Other Options
Optional features include contact closure, i.e. battery lowering/
door opening system. The B option offers support for the states of
Arizona, Oregon, and Texas requirements to prevent “nuisance” fire
alarms by over-riding the “Control Power not Available” signal when
the Eaton Elevator Control ES disconnect is manually (intentionally)
turned off, and distinctive signaling for ON-OFF-TRIPPED conditions
(Option B).
All Eaton Elevator Control elevator disconnect switches are UL-Listed
and designed for safe access by qualified personnel. When main-
tenance or shutdown service is required, no energized parts are
exposed inside the enclosure when the disconnect switch is manual-
ly turned to the OFF position. For proper maintenance safety precau-
tions, always turn off incoming power to the Eaton Elevator Control
ES elevator switch when possible. When servicing any live electrical
equipment, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MAY CONTAIN
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. THESE CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BURN
OR DEATH. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM PROCEDURES
INVOLVING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS PROPERLY GROUND EQUIP-
MENT AND LOCKOUT ELECTRIC POWER (DE-ENERGIZE) BEFORE ACCESS-
ING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND ENCLOSURES. ALL DEADFRONTS AND
OTHER SHIELDING MUST BE IN PLACE BEFORE ENERGIZING THIS DISCON-
NECT SWITCH. TAKE NOTE OF AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IN THIS INSTRUCTION LEAFLET.
Shunt-Trip Operation
The disconnecting means is a shunt-trip operated switch. The control
power source for the shunt-trip operator is a 120 Vac supply originat-
ing in the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch. Current to the shunt-trip
device is switched by an isolation relay, which is in turn controlled by
the FACP.
The control signal may be either 24 Vdc from the FACP (Option R2)
or a “dry” contact closure in the FACP (Option R1). In the case of a
“dry” contact closure, the sensing voltage is 120 Vac originating in
the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch.
A key test switch (Option K) is included for testing the shunt-trip
circuit.
Supervisory Indication
Additionally, an optional separate relay can be specified to monitor
the 120 Vac control power source in the Eaton Elevator Control ES
switch. This relay (Option F1 or F3) is used to provide supervisory
indication of “Control Power Available” as required by NFPA 72

Maintenance
To properly maintain the Eaton Elevator Control ES Switch, the
operation of all components should be tested on an annual basis by
a qualified person.
• Take the necessary precautions to notify the occupants of the
building that the elevator is under maintenance and has been
taken out of service.
• Verify that power is on.
• Activate the Fire Alarm system contacts for the shunt trip.
Note: A Fire Alarm Technician may be required to exercise this step. If a
key test switch is included with the Elevator Control ES switch, it can be
used to shunt trip the unit without the Fire Alarm system.
• This will energize the Fire Alarm Isolation Relay and close relay
contact points 4 and 7.
• The closure of points 4 and 7 will energize the shunt trip coil,
open the contacts of the switch, and place the switch and handle
into the “TRIP” position.
• Verify that power has been disconnected and the handle is in the
“TRIP” position.
• Pull to the “RESET” position and allow handle to go to the “OFF”
position.
• Push to the “ON” position.
• Verify that power has been restored.
• The above sequence verifies that the contents of the Eaton
Elevator Control ES Switch are operating properly. If the above
sequence is unable to be completed, please contact Eaton.
Preventative Maintenance Measures
• Periodically check lug torque values and keep them in specifica-
tion.
• An annual review of the Eaton Elevator Control ES Switch is rec-
ommended. Preventative maintenance should include a thermal-
scan to uncover any portion generating excessive heat that indi-
cates an underlying problem.
• Any unexpected temperature increase, not related to load varia-
tions or ambient temperature could signal a lug torque issue.
• Maximum temperature at any lug should never exceed 75°C
under any operating condition or load.
• Keep switch exterior and interior clean. Always follow prevailing
safety rules when servicing this product throughout the year.
Frequently Asked Questions
For more information or if you have additional questions, please con-
tact EatonCare. 877-ETN-CARE (877-386-2273).
1. What UL-Listings and Agency Standards does the Eaton
Elevator Control ES have?
• NFPA-70 (NECT) 2008 Edition- Section 620.51(A)-(C), 620.62,
620.91(C)
• Canadian Electric Code Part 1 (2006 Edition) Section 38-051,
38-062
• ANSI/ASME A17.1-2007 - Section 2.8.3.3.2 NFPA-72 2007 Edition
- Section 6.16.4.4
All work shall be performed in accordance with the latest edition of
applicable standards, codes, and laws.
2. What kind of fuses does Eaton recommend?
LPJ_SP or LPJ_SPI (indication version) dual-element, time-delay
Class J fuses. The panel’s holders only accept this class of fuse. The
fuses are current limiting for good short-circuit and motor overload
protection, and minimizing are flash hazards. For general fuse siz-
ing the NECTArticle 430.52 allows sizing time-delay fuses used in
motor branch circuits to be sized for up to 175% of the motor full
load amps.
3. How does the Mechanical Auxiliary Contact Option
(Option A) work?
The “A” Option is a set of auxiliary contacts that are mechanically
interlocked to the main switch. The contacts are used to enable
or disable the Battery Lowering Device (BLD) for maintenance per
NFPA code. It is important to note that these contacts can differ-
entiate between manually turned OFF or shunted OFF (see table
below). The most common contact is the “NC,” normally closed.

4. How does the Mechanical Auxiliary Contact Option
(Option B) work?
The “B” Option provides a second set of auxiliary contacts that are
mechanically interlocked to the main switch. These contacts are
generally used to monitor the status of the switch. It is important to
note that these contacts will follow the state of the external handle
(see table below and Figure 5).

