It would seem that everything is simple - there is only one call button. However, you should know that after clicking on it should light up the indicator light. If this does not happen, then you need to repeat the call.

After the elevator arrived and its doorsopened, you must make sure that the cabin is also delivered. In extremely rare cases, the automatic doors open before the arrival of the elevator itself, the passenger risks being in the elevator shaft.

After entering the cabin, press the buttonthe necessary floor, after which the doors close themselves, and the elevator will go. If the means of transportation is not set in motion, it is necessary to press the button with the designation of the floor on which the passenger is currently located, or “Stop”. In this case, the doors will open.

Button Designation

When it is held, the dispatcher responds to whom it is necessary to report detailed information about an emergency situation: an elevator is stuck, a malfunction of the system, an emergency, and so on.

The following buttons are not present in all elevators:

• “Doors” button (◄ ►) allows opening the doors and keeping them open;

Transportation of children

В правилах, составленных производителем, имеется next point: first an adult must go into the elevator, then the child. This is explained by the fact that many elevators are equipped with a cargo weigher (HLG), whose action is activated only when the load is above fifteen kilograms. At the same time, the time until the automatic closing of the door increases. If a small child comes first, then his weight may not be enough to trigger the system, and the cabin will close before the adult has time to enter. Such a situation may scare the baby and even cause fear of a confined space in the future.

For children of preschool age there are restrictions: they can not use the elevator without an adult. This is due to the same HLG, which may not recognize the presence in the cockpit of a little man. At the same time, the doors will close faster than usual, and the light in the elevator room will go out, as if there is nobody in it.

• take children’s transport into the cabin;
• go into the elevator.
