The microcomputer system shall be designed to accept reprogramming with minimum system downtime. OPERATION Operation shall be automatic by means of the car and landing buttons. Stops registered by momentary actuation of the car or landing buttons shall be made in the order in which the landings are reached in each direction of travel after the buttons have been actuated. All stops shall be subject to the respective car or landing button being actuated sufficiently in advance of the arrival of the car at that landing to enable the stop to be made. The direction of travel for an idle car shall be established by the first car or landing button actuated. UP landing calls shall be answered while the car is traveling in the up direction and DOWN landing calls shall be answered while the car is traveling down. The car shall reverse after the uppermost or lowermost car or landing call has been answered, then proceed to answer car calls and landing calls registered in the opposite direction of travel. If the car without registered calls arrives at a floor where both up and down hall calls are registered, it shall initially respond to the hall call in the direction that the car was traveling. If no car call or hall call is registered for further travel in that direction, the car shall close its doors and immediately reopen them in response to the hall call in the opposite directions. Direction lanterns, if furnished, shall indicate the change of direction when the doors reopen. An independent service switch shall be provided in the car operating panel which, when actuated, shall cancel previously registered car calls, disconnect the elevator from the hall buttons and allow operation from the car buttons only. POWER SUPPLY (RETAINED) The present power supply of 480 volts, 3 phase, 60 hertz, alternating current will be retained and the new equipment will be arranged for this power supply. SOFT STARTER (NEW) A new solid-state starter will be provided. It will be of the same power requirement and starting configuration as presently exists.

3 2 MOTOR (RETAINED) The existing motor shall be retained. It will be thoroughly inspected. Any components requiring replacement will be of the original manufacture or its equivalent. VALVE (RETAINED) The existing valve will be retained. It will be inspected and adjusted for proper operation. Existing coil voltage of 120VAC required for retention of existing valve. INDEPENDENT SERVICE When the Independent Service switch in the car operating panel is actuated, it shall cancel previously registered car calls, disconnect the elevator from the hall buttons, and allow operation from the car buttons only. Door operation shall occur only after actuation of the DOOR CLOSE button. EXPRESS PRIORITY SERVICE A keyswitch and signal light shall be provided at designated landings to permit the elevator to be called to that landing, canceling all car calls and bypassing all hall calls along the way. When the car arrives, it shall remain with doors open for a predetermined time to permit the car to be placed on Independent Service. If the car is not available, the doors shall close and the car shall automatically return to normal operation. The signal lights shall be illuminated while the car is responding to a priority call and will be extinguished when the car has been placed on Independent Service or has been returned to normal service. If the car is not available for this priority service, the signal lights shall remain illuminated until the car becomes available to receive a priority service call. Another priority call cannot be initiated until the signal lights are extinguished. INSPECTION OPERATION For inspection purposes, an enabling keyswitch shall be provided in the car operating panel to permit operation of the elevator from on top of the car and to make car and hall buttons inoperative. On top of the car an operating fixture shall be provided containing continuous pressure UP and DOWN buttons, an emergency stop button, and an inspection-initiating switch. This switch makes the fixture operable and, at the same time, makes the door operator and car and hall buttons inoperable. HOISTWAY ACCESS SWITCH An enabling keyswitch shall be provided in the car operating panel to render all car and hall buttons inoperative and to permit operation of the elevator by means of an access keyswitch adjacent to the hoistway entrance at the access landing.

AUT-O-SAFE Furnish and install an Emergency Return Unit (ERU) providing auxiliary power to the hydraulic elevator. In the event of a primary power failure or a single-phase condition, the ERU is designed to automatically return the elevator to a designated landing at normal speed and allow all passengers to exit safely. Four to six seconds after a power failure has been sensed, an electronic timer in the ERU will be designed to turn on an inverter (converting DC battery power into elevator operating voltages). Six seconds later, the device will be designed to send a signal to the microprocessor to disengage the hall and car floor buttons, close the door(s), and open the valve to return the car to a designated landing at normal speed. When the car reaches the designated landing, the ERU is designed to open the door(s) for a preset time. The device will also be designed to allow the DOOR OPEN button to continue to operate normally to allow passengers to exit safely. After all passengers have exited, the car remains parked with the door(s) closed. To preserve battery life, the ERU will be designed to turn off after four minutes. If all elevator controls are in normal position, the elevator will be able to resume normal operation when building power is restored. Once main power has returned, it shall take from six to 24 hours for the batteries to become fully charged, depending on the amount of power consumed in performing an ERU operation. SECTION III.
