About the Model 600
The Model 600 is a smoke-containment system. A curtain drops from a housing to the
floor, creating a seal around the elevator opening that prevents smoke from traveling
through the elevator shaft to other floors. The curtain drops when the smoke detector to
which the housing is wired goes into alarm.
For information about the Model 600 and building codes, see the Model 600 Operation
