In the year 2000, the GeN2 drive system – an innovation developed and patented by Otis – radically changed the lift industry by replacing the conventional traction steel rope with a flexible polyurethane-coated steel belt. This pioneering advance complies with all relevant EU lift regulations. Otis GeN2 Flex system: The Benefits Replacing conventional steel ropes with smooth, polyurethane-coated steel belts results in a quieter and smoother ride. ➋ A...

-doc Gen2 Flex 26 5/04/07 10:28 Page 4 The GeN2 Flex system protects the environment at the same time as achieving new levels of ride quality and energy savings. Lubrication-free and more energy-efficient. Neither the belts nor the gearless machine with sealedfor-life bearings require any form of polluting lubricants. The low-inertia gearless PM machine, controlled with a closed-loop, variable-frequency drive with vector control, results in substantial energy and cost savings when compared with conventional machines. Relative energy consumed (kw/h) ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Additionally, the...

SAFETY FEATURES • Automatic Rescue System A battery-operated rescue system with electronic speed monitoring enables the safe and fast rescue of trapped passengers in the event of power failure. • LAMBDA™ 2D Entrance Protection A screen of infrared beams acts as an invisible safety curtain. When an obstacle breaks this screen, the sensitive LAMBDA 2D system detects it and immediately reopens the doors. • LAMBDA 2D entrance protection. Stopping Accuracy The belt’s reduced...

-doc Gen2 Flex 26 5/04/07 10:28 Page 6 Flexibility is a key strength of the Gen2 Flex concept. So, too, is increased passenger capacity. FLEXIBILITY The advantages offered by the GeN2 Flex system when replacing or installing a new lift in an existing building are compelling. Essentially, the GeN2 Flex system is designed to maximise passenger capacity and to adapt itself to virtually every hoistway. Flexibility is further enhanced as the counterweight can be located either at the rear or at the side of the hoistway. Additionally, because of the compact design, overhead and pit dimensions are...

-doc Gen2 Flex 26 5/04/07 10:28 Page 7 The GeN2 Flex system has been specially conceived for the installation of new lifts in existing buildings... In the past, regulations did not require lifts to be installed in low rise buildings with less than 6 stops. But with an ageing population, such buildings provide restrictions for the elderly, for the disabled and for people carrying loads or children. The GeN2 Flex system effectively removes all such constraints. B EFORE Economically, too, the installation of a new lift in an existing building offers important incentives. Because not only does...

Lack of reliability, poor ride quality, inconsistent floor levelling, outdated aesthetics and limited accessibility are typical criticisms. B EFORE With the latest state-of-the-art technology, the GeN2 Flex system comprehensively resolves all the design, comfort and accessibility issues. The GeN2 Flex design offers considerable benefits such as: • Enhanced reliability through the replacement of electro-mechanical controllers by...

OPTIMA The Optima car perfectly illustrates the notion that elegance can be achieved through simplicity provided it’s based on an inspired idea. In the Optima design’s case, the idea is embodied by the car operating panel actually illuminating the car. Besides bathing the car in a soft diffused light, the panel also acts as a focal point for passengers. The design of the COP is of course critical. With a curved faceplate, it is both simple and handsome. Chicklets with...

Around the engaging lighting concept of the car operating panel - the panel actually illuminates the car and bathes it in a soft diffused light - an extravagant choice unfolds. To satisfy the most diverse market requirements, there are four car designs with 24 car finishes. The same extensive choice is extended to the flooring - three types with 10 variations in all - and to the two handsome handrail designs. Additionally, the car operating panel is offered in two...
