Which statement is true about elevator recall activation regarding detector locations?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only heat detectors can activate recall
• D. Manual pull stations only

Answer: (A)

Elevator recall is driven by the building’s fire alarm initiating devices. Phases of recall can be triggered by detectors and manual devices that are part of that system, located in areas where a fire could affect elevator operation—such as the elevator lobby, hoistway, and related zones—and not limited to a single device type. This means detectors in those locations (smoke or heat) and manual pull stations can activate recall. That’s why the statement is true: recall activation can be initiated by detectors at appropriate locations, and it isn’t restricted to only heat detectors or only manual pull stations.
