|
1. |
Elevator Equipment Information: Document pertinent data such as type, operation, control, capacity and speed of equipment, floors served, stops and openings, manufacturer, maintenance contractor, date of installation, modernization date (if applicable), and special features installed. Where applicable, observe the operation of the supervisory control system for each group of elevators to determine if it is performing to design criteria in dispatching the elevators in an efficient manner. |
|
2. |
Elevator Performance: Review the performance for all elevators to determine if the operation is equal to the original design criteria for that generation of equipment. Record individual car and door performance to measure the existing conditions as compared to industry or the original design standards. |
|
3. |
Elevator Equipment Review: Review all elevator equipment in machine rooms, hoistways, pits, car interiors, entrances, signals and fixtures. Information shall be recorded on forms as to the condition of major components. |
|
4. |
Maintenance Records: Study all available maintenance records to determine if there are excessive call-backs and if caused by the lack of preventative maintenance. |
