and conductors for connection of that equipment for transmission of the flow signal from the splitter
enclosure to 24-PLC-001
2. Pricing includes required programming modifications to make flow signal from 2-FE/FIT-00I visible

SUPPLEMENT 2
Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems
and Elevator Controls
Bruce Fraser
SimplexGrinnell, L.P.
Editor's Note: The relationship between fire alarm s)stems and elevator control s_ystents,
and hose these sYs►eins interface with each other, has had a long history, one that is still
evolving. This supplement summarizes the historical development of these relationships and
provides insight into the requirements for firefighters' recall and elevator shutdown.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF
FIREFIGHTERS' RECALL AND
ELEVATOR SHUTDOWN
Background
Safe operation of elevators has always been paramount to
the elevator industry. In the late 1960s and early 1970s,
attention was drawn to the impact of fire on elevator safety.
Thought was given to human behavioral actions as well
as the electrical and mechanical aspects. In a high-rise
building fire, for instance, passengers overcrowding an
elevator in their panic to leave the building might disable
an elevator, or the elevator might actually be called to the
fire floor by the actuation of a call button that has shorted
or by one that reacts to heat. People unaware of the fire
condition on an upper floor might continue to use the
elevators to access the building. It was generally agreed
that because of the various unsafe conditions faced by
building occupants using elevators during a tire, it was
important to prevent those occupants and visitors of the
building from using elevators during a fire. It was believed
that the safer option was for everyone physically capable
of using the stairs to exit the building to do so. This strategy
would also make elevators available to firefighters for stag-
ing their equipment on Floors closer to the fire floor and
for evacuating those individuals incapable of self -rescue.
Conflicting Codes
Many individuals who must deal with the coordination of
building codes and standards understand that it is difficult
to keep the building, elevator, sprinkler, and fire alarm
codes in step with each other — initially because of a
general lack of coordination between the various code com-
mittees. Today, there is a concerted effort for cooperation
with the code -making bodies and the fire services. Still, it

Committee.
721
722 Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls
is easy to get out of sync because of the differences in
code cycles and the edition dates of the various codes that
jurisdictions adopt. For instance, NFPA 72 w, National Fire
Alarm Code4, has operated on a 3-year cycle (e.g., 1996,
1999, 2002, 2007; the exception being from 2002 to 2007),
whereas ASME A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Es-
calators, has operated on a multiple -year code cycle with
published yearly addenda or supplements that can be
adopted by jurisdictions (e.g., 2000, 2002[a], 2003[b],
2004, 2005[a]. 2005[S]). ASME A17.1, 2004 edition, is
the 17th edition of the Safety Code for Elevators and Esca-
lators; its current supplement was issued on August 12,
2005, and is referenced as ASME A17.11S], 2005 supple-
ment, which was effective as of February 12, 2006.
Firefighters' Recall Introduced
In 1973, ASME A 17.1 b, Supplement to the 1971 Elevator
Code, introduced a new rule (Rule 211.3) that contained,
among other things, a requirement for "Firefighters' Re-
call." The new rule applied to all automatic non -designated
attendant elevators that traveled 25 ft above or below the
designated level. Elevators having to comply with ASME
A 17.1 were now required to be "recalled" to a specific
"designated" floor upon actuation of either a "3-position,
key switch" (manual recall), or by smoke detectors located
in elevator lobbies (automatic recall). The designated floor
was usually the ground floor because that was usually the
location where first -arriving firefighters entered the build-
ing to evaluate the situation. Firefighters were to be the only
individuals to have access to the keys for the 3-position key
switch. They would use this feature to capture and gain
control over the elevator(s) for their use in fire fighting
and assisting those not capable of evacuating on their own.
During this time period, smoke detectors were not
nearly as reliable and stable as they are today and the
industry was plagued with unnecessary smoke detector
actuations and recalled elevators. In the 1970s, smoking
was not frowned upon or prohibited in buildings as is the
common practice today. Ashtrays were often placed right
tinder or in close proximity to the elevator lobby smoke
detectors. Passengers would take their last puff and deposit
their smoking material in the ashtray prior to boarding the
elevator — that last puff often led to trash in the ashtray
igniting and a quick ride down to the designated level!
ASME A 17.1, 1981 edition, introduced recall of eleva-
tors to an "alternate" level. This requirement called for a
smoke detector in the main lobby to cause recall to an
alternate level (other than the designated floor). Also intro-
duced was a new requirement for smoke detectors in the
elevator machine room to recall the elevators to the "desig-
nated" floor.
ASME A17.1, 1984 edition, produced the requirement
that only the elevator lobby and the elevator machine room
smoke detectors were to be used to automatically recall
elevators.
