General information
Firefighters' elevators are normal passenger or freight elevators that remain operational in the event of a fire and provide firefighters with a fast access route to the source of the fire or a fast rescue route when evacuating people.
Applicable locations are airports, hospitals, special buildings and high-rise buildings in which firefighters' elevators are mandatory.
Safety-related requirements for firefighters' elevators are basically regulated in the EN 81-72 elevator standard. However, many regional fire protection authorities have their own specific requirements which must also be taken into account and which partly deviate from the standard.
The initial acceptance test is carried out by: approved inspection body (e.g. TÜV) + regional fire protection authority.
Talk button in the fire department access level
In the event of a fire, the noise level can rise sharply, e.g. due to the running pressurized ventilation system. Often, the ambient noise in the fire department access level is so loud that interference-free communication on the hands-free system is no longer guaranteed.
The speech button in the control panel then makes it possible to communicate without any problems anyway. When the firefighting mode is activated, the intercom is used as a hands-free unit by default and as specified by the standard.
If the noise level is too high, it is possible to switch from hands-free to intercom by pressing the pushbutton. The intercom then remains active for the duration of the firefighting operation. The call station is only reset to handsfree mode when firefighting operations are switched off and on again.
