NOTE: If the car does not run, verify that no door protective device (Door Open
Button, Safety Edge, Electric Eye, Infrared Curtain) is holding the doors open. Verify
that the car is not stuck in leveling. Verify that the Door Close Button input is
energized.

Switch"On"input.
ConfirmthatthecarreturnstothecorrectMainandAlternatelandings.
ConfirmthatthecaroperatesasrequiredonCarFireService(Phase2)operation.
NOTE: To reset Hall Fire Service (Phase 1), most codes require the Bypass input be
energized. To disable Hall Fire Service, jump the Hall Bypass input on. On 2000 (or
later)FireCode,FireService(Phase1)isresetwhentheHallFireSwitchisturnedfrom
BypasstoOff.
NOTE:IfCarFireService(Phase2)appearstobeoperatingincorrectly,checktheDoor
Open and Close Limits for proper operation. Most codes require that the doors be
fully open before allowing a change in the mode of operation on Car Fire Service.
Most codes require that Hall Fire Service (Phase 1) be in effect for the car to return
automatically to the main fire landing when the Car Fire Switch is turned to the off
position.