During this time, smoke detectors had no specific in-
stallation requirements other than ASME A] 7.1 referenc-
ing that smoke detectors be installed in accordance with
NFPA 72E, Automatic Fire Detectors. Chapter 4. Smoke
detection technology was still in its relatively early stages,
so the building owners continued to experience difficulties
with instances of elevators returning (being recalled) as a
result of unwarranted smoke detector actuation. These
events were responsible for a groundswell reaction from
building owners to disconnect the recall function, and it
also led to installation of systems with questionable relia-
bility. Various configurations of smoke detectors were
being installed using different wiring methods and even
intermixing of single station smoke alarms and system
smoke detectors. Coordination between electrical contrac-
tors and elevator contractors didn't happen on a regular
basis, and installation guidance was sorely lacking.
NFPA's Involvement
NFPA's first mention of smoke detectors used for firefight-
ers' recall appeared in the 1987 edition of NFPA 72A,
htstallation, Maintenance and Use of Local Protective Sig-
naling Systems. The section was titled "Elevator Recall for
Firefighters' Service," and it required that smoke detectors
located in elevator lobbies and elevator machine rooms
used to initiate firefighters' service recall be connected
to the building fire alann system. And, unless otherwise
permitted by the authority having jurisdiction, only those
detectors could be used to recall the elevators. The feeling
was that as long as the elevators were not in danger from
fire (as determined by elevator lobby and machine room
smoke detectors), they could continue to operate for use
of building occupants. And, of course, the other reason
was that there would be less risk of incurring nuisance
alarms that would be disruptive to building occupants and
bad public relations for the building owner.
The actuated detector, in addition to initiating recall,
was required to initiate an alarm condition on the fire alarm
system and annunciate the zone from which the alarm
originated.
Both acceptance testing and periodic testing were per-
formed in accordance with requirements in NFPA 72E,
1987 edition, and NFPA 72H, Testing Procedures for Local,
Auxiliary, Remote Station, and Proprietary Protective Sig-
naling Systems, 1988 edition.
NFPA 72A, 1987 edition, also required that for each
group of elevators within the building, two elevator zone
2007 National Fire Alarm Code Handbook
Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls 723
circuits be terminated at the elevator controller. The opera-
tion had to be in accordance with ANSUASME A 17.1
Rules 21L3--211.8. Essentially, the smoke detector in the
designated lobby of recall would actuate the first circuit,
and the smoke detectors in the remaining lobbies and eleva-
tor machine room would actuate the second circuit. The
reason for the two circuits was to be able to differentiate
the signal coming from the smoke detector at the designated
elevator landing from all the other smoke detectors at the
other elevator lobbies and elevator machine room. If that
detector at the designated level actuated, it would be indica-
tive of fire conditions in that area, so the elevators would
then be recalled to an "alternate' level. The "alternate"
level would be determined at the discretion of the authority
having jurisdiction (usually the local fire department).
Smoke detectors for elevator recall were also required
to initiate an alarm even with all other initiating devices
on the circuit in an alarm state. The reason for this require-
ment was to ensure the reliability of the recall operation
because some fire alarm initiating device circuits could
not support having all devices in alarm at one time and
still guarantee the smoke detector used for elevator recall
would operate.
Two examples (drawings) were placed in the appendix
of NFPA 72A recommending wiring configuration for the
smoke detectors for a new installation as well as for an
elevator retrofit situation. The standards at this time did
not require electrical supervision of these control circuits.
In 1989, ASME A17.1b addressed smoke detectors in
hoistways. Smoke detectors were allowed to be installed
in any hoistway, but they were required to be installed
in hoistways that were sprinklered. The hoistway smoke
detectors, when actuated, were to cause recall to the desig-
nated level. Also, the elevators must react only to the first
recall signal. In other words, if the detector at the desig-
nated level actuated and then shortly after the third floor
elevator lobby detector actuated, the car would be recalled
to the alternate floor of recall and not the designated level
because the detector at the designated level was the first
to actuate. This requirement was added because it was
believed that the first detector to operate would have a
high probability of sensing a fire in its vicinity, whereas
there would be a fair chance of the smoke migrating to other
locations and tripping the detectors and giving conflicting
instructions to the elevator controllers.
In 1990, NFPA consolidated some of the signaling
standards (NFPA 72A, Installation, Maintenance, and Use
of Local Protective Signaling Systems, 1987 edition; NFPA
7213, Auxiliary Protective Signaling Systems for Fire Alarm
Service, 1986 edition; NFPA 72C, Remote Station Protec-
tive Signaling Svstens, 1986 edition; NFPA 72D, Proprie-
tary Protective Signaling Systems, 1986 edition; and NFPA
National Fire Alarm Code Handbook 2007
72F, Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency
Voice/Alarm Communication Systetns, 1985 edition), into
a single publication, NFPA 72, Installation, Maintenance,
and Use of Protective Signaling Systems, 1990 edition.
