Mode of Operation

The top line of the Hoistway pane shows the current car operation mode:
• Attendant Service: The car is operating in Attendant service mode. Usually initiated by a
key-operated switch inside the car to allow the elevator to be operated by an in-car Atten-
dant. While on Attendant service, hall and car call buttons remain active. The elevator will
respond to car calls that have been enabled via different settings as specified by the car call
eligibility and card reader options. During Attendant service, the Attendant inside the car
controls direction of travel using the Attendant service Up and Down switches. The Atten-
dant can also bypass hall calls using the Attendant service Non-Stop switch. Door opera-
tion is typically automatic open with constant pressure on the door close button required
to close the doors. However, user settings are available to modify door operation if desired.
The parameters and descriptions are the same as for the Independent Service > Front /
Rear tabs. Please refer to "Car Operation - Independent Service Tab" on page 9-59.
• Capture: The car has been placed in Capture mode using the Capture switch on the iBox or
by activating the Capture Input. When placed in Capture mode the car is taken "out" of
public service. It will not respond to hall call demand or parking instructions. It will con-
tinue to service car call demand so that current passengers are not inconvenienced. The
intent is to allow the car to service current passengers and then remain empty at the last
serviced floor so that it may be captured for test, adjustment, or other non-passenger use.
• Car Panel Inspection: The car has been placed on Inspection mode using the car operating
panel switch. Use the car panel inspection switches to move the car.
• Cartop Inspection: The car has been placed on Inspection mode using the cartop switch.
Use the cartop Up, Down and Safe switches to move the car.
• CFSS Mode 1 (2) at Floor: Commandeer for Special Services - The car has recalled to the
CFSS floor and is waiting for a person to commandeer it according to the settings selected
on the Configuration > Car Operation > CFSS > Mode 1 (2) tab.

• CFSS Mode 1 (2) In-car: Commandeer for Special Services - The in-car switch has been

• CFSS Mode 1 (2) Recall: Commandeer for Special Services - A CFSS call has been initiated
via a hall switch. Any other hall calls will be un-assigned from the car. Any existing car
calls will be disposed of according to the Recall settings selected on the Configuration >
Car Operation > CFSS > Mode 1 (2) tab and the car will then recall to the floor at which the
CFSS call was latched.
• Construction Car Panel Inspection: Construction mode is enabled (Configuration > Safety
tab), and the car operation panel inspection switch has been activated. However, while in
Construction mode, the car panel inspection switches are ignored. The car can only be
operated via the machine room or cartop inspection switches while in Construction mode.
• Construction Cartop Inspection: Construction mode is enabled (Configuration > Safety
tab), allowing the car to be run on Inspection with a bare minimum of field wiring
installed, and the cartop Inspection switch has been activated. Use the cartop Up, Down
and Safe switches to move the car. Place the car on machine room or cartop inspection and
operate the car with the appropriate switches.
