Which component is used to call and send the lift to landings?

• A. Masonry Anchors
• B. Call/Send Control Station
• C. Platform Hand
• D. Lag Screws

Answer: (B)

The function being tested is how an escalator is directed to a specific landing. The Call/Send Control Station is the device that provides the call buttons at each landing and the send control to dispatch the escalator to that floor. When you press the call button at a landing, it sends a signal to the drive system to bring the unit to that landing; the send control works similarly to direct the car to a designated level from another location. This station is integrated with safety interlocks and sensors to ensure the car arrives only under safe conditions (doors closed, proper alignment, etc.).

The other options are hardware or non-control components: masonry anchors and lag screws secure structural parts, not control the escalator’s movement; a platform hand is a safety feature for passengers, not a control device for calling or sending the lift.