There were no changes made to the paragraphs relating to
elevators in NFPA 72A, 1987 edition.
The ASME A 17.1, 1990 edition, added a requirement
for all elevator cars to be provided with an illuminated
visual and audible signal system (frefighter's helmet sym-
bol). The light would illuminate during recall to alert pas-
sengers that the car is returning nonstop to the designated
level. In reality, unless passengers were taught or otherwise
shown what the light meant, it was doubtful as to the
value this feature provided the average elevator passenger.
Exhibit S2.1 shows an illustration of the firefighter's hel-
met symbol. Later, this visual symbol will be discussed in
another application.

The 25 ft travel criterion was dropped from ASME
A17.1b, 1992 supplement, so the Firefighters' Service Re-
call then applied to all automatic non -designated attendant
elevators regardless of the travel distance.
ASME A17.1 [1993] (14th Edition)
In 1993 liaisons between the NFPA 72 Technical Commit-
tee on Protected Premises Fire Alarm Systems and the
ASME A 17.1 Emergency Operations Committee were es-
tablished and were effectively communicating to coordi-
nate their code activities. Requirements were more
complex, and it was essential this communication and co-
operation continue. More specific application details were
surfacing, such as the requirement that smoke detectors in
the hoistway might be installed below the lowest recall
level and when actuated, those detectors would now cause
the elevator car to be sent to the upper level of recall.
Reasoning for that change was to keep the car away from
the fire.
724 Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls
NFPA 72 Changes [1993]
In 1993 NFPA further consolidated the signaling standards
to form what is now NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code.
Reference to hoistway smoke detectors was added in this
edition to correlate with ASME A17.1, 1990 edition. The
result required hoistway detectors to cause recall of eleva-
tors to the designated level.
The 1993 edition of NFPA 72 also, for the first time,
addressed elevator recall in buildings that were not required
to have a fire alarm system. Those buildings having eleva-
tors and no building fire alarm systems and having to
comply with ANSI/ASME A 17.1 must now have an "Ele-
vator Recall and Supervisory Panel." This panel is essen-
tially a fire alarm control unit (now defined as a "dedicated
function fire alarm control unit") specifically used to pro-
vide signals to the elevator controller to initiate elevator
recall, but not notify the occupants of the building or the
fire department. Additionally, this control unit was used
to initiate removal of elevator main line power prior to
sprinkler operation should the building have sprinklers in
the elevator machine room or hoistway. The main reason
for this requirement was to ensure these critical elevator
recall systems were installed with the reliability of building
fire alarm systems, which included the supervision (moni-
toring for the integrity) of circuit wiring and secondary
power meeting the requirements of NFPA 72.
Also in the 1993 edition, the term fire safety, control
fiaictions was introduced. The section on fire safety control
functions addressed those components and interfaces that
are meant to increase the level of life safety and property
protection in buildings. The following are examples of
such fire safety control functions: door holding, door re-
leasing, door unlocking, elevator recall, shunt trip, fan
control, smoke hatches, and stairway ventilation. The sec-
tion on fire safety control functions reinforced the require-
ment that the circuits from the fire alarm system to the
elevator controller(s) had to be monitored for integrity.
A section on shutdown of main elevator power was
also added in the 1993 edition of NFPA 72 primarily as a
result of the ASME 17.1 requirements that now addressed
the concerns of sprinklers in elevator machine rooms and
hoistways. These sprinkler requirements were driven by
national building codes. This subject is discussed in greater
detail later under the topic "Main Line Power Disconnect
-- Shunt Trip."
ASME A17.1 b [1995]
ASME A 17.1 b, 1995 supplement, included a new require-
ment addressing the condition (as with many hydraulic
elevators) where the elevator machine room is on the desig-
nated level. Smoke detectors in the elevator machine room,
when actuated, will send the car to the alternate level.
Again, the reasoning was to use the recall level furthest
from the fire condition.
NFPA 72 Changes [1996]
In the 1996 edition of NFPA 72, smoke detectors in
hoistways were prohibited unless the top of the hoistway
had a sprinkler. If the top of the hoistway was sprinklered.
then ASME A17.1b, 1995 supplement, required a smoke
detector to be installed to initiate recall prior to having the
main line power shut down.
The reason for not wanting smoke detectors in
hoistways is obvious. The adverse environmental condi-
tions of most elevator hoistways, with dirt and contami-
nants and varying air velocities caused by elevator piston
action, initiated many unwarranted or "nuisance" recalls.
