"Smoke free facility, I wonder if that applies if the building is on fire"... classic Andrew quote

I've been waiting to see this for years! I remember reading the description of the called to work video and was wondering where the re-take was. Glad I finally get to see it tonight.

I have always wanted to see a better take of this in Fire Service! :D

This is a very interesting set up on how this elevator worked with the fire service feature on this elevator before ThyssenKrupp modernized it

Never thought that I would be waiting for a service elevator

Oh my! I remember this video from a long long time ago! That's when I realized that my AEP Power Co. lock has the same Y1 key.

Even though this would be unsafe, I still would kill for a ride on a US Elevator of this model. They are truly one of a kind.

Huge fan, new elevator photographer in town

Can’t wait to watch a classic from you ;)

It’s funny how elevators and fire alarm keys have these funny letter/number names (like the Simplex B key)

imagine a firefigher trying to rescue someone, using a lift w/ fire service enabled and getting stuck in there.

This is very unsafe, especially for a fire fighter

I can see that you are trained to do all of this with the fire service mode on the elevator.

This video is sure a DieselDucy Classic. Really like it!

I find that U.S. elevators are always weird (and a bit cheap)... That fire service demo has got to be one of the more interesting ones out there, that's for sure!

Ask if you can do it on the modded elevator now?

00:00:57 loved how you called the lantern the “dinger thing” This elevator has since been modernized

We have a classic lift (elevator) at work you have to open 2 sliding doors to get in and out

There’s another video of this elevator in for fire service to!

What would happen if you switched it right to off when taking out of phase 1?

For you dieselducy, make a trip down to Tampa FL sometime. Lot's of places to check out especially at the JW Marriott newly built with Florida's first Mitsubishi lifts. Stop by the Columbia restaurant in Ybor City when or if you are there! 😊😊

I once worked in an office building where random office keys would work in the fire call key switch. A few people took advantage of that while others wondered why the elevator would shoot down to the lobby. Was that way ‘til they modernized them.

It was at the Elmwood parking garage

Guess this is unreleased where he get interrupted by office calls.

Even though fire service isn’t really necessary here, I can see this being a reason the elevator got modded.

Good thing that they moded it

Here's another dangerous aspect: when you turn the key off, It should send the car automatically to the recall floor, but it doesn't.

How did you get your older US keys? For collective purposes I want them, but can't seem to find them anywhere accessible to me.

That's a nice 1984 US Scenic. Garage is in good shape for its age too.

“Smoke free facility, I wonder if that applies if the building is on fire” Needless to say I don’t think it applies if the building is on fire.

What’s the outro music called.

Where i live, call cancel buttons are non existent (however, in fire service, selecting a different floor will cancel the previous call)

Remember when you did this and you got called into work?

What happened to that one scooter you had at the time this videos was taken?

Is this one of the reasons why the elevator got modernized

How could you hold storage with videos from many years ago and videos from this year?

Nice US Elevator but they modernized by thyssenkrupp in 2015 at the Elmwood Parking garage

Hello im huge fan of u

I agree

1:04 what is that button suppose to be for?

Well, the in car signage may be wrong regarding “call canceling”. But the arrival lantern doesn’t “ring” when on Fire Recall. That red button “that does nothing”, isn’t a button. Read the writing on the button cap. This “non button” lights up during the recall itself. It illuminates during the recall function. This U.S. Elevator is early 1980’s vintage, like 1984 or thereabouts. Fire Service, apart from you believing it should or shouldn’t behave in a certain way, seemed to operate under the code that was in force 30 some years ago. Until the elevator is brought down to the main fire floor while on phase two (in the car), you can indeed turn phase two off inside the car and it will still run on phase two until it’s brought to the main fire floor, “1” in this case and the doors open fully and remain open. Then phase two is dropped out of the control circuitry. Then phase one can be turned off to return the car to automatic service, then the lantern will ding. It’s not unsafe as some understood your description to be.

1:03 “That button does nothing.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You see that red button that does not do anything when you press it? That is supposed to be the call cancel button, and it is broken completely.

Im a huge fan!!! Hope to be in a vid someday!

I made a video to see if you would comment on it.

See, that thing at 3:30 where you didn't know where it was going, would be very unsafe in a real fire. Most elevators give you COMPLETE control, but this one seems to still do some *important* things on it's own. Not having a call cancel? Yeah. That could be deadly if you accidentally hit the button and can't get off.

Probably a good thing they modernized this

Can you do it on the modern elevator in the elmwood parking garage

Im assuming thats why it was modernized because it was breaking alot of fire service safety standards

2:13 uh see flames

And actually this is one of the reasons Id say newer elevators are better because this doesnt have any of the fancy bells and whistles you would see nowadays

yes i love us

This never never will be a U.S. Elevator ever again

Ein

I love Elevators. do you?

This never never will be a U.S. elevator ever again!

why this is on fire service

The first thing you do is the first elevator

2020/2022

Did you somehow get permission to put the elevator into fire mode? I don’t know why you even put a fire service mode on this, how can a building made of bricks and asphalt catch on fire?

Happy May Day

I wonder if my DNA is still on those buttons after me visiting it in 2015

Don't know why the elevator is in fire service I don't like it

we

I don’t like that

Definitely not very safe.

Ohhh U.S. Elevator, so sad they made trash stuff for most if their existence

1:56 what the heck!?!?!? I see a pedestrian signal

To bad this is a primere

This is a very interesting set up on how this elevator worked with the fire service feature on this elevator before ThyssenKrupp modernized it
