12.6 Dispatcher Parameters
12.6.1 Parameter Menu One Description
LONG WAIT PRIORITY: This should be set to a value that is at least twice as large as the average
wait time. When a call has been in longer than the long wait time, it will be given priority by the
dispatcher. Any long wait calls will be assigned before regular hall calls. This may cause the system
to bypass a call in order to give the long wait call priority. If hall calls are being bypassed
continually or you would rather not use this feature, adjust your Long Wait Priority Time to a
higher number. Valid entries range from 45 to 999 seconds, with 120 seconds being the default.
PEAK DURATION TIME: There is a built in delay of approximately thirty seconds before dropping a
peak to avoid volatility in the system. This can be adjusted using the peak duration setting. The
peak duration time can be set from 1 to 999 seconds, with a 30 second default.
UP and DOWN PEAK: Two up and two down peak intervals can be set. Military time should be
used to enter the times (0 - 23 hour, 0 - 59 minutes).
HALL CALL IMBALANCE UP PEAK - the difference in the amount of up calls and down calls that
will trigger an up peak. This should be set from "0" to "30" and has a default value of "8".
HALL CALL IMBALANCE DOWN PEAK - the difference in the amount of down calls and up calls
that will trigger a down peak. This should be set from "0" to "30" and has a default value of "8".
If an up and down peak are set to occur at the same time, the down peak will have precedence. If
an imbalance of calls occurs which would cause a system peak, it will have precedence over a time-
generated peak. When the imbalance ceases the system will return to the time generated peak.
FIRE / EMERGENCY POWER RECALL FLOORS:
MAIN: __ DET. A: __ DET. B: __ DET. C: __
The main and alternate recall floors must be entered here. The lowest floor in the building is floor
one. The value entered into the "MAIN" location sets where the cars will go when the Lobby recall
switch is turned on. It also sets the floor the cars will be returned to on Emergency Power Phase I.
The "DET. A" through "DET. C" inputs set where the cars will be returned to when the AREC,
BREC, and CREC inputs are activated respectively.
FBY/FRST (ANSI 2000 ONLY) OPERATION:
FBY DISABLED (AREC - CREC NOT LATCHED)
FBY ENABLED (AREC - CREC LATCHED)
FRST-FIRE RECALL RESET (ANSI 2000 ONLY)
For jobs with the 1996 or earlier National Fire Code the FBY input will be present. Setting this
parameter to "FBY ENABLED (AREC - CREC LATCHED)" will cause the cars to remain on Fire
Recall after the AREC, BREC, or CREC inputs are reset. The Lobby key must be turned to
"BYPASS" (FBY input) before the cars can be returned to service. For New York City and other
locations where there is no "BYPASS" position on the Lobby key switch set this parameter to "FBY
DISABLED (AREC - CREC NOT LATCHED)". The FBY input is still present, but the cars will be
allowed to return to service when the AREC, BREC, or CREC inputs turn off. For jobs where the
ANSI/ASME 2000 Code required the FBY input will not be present, but will be replaced by FRST.
This input acts similar to the FBY input in that it will allow the cars to return to service if the AREC,
BREC, or CREC inputs are off, but if any of them are on the cars will remain on Fire Recall.