Because smoke detectors in hoistways were (and still are)
difficult to service and to perform periodic testing on,
smoke detectors were often sadly neglected, allowing them
to become dirty, overly sensitive, and prone to causing
nuisance recalls.
Another section added to the 1996 edition of NFPA
72 allowed other appropriate automatic fire detection to
be used in place of smoke detectors in those situations
where the environment was unsuitable for smoke detectors,
such as unheated elevator lobbies commonly found in
northern climates.
A "third" control circuit was added to the existing
"designated" floor of recall and "alternate" floor of recall
circuits. This third circuit was to operate when a hoistway
or machine room smoke detector actuated. It was to annun-
ciate separately at the fire alarm control unit and other
required annunciators. The purpose was to alert firefighters
and other emergency personnel of a potential problem that
might cause unsafe elevator operation and, indeed, they
may soon lose elevator power.
At this time there was confusion in the industry be-
cause ASME A 17.1 had not yet introduced the third circuit
as an elevator requirement. In the works was a proposal
to ASME A 17.1 that would cause the firefighter's helmet
symbol in the elevator car to flash to indicate impending
danger if firefighters were to continue to use the car under
"Phase II — Emergency In -car Operation." Under "Phase
II," the elevator is controlled by firefighters by way of a
special key that permits firefighters to override other safety
controls. The firefighters can then use the elevator for
staging their equipment and for evacuating people.
ASME A17.1a [1997]
Some fairly substantial changes were made in terminology
in the 1997 supplement of ASME A17.1. The title of sec-
2007 National Fire Alarm Code Handbook
Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls 725
tion "211.3b Smoke Detectors" was changed to "211.3b
Phase 1 Fire Alarm Activation." Also, the term fire alarrn
initiating devices replaced the previously used term smoke
detectors. This change was intended to recognize that
smoke detectors may not be the most appropriate choice
of detection to initiate elevator recall when environmental
conditions exceed those for which the smoke detector is
suitable.
ASME Al7.1 b [1998]
A new paragraph was added to the 1998 supplement of
ASME A17.1 requiring that the actuation of a fire alarm
initiating device in the elevator machine room or in the
hoistway cause the visual signal (firefighter's helmet) in
the affected elevator car to flash. This addition provided
the change needed for correlation with the "third circuit"
requirement added in the 1996 edition of NFPA 72.
NFPA 72 Changes [1999]
There were no substantive changes related to elevator recall
in the 1999 edition of NFPA 72. See changes to power
disconnect requirements later in the section on "Elevator
Shutdown and Sprinklers."
ASME A17.1 [2000] (16th Edition)
The 2000 edition of ASME A 17.1 was harmonized with
the Canadian CAN/CSA B44 Elevator Safety Standard. In
addition, the entire code was reformatted and renumbered
using a decimal numbering system.
Some heading changes were made, for instance. "Fire-
fighters' Service — Automatic Elevators" was changed to
"Firefighters' Emergency Operation — Automatic Eleva-
tors." And, "Phase I Fire Alarm Activation" was changed
to "Phase I Emergency Recall Operation by Fire Alarm
Initiating Devices." But, the content did not change essen-
tially. Some rewording and paragraph modifications were
made to accommodate the differences that still exist be-
tween the United States and Canada. Where differences
exist between ASME A17.1 and CAN/CSA B44, there
is wording such as "7n jurisdictions not enforcing the
NBCC . . . ". The NBCC refers to the National Building
Code of Canada, so used in that context, that particular
code requirement would apply to the United States.
NFPA 72 Changes [2002]
Several correlation changes occurred in the 2002 edition
of NFPA 72. Wording was added to include consideration
for new elevator technology that alters the way we have
traditionally thought of elevators. Various elevator compo-
nents and equipment (drive motors, controllers, braking
National Fire Alarm Code Handbook 2007
mechanisms, etc.) were customarily installed in spaces
called machine rooms. Recent elevator technology has led
to what is now referred to as "machine room -less" elevator
systems. Some elevators today have the equipment in other
spaces, such as mounted on the elevator car itself. So, now,
when referring to locations where smoke detectors are
installed for the purpose of initiating recall (elevator lob-
bies, elevator hoistways, and elevator machine rooms),
additional reference is made to elevator machine rooms
"'including machine space, control room, and control
space."
Where NFPA 72, 1999 edition, addressed three sepa-
rate circuits per each group of elevators within a building
for the purpose of interfacing the fire alarm system with
the elevator system, NFPA 72, 2002 edition, addressed the
potential of having more than three circuits. Wording was
changed from "three separate elevator control circuits" to
"a minimum of three separate elevator control circuits."
