Hydro Passenger Detail Description


VENDOR LOGIC CONTROL

The Logic Control operation will be accomplished utilizing Microprocessor Computer
Logic Control. The Elevator Control Program will be contained in non-volatile,
programmable, read only memory. Control will be constructed such that future
alterations in elevator operation may readily be made by altering the read only memory.
Safety circuits will be monitored and controlled by the programmable Logic Control for
redundant protection. The Elevator Logic Control will be contained in a Cabinet.


SELECTIVE COLLECTIVE OPERATION

Pressure upon one or more Car Buttons will send the car to the designated landings in
the order in which the landings are reached by the car, irrespective of the sequence in
which the buttons are pressed, provided the hoistway door interlock and car door
switch circuits are completed. During this operation, the car will also answer calls from
the landings which are in the prevailing direction of travel. Each landing call will be
cancelled when answered.

Pressure upon a Hall Button at a floor above the car location will cause the car to start
Up and answer any Up calls as they are reached by the car irrespective of the sequence
in which the buttons had been pressed. The car will not stop at floors where Down
buttons only had been pressed. If no further Car or Up Hall calls are registered, the car
will reverse its direction preference for response to Car Calls or Down Hall calls.

The car will start Down to answer calls below the car and will not stop where Up calls
only are registered. When traveling Up, the car will reverse at the highest call and
proceed to answer calls below it. When traveling Down, the car will reverse at the
lowest call and answer calls above it.

Should both an Up and a Down call be registered at an intermediate landing, only the
call corresponding to the direction in which the car is traveling will be cancelled upon
the stopping of the car at the landing. Terminal limit switches will be provided in the
hoistway designed to automatically stop the car at or near the closest terminal landing. Page 7 of 32




OPERATIONAL FEATURES

OPERATION OF ELEVATOR(S) UNDER FIRE OR OTHER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

KEY OPERATED SWITCH AT MAIN FLOOR

A three-position key operated switch will be provided at the floor closest to the grade
level (i.e. main floor) for each single elevator or each group of elevators in one common
bank. The key will be removable in the ON or OFF positions only. When the switch is in
the ON position, all elevators controlled by this switch (which are on automatic service)
will return non-stop to the main floor where the doors will open and remain open.

SENSING DEVICES:

"Heat and Smoke" or "Products of Combustion" Sensing Devices must be installed in
accordance with NFPA No. 72E in each elevator lobby at each floor and in the elevator
machine room. The activation of any elevator lobby Sensing Device will cause all cars
that serve that lobby to return non-stop to the main floor. When the Sensing Device at
the main floor elevator lobby is activated, all cars that serve that lobby will return non-
stop to a predetermined alternate floor. Activation of a machine room Sensing Device
will cause all cars to return to a predetermined landing. The key operated switch at the
main floor (described above), when turned to the BY-PASS position, will restore normal
service independent of the Sensing Devices.


SPECIAL SERVICE SIGNAL:

When either the main floor key switch or a Sensing Device is activated and elevator(s)
are operating under any Special Service condition (including Inspection Service), both a
visual and audible signal will be activated in the car(s), alerting the "attendant" to
return non-stop to the main floor.

KEY OPERATED SWITCH IN CAR(S)

A three-position (OFF, HOLD & ON) key operated switch will be provided in the
operating panel in each car. It will be effective only when the main floor key-operated
switch (previously described) is in the ON position or when a Sensing Device has been
activated and the car(s) have returned to the main floor. The key will be removable in
each position. When the switch is in the ON position, the elevator will be placed on
Emergency Service:
a. The elevator(s) will be operable only from IN the elevator.

b. Elevators will not respond to elevator corridor (hall) calls.

c. The opening of doors will be by continuous pressure on the DOOR OPEN button.
If that button is released prior to the doors reaching the fully open position, the
doors will automatically close. Fully open doors will be closed by continuous
pressure on the DOOR CLOSE button.

d. When the switch is in the HOLD position, the car will remain at the floor with
doors open and with the DOOR CLOSE and Car Floor pushbuttons inoperative.

e. Each car will be equipped with a CALL CANCEL button. When the switch is in the
ON position, pressure on the CALL CANCEL button will cancel all registered car
calls. A traveling car will stop at or near the next available floor.



ANTI-NUISANCE FEATURE

When the number of registered car calls exceed the proportional load on the car, the
registered car calls will be automatically cancelled.


INDEPENDENT SERVICE

A switch will be provided for selecting Independent Service Operation. When this switch
is turned to the "ON" position, all previously registered car and hall calls for that car will
be cancelled and the car will be transferred automatically to Independent Service for
operation by an attendant.

The car will park with its doors open. Closing of the doors and starting of the car will be
subject to constant pressure on a car button until the car starts in motion. After the car
is in motion, the button may be released and the car will automatically proceed to and
