeps them open. This allows trained
fire/rescue personnel to have complete control of the elevator.
Only authorized personnel should be permitted to reset Fire Service,
after being certain there’s no fire in the building and smoke/heat
detectors have been reset.