The reason for that change was that in some instances, two
(or more) separate hoistways could share the same common
elevator machine room. An ASME A] 7.1 requirement is
to provide a danger signal to elevator cars (by flashing the
firefighter helmet symbol) if there is fire in an elevator
hoistway or an elevator machine room. The reasoning be-
hind the change was that if the fire was in one hoistway,
the signal should not be given to the elevator car in the
other hoistway where there may be no immediate danger.
Of course, if the fire occurred in the common machine
room, the signal would be sent to the cars in both hoistways.
Annex material was added to advise against installing
smoke detectors in outdoor locations or locations that are
exposed to weather, such as unenclosed elevator lobbies
in open parking structures, because those environments
can exceed the parameters of detector listing and further
could result in unwanted alarms and unnecessary recall of
elevators. If a smoke detector has undergone testing and
subsequent listing as acceptable for the anticipated environ-
ment, then, of course, that device would be appropriate for
installation in that case.
ASME A17.1a [2002] Supplement
There were no changes in requirements to the emergency
recall operation in this first addendum to the 2000 edition
of ASME A 17.1.
ASME A17.1 b [2003] Supplement
There were no substantive changes in requirements for
emergency recall, but wording was modified to reaffirm
the intent of where fire alarm initiating devices used for
the purpose of initiating emergency recall were to be in-
stalled. The fire alarm initiating devices were required to
726 Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls
be installed in conformance with NFPA 72 and located as
follows: (1) at each floor served by the elevator; (2) in the
associated elevator machine room; and (3) in the elevator
hoistway, when sprinklers are located in those hoistways.
ASME A17.1 [2004] 17th Edition
No new requirements were introduced to the existing emer-
gency recall requirements.
ASME A17.1a [2005] Supplement
No new requirements were introduced to the existing emer-
gency recall requirements.
ASME A17A S [2005] "Special" Supplement
This release is a "special" supplement that was published
as a result of an ad hoc committee tasked with addressing
the issues associated with the advancement of new techno-
logies being used in today's design and construction of
elevator equipment. The committee looked at the various
safety aspects of the new equipment and its installation,
and recommendations were put forth in proposals that ad-
dressed equipment located in traditional hoistways and
machine rooms as well as what is now termed "machinery
spaces, control spaces" that may be found either inside or
outside the hoistway.
No new requirements were introduced to the existing
emergency recall requirements.
NFPA 72 Changes [2007]
A significant rewrite of some of the paragraphs of the
Elevator Recall for Firefighters' Service section was made
with the intent of improving clarity, readability. and conti-
nuity.
The section is now arranged with general requirements
leading in to three distinct sections specific to the output
signals from the fire alarm system to the elevator control
system, namely, Designated Level Recall, Alternate Level
Recall, and Visual Warning.
ELEVATOR SHUTDOWN AND SPRINKLERS
Since its inception, the requirement in ASME A17.1 for
shutdown of elevator main line power has been the cause
for confusion in the industry and also has been very contro-
versial. The following paragraphs try to provide some back-
ground and insight on the subject.
Main Line Power Disconnect — "Shunt Trip"
Main line power disconnect, commonly referred to as
"shunt trip." was first required by ASME A17.1, 1984
edition. The reference to "shunt trip" is used because it
is that method that is predominantly used to disconnect
the elevator main line power.
When the term main line power is used here, it does
not mean '*complete" or "total" power. It means the power
that drives the elevator itself. Those circuits that would
not be shut down would include the following:
• Branch circuits for car lighting, receptacle(s), ventila-
tion, heating, and air conditioning
• Branch circuit for machine room/machinery space
lighting and receptacle(s)
• Branch circuit for hoistway pit lighting and recepta-
cle(s)
Because of the potential danger from water shorting
and bridging electrical components and because it is con-
sidered hazardous to have water on the elevator brake
(braking system) of traction elevators, especially when the
car is in motion, the requirement to disconnect the elevator
main line power prior to the release of water from the
sprinkler system was included in ASME 17.1. 1984 edition.
The concept was to remove main line power from the
elevator to stop the car and prevent it from moving prior
to a sprinkler releasing water that could get onto elevator
electrical components or the elevator brake. There was a
concern that "shorting" of control and safety circuits could
result in dangerous situations such as uncontrollable mo-
tion and running of the elevator with doors open, and so
on. On traction elevators there is the additional concern of
getting water on the brake while the car is moving, which
could result in uncontrolled braking and failure to stop
safely.
The original theory for elevator shutdown was to use
a heat detector as the means to actuate shunt trip. The
following sequence was intended:
1. A smoke detector used for elevator recall would sense
smoke and initiate recall.
2. The elevators would be recalled immediately (with or
without passengers) to the floor of recall and doors open.
