predetermined weight can be adjusted.
D. Group Auxiliary Operations: In addition to primary operation system features, provide the
following operational features for elevators and elevator groups where indicated:
1. Standby Power Operation: On activation of standby power, cars are returned to a

designated floor and parked with doors open. One car is returned at a time, with
priority given to loaded cars. If a car cannot be returned after two attempts, it is
removed from the system. When all cars have been returned or removed from the
system, one car is automatically placed in service. If car selected for service cannot
operate within 60 seconds, the system removes car from service and places another
car in service. Cars can be manually put in service on standby power, either for
return operation or for regular operation, by switches in control panel located at fire
command station at ground floor. Manual operation causes automatic operation to
cease.
2. Standby Power Operation: On activation of standby power, cars are returned, one at
a time, to a designated floor and parked with doors open. If a car cannot be returned,
it is removed from the system. When all cars have been returned or removed from
the system, one car can be put in service on standby power by a selector switch in
control panel located at fire command station at ground floor.
3. Battery-Powered Lowering: If power fails, cars that are at a floor remain at that floor,
