| Non Arrêt Ascenseur Elevator/Lift Non-Stop Explanation: I know it sounds unlikely, and I'm still not sure, but have a look at the following link: http://www.lonsdaleelevator.com/safety_fire.html It is also mentioned elsewhere. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2008-06-17 19:29:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It does seem a bit literal, but.... |

| Non Arrêt Ascenseur emergency recall Explanation: I've found the term 'Emergency Recall system' used on quite a few UK and US sites... Here is a link from a UK lift manufaturer site which gives a list of options for lifts: Options Door close pushbutton VIP control Automatic heavy Up/Down program Floor position indicaton Door hold button Arrival gongs car and landing Emergency recall Trip counter http://www.lionliftcontrols.co.uk/products.htm There seem to be lots more hits for US sites with this term, ntoably in analysis of the WTC evacuation. In this doc about it, it states that "Local Law 5 (New York 1973) requires that elevators be provided with an emergency recall system. This requirement was incorporated subsequently into the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, which governs elevator design and operation in all present U.S. building codes" http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/NISTNCSTAR1-7.pdf And again, http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3737/is_200603/ai_n1... "Since 1973, ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators,12,13 has required that elevators travelling 25 feet (7.2 meters) or more be equipped with a feature that, when initiated, will return the elevator to the main floor or another designated floor of the building. This feature is commonly referred to as Phase I Emergency Recall Operation and can be started with a key-switch or by a fire alarm initiating device. " HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-06-17 19:53:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry Tony - I've just seen your note to Dave - it's probably valid for the links I've given too...! |

peer agreement (net): +1| Non Arrêt Ascenseur Elevator in Phase 2 Fire Safety Mode Explanation: Hi Tony- this might be worth googling. "Phase 2" pops up a lot -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-06-17 20:34:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Unless it's a region-specific term of course -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-06-17 20:36:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or "Phase 2 Firefighters Mode", which also appears a lot |

| Non Arrêt Ascenseur skip-stop Explanation: I did find this term in relation to elevators, but not in a fire safety context. I do think that "skip" gets the meaning across, so I'll put this up just in case it helps you. |

peer agreement (net): +3| Non Arrêt Ascenseur (floor) bypass Explanation: I came across the word "bypass" in the document below; don't know if it's of any use, but you can be the judge of that! Typical functions lift systems can perform: (a) Carry their rated loads at contract speed (b) Run from bottom to top floor in a prescribed time (c) Communicate with the outside for assistance (d) Provide emergency lighting in car in the event of power failure **(e) Bypass a floor if fully loaded** http://www.mfb.vic.gov.au/asset/PDF/GL-31 v1 r16.08.07.pdf It doesn't mention anything to do with bypassing a floor in the event of a fire, as in your case, but nevertheless, maybe you could use some phrase or other including the word "bypass". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-06-17 20:41:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, here's one reference (American) that does use "bypass" in connection with floors affected by fire: Automatic devices should be installed to allow elevator cars to bypass all fire-involved floors. Under no circumstances should elevators be stopped at the fire-involved floors. https://www.urmia.org/library/docs/EmergResponse1and2.pdf |
