During annual testing we had an issue with the governor switch. When governor is tripped the controller latches a fatal fault. There are two ways to reset this, fault reset on the controller or put the car from inspection to automatic back to inspection.
During testing the governor did not reset correctly. Subsequently we discovered a noise from the governor and proceeded make the repair. While on hoistway access we got on top of the car, gained car top inspection and corrected the problem. In doing so we broke the governor switch contact. This rendered trapped on the cartop at the top of the hoistway as we could not cycle to auto.
I understand what the code states about manual reset but its not clear that it must be on the controller. Is anyone else having an issue like this? We have Elevator Control Pixel controls with Hollister equipment. I'm wondering what the manufacturers and MCE maybe doing with this.