3. Heat buildup causes heat detector to actuate, which
initiates main line power shutdown.
4. Power is removed from elevator and the car cannot be
used until power is manually restored.
5. Further heat buildup causes sprinkler to fuse, releasing
water to control fire.
In ASME A 17.1 a, 1994 supplement, the wording
changed to "upon or prior to the application of water
from sprinklers." Effectively, the rewording now allowed
sprinkler waterflow switches to initiate main line power
disconnect in addition to the previously used heat detectors.
Built-in delays were not allowed in the waterflow switch
2007 National Fire Alarm Code Handbook
Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls 727
(such as the retard mechanism furnished with many flow
switches that could be set to provide as much as a 90 second
delay in initiating a signal). The reason flow switches are
provided with built-in delays is to prevent false tripping
from "water hammer" caused by changes in pressure in
the water supply. At this time, the heat detector appeared
to be the most widely used as well as preferred option
because waterflow switches (without retard mechanisms)
were prone to causing unwanted and unwarranted recall
of elevators. Today, the use of more reliable check valves
has minimized this problem.
Power Disconnect Initiated from the Fire Alarm
System
Confusion existed for years over a couple of code sections,
one on a sentence in earlier editions of the National Electri-
cal Code'", Article 620 (Elevators), under the section cov-
ering "Disconnecting Means and Control." It stated that
..nor shall circuit breakers be opened automatically by a
fire alarm system." Some interpreted this as a requirement
that the heat detector used to actuate shunt trip could not
be associated with or connected to the fire alarm system.
In fact, what was intended was that the elevator power
should not be shut down when the fire alarm system was
activated by just any fire alarm initiating device in the
building. Many were not aware of the programming capa-
bilities that fire alarm systems have that allow for matrixing
of various inputs and outputs. So, for years, a separate
circuit, not connected to the fire alarm system, was com-
monly used to accomplish elevator main line power discon-
nect. Unfortunately, much of the time the circuit conductors
were not monitored for integrity (supervised). This over-
sight meant that a broken wire or open circuit could go
undetected until testing revealed the problem and also
meant the circuit could be out of commission when needed
in an emergency. These instances emphasize the need for
critical circuits to be monitored for integrity, as is the case
with fire alarm initiating device circuits.
In the 1993 edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical
Code, the troublesome reference to the fire alarm system
was removed to avoid the confusion. The requirements
regarding the means to achieve elevator shutdown were
also more clearly defined in NFPA 72 119931. j. If heat detec-
tors were used to shut down elevator power prior to sprin-
kler operation, the heat detector was required to have a
lower temperature rating and higher sensitivity when com-
pared to the sprinkler. Obviously, in order to accomplish
the desired sequence, the heat detector must actuate earlier
than the sprinkler under the fire condition. If the sequence
somehow occurred in reverse order, water could be released
on live electrical components as well as on the braking
National Fire Alarm Code Handbook 2007
mechanism, which is exactly the condition that is trying
to be avoided.
Heat detectors also had to be installed within 2 ft of
each sprinkler head in the elevator machine room and
hoistway. This spacing was to ensure the heat detector
sampled, as nearly as practicable, the temperature that the
sprinkler was sensing.
The second area for confusion was a requirement in
NFPA 72A, 1987 edition, htstallation, Maintenance and
Use of'Local Protective Signaling Systems, under the sec-
tion for "Installation and Design' that stated "The
performance of automatic control functions shall not inter-
fere with power for lighting or for operating elevators."
This requirement remains in NFPA 72, 2007 edition, as
paragraph 6.16.2.1. Elevator main line power shutdown is
a fire safety control function, and the operation is intention-
ally designed as such. This operation does not interfere
with operating power for the elevators; it instead controls
the power shutdown.
NFPA 72 Elevator Shutdown (1999)
A weak link in the reliability of "shunt trip" was recog-
nized and addressed by NFPA 72, 1999 edition. It was
often found during periodic testing of the shunt trip feature
that the power needed to trip the shunt trip breaker was
not available. This lack of power was usually because a
circuit breaker that supplies the needed power was in the
off position. The requirement for supervising that power
was established in NFPA 72, 1999 edition. Absence of the
power required a supervisory signal to be indicated at
the fire alarm control unit and required annunciators. An
example of a typical method of providing the elevator
power shunt trip supervisory signal was included in the
Appendix.
NFPA 72 Elevator Shutdown (2002)
In NFPA 72, 2002 edition, it was made clear that the
initiating devices (heat detectors and flow switches) used
to initiate main line power disconnect (shunt trip) are re-
quired to be monitored for integrity by the fire alarm control
unit. As mentioned previously, if the initiating devices were
not connected to the fire alarm system, a broken wire, for
instance, could disable the circuit and go unnoticed until
found during periodic testing. This requirement increases
the operational reliability of the circuit and helps to ensure
the shunt trip feature will operate properly when called on
in an emergency.
