  • Some Otis elevators have a key switch that says Secure/Clear, this key switch can be used to lock off any floor in the elevator. I'll show you how it works in this video! It is a very interesting feature, note that not all Otis Elevators have this feature. The easiest way to tell is to look for a Secure/Clear key switch and a restricted floor light. This feature is also referred to as Car Secure Access
    I did this with permission from a building manager who locks and unlocks the elevator on a regular basis. Yes they do use this feature quite often, normally after hours the 2nd floor does get restricted so the public cannot go up there. I also knew what I was doing since I read a document from Otis about this feature, the document can be found here: www.cgs-closeou...

    Hey everyone, I just want to say that I apologize for not being able to show the COP buttons when I was restricting and clearing a floor. The key switch is spring-loaded so it requires 2 hands which is hard to film. I hope you all enjoyed the video!

    Modern series 1's has a separate key switches called "access" which will unlock the floor that is secured without pressing code

      But do they also have secure/clear feature or is it a different system? Because I know some that you turn a key to the on position lock off a floor and then you turn to the off to keep it unlocked

    My question: Whichever floor button you press first is the one that you are setting to restrict?

    What does a secure/key do on elevators I’ve never seen anything like that before

      I saw on another CZcams video there was an elevator that had a restricted floor and I heard if you hold the button down it will take you to that floor and if you press door open it will open

  • @pineappleroad

    when holding the key in the secure position, after pressing the floor you want to secure, do you enter the code you want to use, or is it a pre-set code

  • @djelevators1254
    @djelevators1254 Před 4 lety

    Do you press the current floor 4 times or always G?

    • @Jamestube8439
      @Jamestube8439  Před 4 lety

      You select the floor you want followed by pressing G 3 or 4 times.
