✦ Synopsis

To configure an elevator system , one must assemble a collection of components that satisfies both customer demands and safety regulations . Complex interactions among elevator system components complicate the configuration process . Not all components are compatible , and certain combinations will not meet functional or safety requirements . This document describes how a configuration engineer configures elevator systems . It describes what initial information the customer must supply , how to use this information to assemble a safe and functional elevator system , and what information must finally be supplied to the installers and inspectors . Also listed are inter-component constraints and design changes that can be made to remedy constraint violations .