ASME A17.1a [2005] Supplement
In this supplement, wording was added to require that heat
detectors and sprinkler flow switches used to initiate power
removal comply with the requirements of NFPA 72.
728 Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls
ASME Al7.1 S [2005] "Special" Supplement
This special supplement included significant rewrites of
certain chapters. Unfortunately, when a large modification
is made to a code, there is the potential for something
"slipping through the cracks" or the undoing of some
previously coordinated efforts. The following issue may
be cause for some confusion until it is addressed in a future
edition.
Previous editions of ASME A17.1 exempt the power
removal requirements for sprinklers in the pit if the installa-
tion complies with the NFPA 13 requirement for installa-
tion of sprinklers at or less than 24 in. from the bottom of
the pit. The new wording is in more of a performance
language and makes the decision very subjective. A com-
parison of the wording follows:
Wording prior to Al7.IS [20051
... . . means shall be provided to automatically dis-
connect the main line power supply to the affected elevator
upon or prior to the application of water from sprinklers
located in the machine room or in the hoistway more than
24 inches above the pit floor."
Wording of A17.IS 12005J
` . . . where elevator equipment is located or its enclo-
sure is configured such that application of water from
sprinklers could cause unsafe elevator operation, means
shall be provided to automatically disconnect the main line
power supply to the affected elevator upon or prior to the
application of water." Note: there is no longer mention of
sprinklers installed 24 inches or less from the bottom of
the pit.
Sprinklers and Fire Alarm Initiating Devices in
Hoistways
A review of the requirements of ASME A17.1, Safety
Code for Elevators and Escalators; NFPA 72, National Fire
Alarm Code; and NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of
Sprinkler Systems, considered collectively, would suggest
that there may be no need to install fire alarm initiating
devices for the purpose of initiating main line power dis-
connect (shunt trip) in hoistways of passenger elevators.
If the hoistway of a passenger elevator is noncombustible
and the car enclosure materials meet the requirements of
ASME A17.1 (which should be the case with all new
elevator installations), then NFPA 13 does not require
sprinklers at the top of the hoistway. Thus, with respect to
requirements for the top of the hoistway, if the sprinkler
is not needed, then the corresponding requirement for the
smoke detector that would be used for recall goes away as
well as the corresponding requirement for the heat detector
used for power disconnect. Further, if the noncombustible
elevator hoistway does not contain combustible hydraulic
fluids, NFPA 13 does not require sprinklers at the bottom
of the hoistway (discussed further below). If no sprinklers
are installed anywhere in the hoistway (including the eleva-
tor pit) then there is no requirement for initiating devices
to be installed anywhere in the hoistway for either recall
or shutdown. It is important to recognize that this applies
to passenger elevators only and not to freight elevators.
So, for freight elevators, the sprinkler at the top of the
hoistway is still required and, therefore, so is the smoke
detector (or other automatic initiating device), as well as
the heat detector used for power disconnect.
NFPA 13 requires sidewall spray sprinklers to be in-
stalled at the bottom of each elevator hoistway not more
than 0.61 in (2 ft) above the floor of the pit. However,
there is an exemption for the sprinkler requirement for
enclosed, noncombustible elevator shafts that do not con-
tain combustible hydraulic fluids. Realistically, this exemp-
tion is rarely observed and more than likely, sprinklers will
be installed in elevator pits. In addition, the ASME A 17.1
2000 and 2004 codes and supplements ASME A 17.1 a
119971 through ASME A17.1a [2005] indicate that main
line power disconnect is not required if those sprinklers
are installed no more than 0.61 m (2 ft) from the floor of
the pit. However, this prescriptive exemption has been
replaced in ASME A 17.1 S [20051 Special Supplement with
subjective language and not the clear exemption that earlier
editions provided. (Refer to previous section ASME
A I T I S [20051 "Special" Supplement for additional de-
tails.) It is therefore extremely important to know what
edition of ASME A17.1 is in force.
In any event, current requirements for elevator recall
initiated from the pit allow initiation from either a sprinkler
waterflow device or from an automatic fire detection ini-
tiating device (usually a heat detector).
Maintaining a high degree of reliability for the fire
alarm system is fundamental to the purpose of the National
Fire Alarm Code. For that reason, paragraph 6.16.3.7 of
the 2007 edition permits the use of other automatic fire
detection devices where ambient conditions prevent the
reliable use of smoke detectors. Elevator hoistways are
often locations where ambient conditions exceed those for
which the smoke detectors have been tested and listed.
