A special elevator operating mode designed to meet religious observance requirements, stopping automatically at every floor without passengers pressing buttons.
Full Definition
Sabbath mode — also called Shabbat mode — is designed for use in buildings with observant Jewish communities where activating electrical switches on the Sabbath or Jewish holidays is prohibited. When active, the elevator travels continuously, stopping at every floor in sequence and opening doors automatically without requiring passengers to press car call buttons. The car typically operates on a defined schedule during Sabbath hours. Some implementations also suppress lighting changes and other triggered electrical events. Standards and certification for Sabbath mode compliance vary by country and certifying religious authority.
