Section R. 408.7030 - Elevator and escalator monitoring
Rule 30. All elevators and escalators may be monitored from a remote location. Monitoring must consist of passing information from the elevator control to a remote location for the collection of information. A device may not have the capability to adjust, alter, change, or reset any switch, parameter, or system of the elevator control from any location except the corresponding car, hoistway, machine room, lobby panel, or fire command center. The device must not be capable of bypassing or resetting any safety or electrical protective device. The monitoring means may be used to initiate car and hall landing calls or to secure floors from access. Information collected must be made available to the department upon request. A system related to the operation of an elevator or escalator that interfaces and communicates with the device and any other device must also comply with this rule. Remote connections found to be in violation of the above requirements must be removed and prohibited from future use.
