*Normally, primary is 1st floor and alternate is basement or 2nd floor; machine room recall alternate floor if machine room on primary floor
**Heat detectors in machine room to shunt trip electric power prior to sprinkler head within 2ft of pit floor
***Seperate pit heat detector not required by code because of pit sprinkler head within 2ft of pit floor
****By code, ceiling smoke detector permitted in unsprinklered hoistway only if required for smoke relief/exhaust
