The fault reset controller is the only way to clear the fault. The governor switch contact was not an issue. We have been given a code reference about manual resetting of governors but doesn't speak to controls.

Manual reset includes means such as a finger, hand or cable-actuated lever, cam, etc., or some form of electromechanical actuation from the location of elevator controllers located outside the hoistway or the enclosure as specified in 2.7.6.5. .
