| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that normal [high] temperatures
in elevator machine rooms will activate sprinklers, which could lead to unwanted
water discharge, which could lead to unsafe conditions [e.g. water and electrical
equipment causing electrocution] or failure of the elevator system, which
could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that sprinklers will be damaged
[e.g. accidental impact by service personnel], which could lead to unwanted
water discharge, which could lead to unsafe conditions [e.g. water and electrical
equipment causing electrocution] or failure of the elevator system, which
could lead to harm to persons. |
