The reason why it kept buzzing after the door had opened was because there appeared to be an issue with the door operator. Normally with Dover fire service, the buzzer quits and the fire hat goes out once the elevator reaches the main floor and opens its doors. Notice how the door keeps jumping after it's open? Looks like it needs maintenance.

On Dovers and TKEs, the light usually goes out with the buzzer. Makes no sense. It should stay lit to inform that the elevator is in fire service.

The door, was opening and closing like crazy when it was opened, the fire hat shouldn't blink unless a smoke detector in the shaft had been activated.

It's Dover/Thyssenkrupp's way of having the fire hat blink while the buzzer pulses with it as their saying of "Exit now".

@@GaryCameron780 That's what I thought when I first saw the video, but listen to the way it beeps, it's not constantly beeping at the same rate. So it has to be a door malfunction. Not to mention the guy who did this video should know about this so they can get an elevator mechanic to fix it.

Just a few things to point out here: 1) In Phase I fire service, once the elevator reaches the first floor and doors completely open, the Firefighter hat should become completely stable and should not be blinking. The blinking hat signifies there is a door operator fault, or the smoke detector/sprinklers were triggered in the shaft, which may result in a shunt trip cutting off all power to the elevator. 2) That faulty door operator should be fixed. It looks like its having a stroke. The door should remain stable in its open position and shouldn't keep bouncing like that. Needs help. 3) When performing an elevator inspection, in Fire Service Phase II, the door bumpers and electric eye should be checked to make sure that they don't reopen the doors even if they are triggered. 4) When not in Fire Service mode, the elevator's door access key should be tested as well to make sure it's functional. 5) Probably not a default procedure, but when inspecting an elevator, the alarm bell should be tested to make sure it works. With all of these issues pointed out, I'm actually surprised to find out that the inspector actually passed the elevator inspection. Not very cool.

That comment below is spot-on. The buzzer and fire hat should shut off completely when the elevator has reached the recall floor and the door has opened. That front door operator is fricked up and needs work.

@@GaryCameron780 Well I figured out why it was doing that a while ago. The fire hat was blinking because the door was having issues, did you see the way it was moving after it opened? Well after the door opens at the recall floor, the buzzer is supposed to turn off and remain there with the doors open. Until Phase 1 is turned off or phase 2 is activated from the key switch inside the elevator.

Most quietest dover impulse hydraulic elevator Ive ever heard on a video

Elevator inspector out of Florida just some things I had noticed didn’t see in case of fire signage at the first floor didn’t see Jamb braille at the first floor didn’t see phase 1 operations signage on the first floor didn’t see bumpers at strikes and can hear stainless clap when doors close door open limit seems to make and break at the limit of travel. Looks to me like Maintenance needs to be performed and less testing. The time it took anybody to make this video I’m sure much improvement could’ve been made to this elevator.

Don’t forget about there’s also mode on the fire dept mode Called reset

The front door is rocking off the open limit. Simple mechanical adjustment of the door is needed. Has to be done by authorized elevator technician.

Adjust your DOL limit , take care of that first buddy so your door close sequence could commence quicker.. during fire 🔥 service phase 2 I didn’t see you try to brake the electric eye the sensor needs to be bypass during fire service phrase 1 and phase 2 In case there is smoke 💨 in front of the sensor on the door if it has an electric eye Also make sure when you on a landing away from the recall floor turn phase 2 off to see if it returns back to the recall floor this applies to newer elevators in case there is a fire 🔥 you turn phase two off and the car returns to recall floor to get the other firefighters 🧯 so they could access the car and go help the rest of the team..., Safety first stay safe buddy

Shouldn't the fire hat stay on steady once the car is put in phase 2??? Blinking fire hat usually means a sprinkler or heat sensor is tripped in the motor room, or the system may shunt trip, leaving no power.

Nope. You can see that door disease when the door is fully opened. Its most likely causing the fire hat to blink.

Folks this is just a demonstration! I guarantee you he failed the inspection and wrote the issues in the logs. This was a generalization training the inspection process to see what it's like to inspect them. For those saying he has no clue what he's talking about, go out there and get hired to inspect them yourself. Otherwise you have no clue of what you're talking about. They have the knowledge and the know hows to do this and are trained.

There seems to be a relay problem with this elevator because when the doors are open they jitter each second

Why will it flashes?