5. How does the Special Wiring Option for maintaining
Normal Status Signal to the FACP work?
For Arizona and other areas requiring this feature, internal wiring
between the molded case switch’s auxiliary contacts and the fire
relay’s contacts implements a logic circuit that monitors the
availability of shunt-trip power. The FR relay closes only if the main
switch is ON and the shunt-trip power fails. They will not close if the
main switch is manually turned OFF for maintenance, the Series B
contact will open, thus preventing a false alarm. (Refer to Table 4
and Figure 5).
6. Does the instantaneous trip feature built into the molded
case switch create the potential to strand passengers
when used on circuits with hydraulic elevators and auxil-
iary battery lowering?
No, the Battery Lowering Device (BLD) remains operational under a
shunt-trip condition. The shunt-trip mechanism within the switch is
utilized, not the instantaneous trip feature of the switch. The proper
fuse selection will prevent instantaneous trip. Even in the event
of an instantaneous trip condition, the alarm relay will respond the
same as when the switch is shunted off. There is no potential for
stranding passengers when units are installed with the Mechanical
Interlock Auxiliary Contact Option (Option A, battery back-up feature).
7. During a power loss, will the state of the switch change
state (F1 or F3 option)?
The Eaton Elevator Control ES switch will not change state. The
Eaton Elevator Control ES Voltage Monitoring Relay (F1 or F3 Option)
does meet NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code) requiring control
circuits to be monitored for presence of voltage. The unit is wired
to sense the voltage available to initiate the shunt-trip. It will change
state if a power loss occurs. It does not rely on the shunt-trip itself.
It will send a signal to the FACP upon power loss.
8. How does the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch
decide when the elevator needs to be lowered?
The Eaton Elevator Control ES switch does not make that deci-
sion. It provides a signaling means to the fire alarm controller and
BLD. The Elevator Control switch receives a signal from the FACP
to shunt-trip, which in some cases results in the use of the Battery
Lowering Device (BLD).
9. Does the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch require any
periodic maintenance?
While no specific maintenance is called for, it is always a good prac-
tice to annually inspect the unit for any lose fuse clips or connec-
tions, or accumulation of foreign material. See “Maintenance” in this
document for more details.
10. How do you hook up the dry contacts for the battery
back-up (BLD) option?
This will depend on how the Mechanical Auxiliary Contact (Option
A) will be connected. The A Option will follow the truth table noted
below. The most common connection will be between NC and COM.
Table 5.

* Auxiliary Switch Logic when blue wire with “+” marker is removed from NC terminal.
Where local authorities having jurisdiction permit, field removal of
the blue wire identified by “+” marker will change the Option A
switch logic. Removal has the effect of disabling the battery lowering
device when the switch is in the tripped position. Field installer must
ensure this meets all local codes before removal.
11. Where do you land the shunt-trip control wires on the
terminal strip?
For the R1 Option (120Vac), land the wires on Terminals 1 and 3 or
NOFAIN and NOFAIN (Normally Open Fire Alarm IN). For the R2
(24Vdc) option, land the positive on Terminal 1 and the closure on
Terminal 3, with the return on Terminal 7.
12. Where does the fire alarm get connected for monitoring
the status of the switch?
This is commonly referred to as the FR relay and is Option F1 or
F3. NCFR/COM FR is the most common. If an end of line (EOL)
resistor is used, install it parallel to the wires.
13. If an Eaton Elevator Control ES switch is ordered with a
wrong component, can the component be changed in
the field?
No. To comply with UL guidelines, product modifications can only be
completed by authorized factory personnel. Other modifications will
void the Eaton UL listing. One exception is the B-option. It can be
ordered and field installed; the part number is ECSBKIT.
14. Can the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch be used as a
service entrance switch?
The Eaton Elevator Control ES switch is UL-Listed per UL 98. Yes, it
can be used as a service entrance if properly labeled as such and
proper ground bond requirements are met.
15. Can the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch be fed in reverse
with the line from the bottom and load out the top of
the switch?
No, the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch will not properly function.

eaton corporation www.eaton.com
16. Can the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch be used in an
application where no fire alarm exists and can a smoke
detector be connected instead?
No, this is not in accordance with the fire code. Commercial smoke
detectors must be connected through the FACP.
17. Does the FR Relay (Option F1 or F3) change state during
a power loss?
Yes, the FR relay will change state. The FR relay is designed to moni-
tor voltage that is available for the shunt-trip. This is a requirement of
NFPA 72.
18. Is the operating handle of the Eaton Elevator Control ES
switch lockable in the “OFF” position only?
From the factory the handle can only be locked in the “OFF” position
and can accommodate a maximum of three padlocks. Field modifica-
tion to drill the shroud can allow locking in the “ON” position. Check
with your local AHJ for requirements. The switch will shunt trip as
usual, even with the handle locked ON.
19. What enclosures are available for the Eaton Elevator
Control ES Switch?
All ratings of the Eaton Elevator Control ES switch come standard
with a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure. Optional enclosures include UL
(NEMA) type 3R, 4, and 12. Consult the factory for other options.
20. Is a CPT always required in an Eaton Elevator Control
ES switch?
Yes, to meet NFPA codes, a CPT will be required to supply the
120Vac for shunt-tripping.
21. I lost the keyswitch, can I get another?
Yes. The part number is E22KS2 if the back of the switch says E22.
If the back of the switch says M22, the part number is M22-ES-MS1.
