Although I think the time out jumpers are a great idea! I still see that much more is needed.
An accident may still happen even with a jumper that times out. Would you agree?
When I have to jump out any part of a safety circuit I secure the car and visually check to see the car is empty. I then disable the door open circuit and/or place the elevator on inspection. With a meter I will check the safety circuit string and look for the openning. Then I will jump out the open portion of the safety circuit.
If the problem isn't so simple to follow my normal pattern of trouble-shooting then I adapt to the situation. Always keeping control of the elevator. And never allowing anyone but our personnel to ride while we are working on the elevator.
I am interested to learn how others approach and the procedures they use when out in the field. How can I improve on my pattern for a trouble call?
