The state sent the yearly requirement for Gen 2 elevators we currently have on service:

" The operation of the coated steel belt monitor shall be tested to verify proper functionality of the device. California Labor Code 7318: [Ref. Circular Letter E-10-04]"

How is Otis testing these belt monitoring devices to satisfy the State requirements?

Here's the link to the circular.

Is there a testing procedure that simulates a failure on the monitoring device which causes the elevator to shut down?
