METHOD AND ELEVATOR CONTROL ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING A MAINTENANCE MODE OF AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM

A method for controlling a maintenance mode of an elevator system includes: recognizing a machine-detectable feature in an automated manner using a portable computer-controlled device of a technician and, subsequently, outputting a maintenance completion signal, the machine-detectable feature being within the elevator system such that it can only be detected by the computer-controlled device located outside an elevator shaft of the elevator system and wherein the machine-detectable feature is uniquely assigned to the elevator system; receiving the maintenance completion signal by an elevator controller controlling the maintenance mode and, subsequently, completing the maintenance mode. The method and an elevator control arrangement configured to carry out the method enables a maintenance mode to be completed by the technician in the elevator system in a simple, intuitive, and safe manner without the need for significant additional hardware.
