Description: Discrete input used to bypass hall calls.
Car Reaction: The car takes itself out of hall call service. Hall calls remain registered until answered. The car
is also not eligible for parking
Troubleshooting: Check the related discrete inputs.
Hall Call Service Disabled
Description: The car is rejecting hall calls (iBox IN GROUP indicator is Off and the Hall call reject status LED
on the iView Diagnostics > Diagnostic Outputs > Car Operation tab is On) either because of the current
mode of operation (Inspection, Test, Independent service, Capture) or because of a fault condition.
Car Reaction: Hall calls are rejected.
Troubleshooting:
1. Verify that the car is not on a mode of operation in which hall calls are not accepted.
2. Check the iView Faults text box and Event Log for faults that would cause the car to reject hall calls.
3. If the car is not responding to hall calls, but neither 1 or 2 apply, the problem could be due to loss of
communication with the dispatcher, security settings, heavy load status or hall call system malfunction.
