The traditional cable wraps steel cords around a exible core.

The new at belt wraps a exible polyurethane skin around steel cords

which allows for a smaller sheave diameter

Durable, Flexible Belts Only 3 mm thick and 30/60mm wide, the belts are more durable and exible than the heavy woven steel cables that have been the industry standard for over a century, they are also 20 percent lighter and last up to three times longer. Each belt actually incorporates more wires than a conventional cablea total of 588/1176 high tensile grade steel cords per belt. Yet their superior exibility allows the belts to bend around smaller diameter sheaves. Additionally, Otis has developed PULSE, an electronic device that continually monitors the status of the belt cords. The belts polyurethane jacket provides better traction than conventional cable. Flat belts also have more surface area at the point of contact, which signicantly reduces wear on the sheave.

A Compact Machine The coated steel belts make possible a machine that takes up only 30 percent of the space of a conventional geared machine. The Gen2 PREMIER machines compact size enables Otis to position it at the top of the hoistway, thereby eliminating the need for a machine room. A smaller machine also means less inertia, resulting in a dramatic reduction in the electrical current required during acceleration. A new generation disc brake makes the machine more reliable. Energy Efcient The Gen2 PREMIER system stands as one of the most efcientand thus cost-effectiveelevators available today. The machines radial construction is as much as 50 percent more efcient than a conventional geared system, and 15 percent more efcient than machines with axial construction designs. The system also features a sleep mode for reduced power consumption. By reducing heat losses, the synchronous motor with embedded permanent magnets further enhances the machines ability to use energy efciently.

making possible a more compact elevator system.

Safety Features The Gen2 PREMIER systems advanced safety features exceed those required by even the most stringent international codes. Elevator doors reopen immediately if an invisible beam of light is interrupted. If the car is stopped between oors, evacuation deterrents prevent passengers from exiting. Hoistway access detection prevents a car from moving if a landing door is inadvertently opened. The Emergency and Inspection Panel is positioned at the landing for swift, easy access. LAMBDA LC entrance protection Otis LAMBDA LC infrared curtain door protection system casts an invisible safety net of beams across the elevator entrance. The door protection device scans with more than 70 infrared beams per second, in a response time of less than .1 second. If the system detects an obstruction, the doors swiftly and smoothly open to avoid any contact.

Environmentally Responsible In addition to conserving energy, the Gen2 PREMIER system is environmentally responsible in a range of other ways. The need for oil in the machine is eliminated by the absence of a gearbox and the use of permanently sealed bearings. Unlike steel cables, the belts require no lubrication. Isolation pads between the machine beams and the hoistway wall minimise building vibration, resulting in a quieter environment. The system also includes an electromagnetic lter, which eliminates interference with the buildings other electrical systems and complies with EN directives on Electro Magnetic Interference. The Gen2 PREMIER manufacturing facility has received the ISO 14001 certication for environmentally responsible production methods.

Architectural Benets The absence of a machine room allows architects greater design exibility. Builders benet from a controlled, streamlined installation process and minimal interference with other trades. For building owners, the Gen2 PREMIER system translates into lower construction costs and a substantial increase in rentable building space.

Speed Time Prole

Door Systems designed to meet varied passenger demands

Controller and Drive Designed for groups of up to three cars, the modular controller incorporates a new generation of printed circuit boards and software to provide optimal response times. The digital closed-loop VF drive, with vector control technology, further increases efciency and accuracy, and a digital speed encoder ensures correct car speed and positioning. The result is a system of exceptional reliability. When a hall button is pressed, Otis Relative System Response (RSR) dispatcher instantaneously selects the most eligible car in the elevator group to answer the call. In a split-second, the RSR dispatcher analyses a set of parameters based on response time estimates and ideal group control practices. By maximising system performance, RSR enables passengers to benet from dramatically reduced waiting times.

Door Systems Otis offers different door systems to congure to the buildings passenger demands. The car and landing doors are driven by a direct current (DC) permanent magnet motor. A speed encoder mounted on the operator axis controls the doors opening and closing positions. This allows accurate and smooth operation, enhancing the systems safe performance. For higher trafc applications, a closed-loop VF door operator is available. It allows exibility in adjusting and setting door operation, meeting a variety of different operating proles to suit the buildings needs.

Smooth and Quiet Ride The design features of the system produce a ride experience of unsurpassed smoothness and quietness. The digital closed loop vector control ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration. The at belt eliminates the vibration caused by wound cables and the sheave has been specially mounted to minimise vibration. The polyurethane coated belt also eliminates the metal to metal effect of conventional cables against the sheave and the rubber padding isolates the car platform from the frame. Emergency and Inspection Panel The Gen2 PREMIER systems compact, vandal-resistant Emergency and Inspection Panel is easily accessed by authorized personnel. Located at the landing, one panel contains all the functions needed for trained technicians to control and maintain the elevator simply and quickly.

Standard Features
Control
Advanced Door Opening Automatic Car Return Cut-off Hall Call Switch Door Close Button Door Open Button Full Collective Operation Load Non-stop Load Weighing Device Separate Car and Hall Call Door Times To improve performance time, the doors will begin opening as the car approaches a landing. When there are no further car or hall calls, the car will return and automatically park at a specied landing. When activated this feature disables all hall calls, but allows the normal operation of car calls. When the car has no further demand, it parks with its doors opened at the last landing served. For immediate door closure, this button cancels the remaining door dwell time. By applying constant pressure to this button, the doors will remain open or reverse direction when closing. Registered car and hall calls are answered in the order in which the landings are reached. The direction of travel is established by the rst registered car command or hall call. When a car is loaded to a predetermined percentage of capacity, weight-sensing devices are activated, causing the car to bypass further hall calls. Carload is measured to ensure that proper starting torque is applied to the motor. The time that an elevator door remains open after a stop differs between hall and car calls. Generally, more time is needed for a car to respond to hall calls.

Communication
Car Position Indicator Hall Position Indicator This feature displays car position, running direction, re service and overload signals. This feature includes a 16-segment LED position and direction indicator.

Comfort
Brake Drop Soft Fan This feature allows adjustment of the braking time, thereby controlling the brake noise level. To save energy, the fan will automatically turn off when there is no call signal within a designated period. A switch in the COP is also provided to control the fan operation manually.

Emergency
Emergency Car Light Unit Emergency Rescue Operation To ensure the minimum lighting requirement in a car, a rechargeable emergency supply will automatically switch on if the normal lighting supply fails. This feature facilitates the rescue and evacuation of trapped passengers. When activated by a switch in the controller, all operations will be terminated and passengers will be released at the nearest landing.

Safety
Door Time Protection LAMBDA LC Overload Device Reverse Phase Protection When the doors fail to open or close, the elevator will remove itself from group control, retry to open or close its doors and sound the buzzer in the car. After three unsuccessful attempts, the car will be shut down. This is an infrared curtain door protection device. If the system detects an obstruction, the doors swiftly and smoothly open to avoid any contact. When the load in the car exceeds capability, the in-car buzzer will sound and the overload lamp will be illuminated. The elevator will remain at the landing with the doors open. The elevator automatically detects power supply phase reversal and stops immediately to protect the machine.

Misuse Prevention
Anti-Nuisance Car Call Protection Nudging When the weight of passengers in the car is not more than 10% of rated car duty, and four or more car calls are registered, all car calls are cancelled automatically. If the doors are prevented from closing for a xed period of time, a buzzer sounds and the doors begin to close at a reduced speed.
