Owner’s Information Manual

WARNING: The use and ownership of this work is defined in the legend upon the front page hereof.

Wild Car Operation

Wild Car Operation is an option used when communications carrying registrations
for hall calls fails. In that event, all elevators that make up the group complete their
car calls until there is no further demand and then each elevator in the group parks
at its lobby and takes itself out of service. Activating the Wild Car keyswitch places
the elevator group into a programmed operation. Each car in the group moves to
assigned floors to pick up passengers and at least two cars in each group are
assigned duplicate floors. Car calls are answered normally.

Emergency Medical Operation

Emergency Medical Operation operates from a hall mounted keyswitch. When
activated, a buzzer in the car sounds and visual illumination alerts appear in car and
hall landing fixtures. The operation cancels any existing car calls, reassigns all hall
calls for the car, and returns the car non-stop to its designated emergency medical
landing, where the doors open and the buzzer stops. Once at the landing, the car
follows the rules for Emergency Medical Car Operation. If the emergency medical
car switch is not activated within 60 seconds after the doors are fully open, the
operation is cancelled.

Emergency Medical Car Operation

A landing designated as the emergency medical floor is specially programmed in the
control software. A car positioned at this landing with its doors open performs either
of two operations based on a 60-second interval:
• If the Emergency Medical Car keyswitch in the car is activated and a car call
registered, the doors close and the car moves to the target landing, opens its
doors, and holds them open until the next car call is registered. It repeats the
operation with the next registered car call.
• Without further keyswitch action, the car disregards any signals for car calls
and the door close buttons. After 60 seconds, the car automatically returns to
normal operation.
To remove the car from Emergency Medical Car Operation, the car must return to
the medical landing and the Emergency Medical Car keyswitch must be deactivated.
When the car is on emergency Medical Car Operation, Fire Service Operation
cannot be initiated.

Group: Remote Communications, Monitoring, and Control

EMS Panorama® (Elevator Management System)

EMS Panorama is a monitoring and control system used by building management
and security personnel to observe and modify elevator operation and performance.
Panorama can provide time-based control of security access. Depending on the
building requirements, a machine room display terminal and keyboard, a lobby
display terminal, a security station system, and a fire station display terminal and
keyboard are also available. The security station supports interactive operations
such as security assignment (car and floor access), electroluminescent display
