Elevator Recall

[mshields]

I know that you need elevator recall anytime that you have an elevator with vertical travel of 25 feet or more. But in what code is that indicated.

Also, with an addressable system, so long as you've got smokes in front of the elevators, implimenting recall ought to be as easy as providing programming of the FACP and providing communications from the FACP to the elevator controls. Correct?

Thanks,

Mike

Yes to the second, and also at least a smoke in the shaft and equipment room, and machine room, some places get into shunt trip if you have sprinklers in the shaft

Either elevator code or ibc chapter on elevators to first question
