Abstract
This unique Elevator Alert Status Indicator (EASI) system monitors a number of elevators for different error conditions. If a problem occurs, a pictorial representation of the problem will be shown on a screen, along with an alphanumeric elevator location. This system will also sound an alarm for certain high importance problems to get the attention of maintenance and other staff of the building. However, any fault condition can be chosen to sound an alarm.

An EASI system for monitoring an elevator arrangement, comprising:
- a detector arranged to detect an event or a condition in, or near an associated elevator car;
- and
- a processor that is configured to monitor a status of the elevator arrangement,
- by communicating with the detector for receiving data indicative of any event or condition detected by the detector,
- a display that provides an output that associates the monitored status of the elevator wherein the processor at a time of any detected event or condition with an indication of the detected event or condition that is communicated to the display at a location remote from the processor, wherein the display is a visual output indicative of the detected event and a corresponding audible output of a detected sound, and
- a control that operates the elevator wherein the processor also provides an output to the control that operates the elevator.
