Firefighters' Service Visual Signal
ASME A17.1 requires the Firefighters' Service visual signal to activate as follows:
Smoke detectors located in the elevator machine room, hoistway, and elevator lobby
control illumination of the Firefighters' Service visual signal (Firefighters' hat graphic
symbol) in the elevator cab. When activated, smoke detectors in the elevator machine
room and the elevator hoistway shall cause the Firefighters' Service visual signal to
illuminate intermittently (flash) only in the elevator car(s) with equipment located in that
machine room or hoistway. When activated, smoke detectors in the enclosed elevator
lobbies shall cause the Firefighters' Service visual signal to illuminate with steady
illumination only in the elevator car(s) that serves those lobbies. Actuation of any smoke
detector shall initiate actuation of the building fire alarm panel.
