streamlined architectural profiles and time

saving installation. Gen2 PREMIER incorporates
the latest major breakthrough in elevatoring
technologyflexible, polyurethane-coated steel

belts replace the conventional steel cables.

Combined with the equally innovative concept

of smaller, energy saving machines, and the

low noise controller and drive, this radical
innovation produces a state of the art elevator
system.
The Gen2 PREMIER system represents more
than a collection of new components. It is
an imaginative re-invention of the most basic
assumptions governing vertical transportation.
The result is a completely revolutionary
systemone that takes the elevator to its
next level.

The traditional cable wraps steel cords around a

flexible core.

The new flat belt wraps a flexible 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 flexible 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
flexibility 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.

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.

The belts polyurethane jacket

provides better traction than
conventional cable. Flat belts also
have more surface area at the
point of contact, which significantly
reduces wear on the sheave.

Energy Efficient
The Gen2 PREMIER system stands
as one of the most efficientand
thus cost-effectiveelevators
available today. The machines
radial construction is as much as
50 percent more efficient than a
conventional geared system, and
15 percent more efficient 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 efficiently.

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 floors, 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 filter, 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
certification for environmentally
responsible production methods.

Architectural Benefits
The absence of a machine
room allows architects greater
design flexibility. Builders benefit
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 Profile

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 efficiency 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 benefit
from dramatically reduced waiting
times.

Door Systems
Otis offers different door systems
to configure 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 traffic applications, a
closed-loop VF door operator
is available. It allows flexibility
in adjusting and setting door
operation, meeting a variety of
different operating profiles 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
flat 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.
