I'm new to this forum. Not a technician or a building owner, but a 17 year old elevator enthusiast/photographer, and was hoping someone on here could help me out.
I recently acquired a 1989 Dover Impulse car operating panel (and other fixture parts) from a local building demolition. When I removed the panel from the elevator car with the contractor, I made sure to leave plenty of slack on the wires when I cut them. Yesterday, I finally decided to cut the zip ties and trace the wires to begin wiring it up to power. I already traced the wires to the floor indicator and marked those.
Next, I'm trying to figure out the emergency light and how to wire it up. There's several wires coming off the back of it, but they're not clearly labelled, and I don't know what kind of voltage we're dealing with here. I would imagine there's an input for AC power, and one for the DC battery, but I may be wrong. I know the rest of the panel takes around 24 volts DC, but I think the backup battery I didn't think to pull from behind the panel was either 6 or 12 volts.
Does anyone how to wire this up and what voltage it takes?
Thanks in advance!

I'm still going to try to wire it up eventually. If I have any doubts, my dad is an electrical engineer and works with many different things, including elevators.
The only thing I was confused about here is which wires go into which terminals and what voltage am I dealing with, but you have helped, so thank you.
