Group Supervisory System: Group supervisory system shall be employed

for 1 group as attached schedules. In this system, the operation of one or
more elevators shall be controlled in a well balanced form. The waiting
time is computed as to which car is most suitable for responding to the call
newly made. The service conditions of all the cars shall be monitored and
optimization control shall be effected at all times. Each time the hall call is
made, the maximum waiting time relative to the assigned hall calls that
precede the newly made hall call are compared among the cars and the car
having the smallest figure shall be selected. Long waiting time and
unnecessary movement of cars shall be eliminated. In cases where one car is
separated from the group operation for maintenance and other purposes, the
hall calls to be attended by the separated car shall be reassigned to the
remaining cars. Hall lantern shall flicker 4-5 seconds before the arrival of the
elevator and the gong shall be sounded at the same time to inform the
waiting passengers.

- Elevator Identifier: The elevators shall be identified by elevator identifier.

The naming shall be done by letters (A, B, C, D, E, F, ). The elevator
identifier can be lit when the specific car has been assigned and it can also
blink and make a gong sound when the car arrives at the landing.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS

2.21.1

Fireman's Operation: Fireman's operation shall be provided for elevators

as per the requirement in the schedules. The operation shall be as detailed
below and as per the requirement of applicable codes specified elsewhere.
A two position key switch shall be provided adjacent to the main landing
push button satiation for all the designated elevators. The key switch shall
have the following positions: ON & OFF. An alternative firemans callswitch shall be also provided to direct the elevator to the upper floor to the
main floor landing in case the main floor is in fire.
Each elevator designated for firemen service operation shall have a two
position key switch in the main car operating panel. The key switch shall
have OFF & ON positions.
The elevators designated for fireman's operation shall operate from the main landing
key switch when it is changed from the OFF to the ON position as follows:
- The elevator shall close its doors if open and return nonstop to the main
landing without responding to registered car or landing calls. An elevator
traveling away from the main landing shall stop and reverse its direction at
its next possible landing without opening its doors.
- All car and landing buttons shall be rendered inoperative and all call
acknowledging lights and waiting passenger lanterns shall be extinguished until
the Firemen service switch at the main landing is turned to the OFF position.
- Once the elevator is reached at the main landing, it shall wait as standby
elevator with its door in the open position until the Fireman's switch at the
main landing is turned to the OFF position. The elevator shall return to the
normal operation as soon as the Fireman's switch at the main landing is
turned to the OFF position.
The elevator ( L1 ) designated for firemen service shall be operable only
from their car call buttons by actuation of the two-position key switch in the
main car operating panel from the OFF position to the ON position.
- Each elevator may be controlled from the normal car buttons for the landing
served and from the normal DOOR CLOSE button. This operation shall
over ride other controls and all landing call buttons but shall be operational
only when the Firemen service switch at the main landing is in the ON
position.
- Once the Fireman registers the call for the desired floor, continuous pressure
on the DOOR CLOSE button shall close the doors and start the elevator.
Once desired floor is reached elevator is stopped until another similar
operation is made by the fireman.

All elevators when on INDEPENDENT or inspection operation shall be

signaled to return to the main landing when landing key switch is in the ON
position or elevator is called by automatic detection means.
- The emergency signal shall sound a distinctive tone, bell or gong located on
top of the car enclosure.
All elevators if connected with automatic fire monitoring panel shall operate
as follows when getting a signal from the main fire alarm and detection
system through the relay contacts provided at the control panel located at
each elevator machine rooms.
- All elevators shall return nonstop to their main landing without responding to
registered car or landing calls. An elevator traveling away from the main
landing shall stop and reverse its direction at its next possible landing without
opening its doors.
- All car and landing buttons shall be rendered inoperative and all call
acknowledging lights and waiting passenger lanterns shall be extinguished
until the Firemen service mode is changed by the fire monitoring panel
through the relay contacts.
- Once the elevator is reached at the main landing, it shall wait as standby
elevator with its door in the open position until the Firemen service mode is
changed by the fire monitoring panel through the relay contacts. The elevator
shall return to the normal operation as soon as the Fireman's mode is cleared
by the fire monitoring panel through the relay contacts.
2.21.2

Independent Service Operation: Independent operation, if required by the

schedule of specifications, shall be provided as follows:
An Independent Normal switch shall be provided on the main car operating
panel for all elevators specified for independent operation. When this switch
is in the ON position, the elevator shall be operated from the car buttons
only independent of all other operation modes.
The doors shall remain open when an elevator is at a landing until the car
button for another landing and the DOOR CLOSE button are pressed. If
several car calls are registered, it shall be necessary, after each stop, to press
the door close button to effect the closing of the doors.

PART 3

EXECUTION

3.1

SITE CONDITION INSPECTION

Elevator Contractor shall verify elevator well plumb before preparing shop
drawings, and report to the Engineer any proposed modification to
equipment design to suit actual site conditions.
During construction of building structure (prior to installing elevator
equipment), examine elevator well and machinery spaces to verify that no

irregularity exists that could affect the quality of execution of the work as
specified. Note:
-

Elevator well dimensions and plumb. Divider beam locations.

Support areas for beams, brackets, etc.
Pit dimensions and drainage.
Access means to pit, hoist way and machinery spaces.
Suitability of power sources, illumination and ventilation.

Examine the work of other divisions, upon which the work of this section
depends, and report defects in writing to the Engineer.
3.2

PAINTING
Apply a coat of rust inhibiting paint, either in the field or at factory, to
exposed ferrous metal surfaces of controller cabinet, machine, struts, header,
dust cover, rail brackets, working platform, car frame, buffers, buffer
extensions, ladder, working platform, and any other ferrous metal product
supplied. After installation and final cleaning, re-paint the non-machined
surfaces as required.
Ferrous metal surfaces that will be concealed in the completed work shall
receive a factory applied primer and finish coat of rust inhibiting paint.
After installation, but before work is done to conceal the item, clean and
repaint damaged areas.

3.3

CLEANING
Prior to start of Acceptance Testing, ensure that all installation work is
complete, including:
Clean machine room, pit, top of car, and elevator well blow out controllers.
Make all wiring runs neat, and connect all spare wire to terminals.
Remove all non-permanent equipment from machinery spaces.

3.4

TESTING AND TRAINING

Third party testing certificate of the installation shall be provided. Training
of the Employer staff on the maintenance and operation of the elevators and
controls shall be provided.
