The reason why it kept buzzing after the door had opened was because there appeared to be an issue with the door operator. Normally with Dover fire service, the buzzer quits and the fire hat goes out once the elevator reaches the main floor and opens its doors. Notice how the door keeps jumping after it's open? Looks like it needs maintenance.
+BikeGeekMTDX Yes definately a door issue. That is not supposed to happen :P Notice how the door pulsates with the alarm. This thing should fail inspection immediately!
ya i noticed something was wrong bc i watched a fire department video and they said if the hat is flashing the smoke detector in the hoist way is activated or the door had an issue and i noticed the door was shaking when it was open
@@212Elevators Are you sure that's what the blinking fire hat means? Everywhere else the blinking fire hat has been defined as a smoke detector event or other malfunction.
@@GaryCameron780 That's what I thought when I first saw the video, but listen to the way it beeps, it's not constantly beeping at the same rate. So it has to be a door malfunction. Not to mention the guy who did this video should know about this so they can get an elevator mechanic to fix it.
I’ve never done fire service or independent service on an elevator before I’ve used an elevator key to access a restricted floor and a wheelchair lift elevator
That comment below is spot-on. The buzzer and fire hat should shut off completely when the elevator has reached the recall floor and the door has opened. That front door operator is fricked up and needs work.
@@Jamestube8439 Could it be that the blinking fire hat means do not use... due to a variety of reasons that include a smoke detector activation or other equipment malfunction?
@@GaryCameron780 Well I figured out why it was doing that a while ago. The fire hat was blinking because the door was having issues, did you see the way it was moving after it opened? Well after the door opens at the recall floor, the buzzer is supposed to turn off and remain there with the doors open. Until Phase 1 is turned off or phase 2 is activated from the key switch inside the elevator.
@@Jamestube8439 No, the building had assigned the system to be programmed like that, considering most Phase II cabinets say "When Light Flashing, Exit Elevator".
Just a few things to point out here: 1) In Phase I fire service, once the elevator reaches the first floor and doors completely open, the Firefighter hat should become completely stable and should not be blinking. The blinking hat signifies there is a door operator fault, or the smoke detector/sprinklers were triggered in the shaft, which may result in a shunt trip cutting off all power to the elevator. 2) That faulty door operator should be fixed. It looks like its having a stroke. The door should remain stable in its open position and shouldn't keep bouncing like that. Needs help. 3) When performing an elevator inspection, in Fire Service Phase II, the door bumpers and electric eye should be checked to make sure that they don't reopen the doors even if they are triggered. 4) When not in Fire Service mode, the elevator's door access key should be tested as well to make sure it's functional. 5) Probably not a default procedure, but when inspecting an elevator, the alarm bell should be tested to make sure it works. With all of these issues pointed out, I'm actually surprised to find out that the inspector actually passed the elevator inspection. Not very cool.
I just applied for a position in Maryland as a elevator inspector. I am surprised there starting salary is $41K. This video is helpful in better understanding the some of there job responsibilities. Thanks for the post!
Hello I am an OTIS lift Engineer you need to get your door looked at it Should't be bouncing like that I think you need a new door operator or an new door chain/cable.
Max from London Otis engineer he needs to adjust his DOL limit and that’s a DOVER or thyssenkrup elevator no chain or cable on their operator... they have belts/ Encoder/limits..
Elevator inspector out of Florida just some things I had noticed didn’t see in case of fire signage at the first floor didn’t see Jamb braille at the first floor didn’t see phase 1 operations signage on the first floor didn’t see bumpers at strikes and can hear stainless clap when doors close door open limit seems to make and break at the limit of travel. Looks to me like Maintenance needs to be performed and less testing. The time it took anybody to make this video I’m sure much improvement could’ve been made to this elevator.
Folks this is just a demonstration! I guarantee you he failed the inspection and wrote the issues in the logs. This was a generalization training the inspection process to see what it's like to inspect them. For those saying he has no clue what he's talking about, go out there and get hired to inspect them yourself. Otherwise you have no clue of what you're talking about. They have the knowledge and the know hows to do this and are trained.
Adjust your DOL limit , take care of that first buddy so your door close sequence could commence quicker.. during fire 🔥 service phase 2 I didn’t see you try to brake the electric eye the sensor needs to be bypass during fire service phrase 1 and phase 2 In case there is smoke 💨 in front of the sensor on the door if it has an electric eye Also make sure when you on a landing away from the recall floor turn phase 2 off to see if it returns back to the recall floor this applies to newer elevators in case there is a fire 🔥 you turn phase two off and the car returns to recall floor to get the other firefighters 🧯 so they could access the car and go help the rest of the team..., Safety first stay safe buddy
Shouldn't the fire hat stay on steady once the car is put in phase 2??? Blinking fire hat usually means a sprinkler or heat sensor is tripped in the motor room, or the system may shunt trip, leaving no power.
I hope this didn't pass. That door operator needs adjustment or replacement, and the alarm should not be going off/fire hat flashing after the door opens
I’m surprised that especially in a school, there are still mechanical safety edges, 95% of schools always replace the mechanical safety edges with more reliable and modern infrared sensors.
Whats up with the third floor? Where is the button? How are the firefighters supposed to place a call for the third floor? This looks to be quite outdated from a fire code perspective if it even is compliant with any version!
