8.6.1.6.

3 Controllers, Wiring, and Wiring Diagrams*

(a) Up-to-date wiring diagrams detailing circuits of all electrical protective devices (see 2.26.2) and critical operating circuits (see 2.26.3) shall be available in the machine room. (b) The interiors of controllers and their components shall be cleaned when necessary to minimize the accumulation of foreign matter that can interfere with the operation of the equipment. (c) Temporary wiring and insulators or blocks in the armatures or poles of magnetically operated switches, contactors, or relays on equipment in service are prohibited. (d) When jumpers are used during maintenance, repair, or testing, all jumpers shall be removed and the equipment tested prior to returning it to service. Jumpers shall not be stored in the machine space, hoistway, or pit (e) Control and operating circuits and devices shall be maintained in compliance with applicable Code requirements (see 8.6.1.1.2).

2.26.3 Contactors and Relays for Use in Critical Operating Circuits

Where electromechanical contactors or relays are provided to fulfill the requirements of 2.26.8.2, and 2.26.9.3 through 2.26.9.7, they shall

be considered to be used in critical operating circuits. If contact(s) on these electromechanical contactors or relays are used for monitoring purposes, they shall be prevented from changing state if the contact(s) utilized in a critical operating circuit fail to open in the intended manner. The ability of the monitoring contact(s) to perform this function shall not be solely dependent upon springs. 2.26.8.2 Two devices shall be provided to independently remove power from the brake. If the brake circuit is ungrounded, all power feed lines to the brake shall be opened. 2.26.9.3 The occurrence of a single ground or the failure of any single magnetically operated switch, contactor, or relay, or any single device that limits the leveling or truck zone, or any single solid state device; or a software system failure, shall not (a) render any electrical protective device ineffective (b) permit the car to move beyond the leveling or truck zone if any hoistway-door interlock is unlocked or if any hoistway door or car door or gate electric contact is not in the closed position (c) permit speeds in excess of those specified in 2.12.7.3.2, 2.26.1.4.1(d)(1), 2.26.1.5.10(b), and 2.26.1.6.6; (d) permit the car to revert to normal operation when on hoistway access switch operation (see 2.12.7.3) or on inspection operation (see 2.26.1.4) or on bypass operation (see 2.26.1.5); and (e) continue to make ineffective any hoistway door interlock or car-door or gate electric contact when either a hoistway access switch (see 2.12.7.3) or a BYPASS switch (see 2.26.1.5) is turned to the OFF position. 2.26.9.7 Where generator-field control is used, means shall be provided to prevent the generator from building up and applying sufficient current to the elevator driving-machine motor to move the car when the elevator motor control switches are in the OFF position. The means used shall not interfere with maintenance of an effective dynamic-braking circuit during stopping and standstill conditions.
*Merely supplying the safety circuit as an alternative does not meet the requirement.
