  Name Description
Operating Systems Collective control This is a fully automatic operation used for a single elevator system. Hall calls in the direction in which the elevator is traveling are responded to sequentially and when all calls in that direction are cleared, calls in the opposite direction are responded to. When there are no more calls, the elevator will stop at the last floor served.
Safety Functions Door safety edge (both sides) Mechanical safety units are installed on both sides of the elevator door. In the event of passengers coming into contact with the safety edges of closing doors, the doors will immediately reopen.
Overload return door system In the event of door overload, such as when passengers get their fingers, hands or personal belongings caught in the door, this system automatically senses this and either re-closes or re-opens the doors to prevent injury.
Interphone system An Interphone system between the elevator and the master unit (in the supervisory panel, etc.) is provided for emergency communication purposes.
Car emergency lighting In the event of a power failure, an emergency light inside the elevator will be automatically activated.
Nearest landing operation for minor trouble In the event of temporary trouble during operation, except for the car is stopped out of floor level caused by safety device, the elevator automatically goes to the naerest floor at a low speed to prevent passengers from being trapped inside.
Overload detection system In the event of overloading, this system will activate an audio/visual signal and prevent the elevator from moving when it is overloaded.
Service Functions Mischievous call cancellation In the event that a large number of calls is registered by a small number of passengers, the calls are determined to be mischievous and will be automatically cancelled upon responding to the next call. This thus eliminates unnecessary stops.
Door open time adjustment The duration of the door open timing is tailored to usage conditions, substantially improving operational efficiency.
Floor "deselect" function This function allows you to cancel the selection of a floor you have pressed by mistake by pressing the button twice. (This thus eliminates unnecessary stops.)
Management Functions Parking operation The elevator can be parked at the designated floor with a key switch. The light of the elevator is turned off and the door is closed.
Automatic turn off of elevator light and fan In the event that the elevator is idle, the light and ventilation fan in the elevator are automatically turned off to conserve energy.
Operating Systems Duplex collective control This is a fully automatic operation used for a two-elevator system. Hall calls are responded to by whichever elevator that can serve the hall call faster. When there are no more calls, one of the elevators will stand by at the start floor while the other elevator will stay at the middle floor.
Group control (Fl-600)(For 3-8 Cars) A new algorithm "Future Reference-Trajectory control" is used for the Fl-600. The probability of a long wait is minimized by operating elevator cars at equal time intervals while forecasting future trajectory.
Group control (Fl-100)(For 3-6 Cars) Elevator cars are allocated at equal time intervals according to "Reference-Trajectory Control" for shortening the average waiting times and reducing the probability of a long wait.
Group control (Fl-10)(For 3-4 Cars) Fl-10 (simplified group control) is designed for use in buildings with low traffic demand. This system uses a ring control to allocate the elevator car closest to the floor where a new hall call is registered.
Emergency Operations Earthquake emergency operation In the event that an earthquake is detected, the elevator will stop at the nearest floor, with earthquake displayed.
Fire emergency operation In the event of fire, the elevator is automatically brought to the designed floor where it remains inoperative for passengers' safety.
Emergency power operation during power failure In the event of building power failure, the elevator can be operated by the building standby generator to move the elevator to the designated floor.
Automatic rescue device for power failure In the event of building power failure, the elevator automatically switches to battery power to move to the nearest floor.
Fireman operation In the event that the fireman switch is turned on, the elevator will move to the designated floor, ready for fireman's use.
Safety Functions Multi-beam door sensor In the event that the beam paths are obstructed, this sensor, installed at the edge of the doors, will keep the doors open.
3D door safety device This device detects passengers getting on or off the elevator, keeping the doors open as long as passengers are within the area of detection.
Service Functions Door open prolong button In the event that this button on the car operation board is pressed, the elevator doors remain open for a pre-set period of time.
Automatic bypass operation In the event that the elevator is fully loaded, the elevator will not respond to any hall calls and will only respond to the car calls.
Sub-operating panel Additional floor selection and door open/close buttons are located on the opposite side of the main operating panel in the elevator. This will be extremely convenient during rush hours.
Voice synthesizer Preset standard messages are announced to the passengers by a voice synthesizer.
