Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(See definition §
												8-1.1.)
(a) The functioning of an interlock to
						prevent the movement of the car shall not be dependent upon the closing of an
						electric circuit.
(b) Any force or
						forces used to perform any interlocking function shall be so arranged that
						their failure to cause the interlocking action will prevent the movement of the
						car. Interlocks employing springs, gravity or a combination of the two forces,
						may be used when approved by the Industrial Commissioner if the device is found
						to be safe, practical and reliable. These forces, however, are not considered
						desirable if they are arranged so that their failure would create an unsafe
						condition.
Note: Helical tension springs are considered
						  particularly undesirable.
(c) The force or forces used to perform any
						interlocking function to prevent the movement of the car shall be such that
						even without lubrication the intended functioning of the interlock shall be
						completely performed.
(d)
						Interlocks shall be so designed and installed as to prevent, as far as
						possible, being tampered with or intentionally rendered inoperative (except as
						noted in §
												8-1.57  covering
						emergency release). (See also §§
												8-1.6,
						8-1.58, 8-
						1.59.)

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(See definition §
												8-1.1)
(a) The functioning of an electric
						contact to prevent the movement of the car shall not be dependent upon the
						closing of an electric circuit.
(b)
						Electric contacts shall be designed so that they are directly opened by a lever
						or other device attached to and operated by the door or gate. Contacts
						employing springs, gravity or a combination of the two forces, may be used when
						approved by the Industrial Commissioner if the device is found to be safe,
						practical and reliable. These forces, however, are not considered desirable if
						they are arranged so that their failure would create an unsafe condition.
Note: Helical springs are considered particularly
						  undesirable.
(c) The force
						or forces employed to open the contact shall be such that even without
						lubrication of the mechanism the intended functioning of the electric contact
						shall be completely performed.
(d)
						Contacts shall be so designed and installed as to prevent, so far as possible,
						being tampered with or intentionally rendered inoperative (except as noted in §
												8-1.57  covering
						emergency release). (See also §§
												8-1.6,

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The
						emergency release shall be in the car, plainly visible to the occupants of the
						car and reasonably, but not easily accessible to the operator.
(b) To operate the car under emergency
						conditions it shall be necessary for the operator to hold the emergency release
						in the emergency position. The emergency release shall be so constructed and
						installed that it cannot be readily tampered with or "plugged" in the emergency
						position or intentionally rendered inoperative.
(c) Rods, connections and wiring used in the
						operation of the emergency release, that are accessible from the car, shall be
						enclosed to prevent being tampered with readily.
These specifications cover the principal features
							 with which interlocks, electric contacts and emergency releases shall comply
							 before they will receive the approval of the Industrial Commissioner. The
							 technical fulfillment of these requirements does not assure the approval of a
							 device if examination and test disclose a lack of practicability, durability or
							 reliability.
