Steps

  1. Confirm the design basis is A17.1 Section 2.27.7: Phase I Emergency Recall Operation and Phase II Emergency In-Car Operation.
  2. Confirm Phase I is initiated automatically by a fire alarm/smoke detector signal (or manually via a keyed switch) and returns the car to the designated recall level.
  3. Confirm Phase II requires a separate three-position key switch inside the car for manual firefighter control once in recall.
  4. Verify the required testing frequency against the specific AHJ's adopted code and local fire code — commonly cited as a monthly Phase I recall test plus at least one floor of Phase II operation — but confirm the exact section number and interval against the locally adopted edition, since numbering and enforcement responsibility (elevator code vs. fire code) can differ by jurisdiction.
  5. If the adopted A17.1 edition includes it, use Nonmandatory Appendix AA (Checklist for Firefighters' Emergency Operation) as a testing documentation template.
