On the seventh day of Christmas ASME gave to me
Additions to emergency communications per 2.27.1.1.4
Halfway through 2021, Illinois adopted the 2019 code which introduced visual/text communication capabilities to aid the hearing impaired. With 2022, there's an added requirement for elevators that have 60 feet or more of rise.
If that's the case, the visual/text communication means must be located in the fire command center (FCC). If there is no FCC, then it must be located behind a locked (group 3) cover and the location shall be approved by the Fire Department.
If you have any questions regarding your specific situation, be sure to contact us.
