(2) New installations of passenger or freight elevators, which are operated at any time without a designated operator in the car, shall be provided with one of the two following emergency alarm systems. (A) A telephone in each elevator car, connected to a central telephone exchange providing 24 hour service. (B) A system meeting the following requirements. 1. An electric bell, operable from the car, not less than 6 inches in diameter, located inside the building and audible inside and outside the hoistway. One bell operable from all cars may be used for a group of elevators. 2. Means for two-way conversation between each elevator and a readily accessible point outside the hoistway. EXCEPTIONS: 1. Elevators in buildings having a height from the lowest to the highest elevator landing of not more than 65 feet, providing the distance between any adjacent landing does not exceed 15 feet. 2.
