摘要

An elevator system comprises a hoistway; an elevator car (12) arranged to move vertically within the hoistway; a plurality of landings opening into said hoistway; and a pit (22) located below a lowermost landing (18). The elevator system further comprises an engineer interface, e.g. a key switch, located at or near the lowermost landing arranged to generate a control signal for moving the elevator car to a predetermined parking position above the lowermost landing thereby allowing access to the pit.
