Which device is responsible for sending recall commands to elevators during a fire event?

• A. The Manual Call Point.
• B. The Fire Alarm Control Panel.
• C. The Zone Map.
• D. The Battery Charger.

Answer: (B)

When elevators are recalled during a fire, the signal comes from the Fire Alarm Control Panel. This panel acts as the central command for the building’s fire alarm system, coordinating actions across devices and sending the elevator recall commands so the cars return to a safe floor and stop normal operation for safety. The Manual Call Point is simply a device occupants use to trigger the alarm, not to control elevator recall. The Zone Map is a reference showing where devices are located, not a control signal, and the Battery Charger merely powers system components, not issue recall commands.