When automatic fire detection devices are needed within
a hoistway, the selection of the devices must consider
system reliability as well as the performance needed to
provide the intended system operation.
In summary, when sprinklers are installed in an eleva-
tor hoistway (either at the top or bottom), appropriate auto-
matic fire detection devices are required to provide elevator
recall. (See 6.16.3.12.1 and 6.13.3.12.2 of the Code.) If
any of these installed sprinklers are located more than 0.61
m (2 ft) from the floor of the pit (ASME A17.1a [2005]
2007 National Fire Alarm Code Handbook
Supplement 2 • Interfacing Fire Alarm Systems and Elevator Controls 729
and earlier), or where elevator equipment is located or its
enclosure is configured such that application of water from
sprinklers (in any location) could cause unsafe elevator
operation (ASME A 17.1 S 120051), appropriate automatic
fire detection devices are required to provide power shut-
down. Requirements for elevator shutdown are addressed
separately from those for elevator recall, and ASME A 17.1
prohibits the use of smoke detectors for the purpose of
power shutdown. It is worthwhile to note that main line
elevator power shutdown is always required when sprin-
klers are installed in the elevator machine room.
Workshop on Emergency Use of Elevators
In March 2004, a workshop co -sponsored by ASME,
NFPA, NIST, ICC, iAFF, US Access Board, and others
was held in Atlanta, Georgia, to consider the challenges
of evacuation of high-rise buildings in fire and other emer-
gencies. It was a three-day conference with over 120 life
safety professionals attending from various communities
concerned with high-rise safety and egress. There were
two distinct focus points, one on the use of elevators by
firefighters and one on the use of elevators for occupants
during emergencies. The participants were split up into
breakout groups to develop recommendations as to how
elevators in high-rise buildings could be put to better use
during emergencies. The goal was to develop proposals
that could be submitted to various code -writing organiza-
tions for consideration. A steering committee made up
of all the sponsoring organizations reviewed the breakout
groups' recommendations and formulated plans for the
next steps to be taken and also to identify the appropriate
standards -making bodies to which to direct the proposals.
Some of the consistently repeating themes were as follows:
• The culture change since 9-11 and the reluctance of
occupants to stay in place and await further instruc-
tions
• Elevators not meant to be a substitute for stairs
• Evacuation of people with mobility impairments
• Water entering hoistways
• Lack of firefighter confidence in using elevators
• Entrapment caused by activation of shunt trip
• Re-educating people to use elevators for egress after
years of "don't use the elevators — use the stairs"
instructions
There were also repeating recommendations from the
breakout groups such as mandatory adoption of ASME
A17.3 everywhere; ensuring the reliability of Phase I and
Phase II operation; better training of firefighters on elevator
operation: enforcing the building emergency plan; sprin-
klering all buildings; the need for "real-time" communica-
National Fire Alarm Code Handbook 2007
tion to building occupants/emergency responders: and the
use of compartmented and pressurized lobbies/vestibules.
Consistent themes relative to the needed process in-
cluded utilizing a risk/hazard analysis, involving firefight-
ers in the decision making, and involving the appropriate
committees (A 17.1, B44, model building and fire codes,
and NFPA Codes and standards).
The two active task groups resulting from the work-
shop efforts (Task Group on the Use of Elevators by Fire-
fighters and Task Group on the Use of Elevators for
Occupant Egress) are perfonning comprehensive risk/
hazard analyses of various emergency scenarios plus the
residual hazards and the mitigation of the hazards. The
task groups have estimated completion sometime late 2007
to early 2008. The groups will then put forth their conclu-
sions and outline their recommendations. The task groups,
made up of various industry components (research, fire
service, architect and engineering, codes and standards
makers, disability interests, and other industry members),
have embarked on a journey that will command a Hercu-
lean effort.
These efforts will most certainly culminate in a signifi-
cant impact on the interface and interaction between sprin-
kler, fire alarm, and elevator systems.
CONCLUSION
A historical perspective has been given here to help provide
a better understanding of both the actual code evolution and
some of the thought processes that went into the interface
requirements for elevator and fire alarm systems. During
the past decade it became very evident that the issues faced
in addressing these challenges were ones that were not
"black or white." There were, and continue to be, many
varying shades of gray. One thing, though, is very clear.
There is now a spirit of willingness and cooperation be-
tween industry, code enforcement, and the fire service to
continue to work together to find the best solutions to
achieve the highest level of safety and reliability for the
passengers and emergency personnel who use elevators.
With more focus on improving building evacuation time
by rethinking and improving the egress process, with per-
formance -based design approaches, and with new technol-
ogies providing more options, that cooperation will need
to continue as we face even more difficult and challenging
decisions ahead.
