Overview
Schindler Elegant (stylized as SchindlerElegant) was a series of low cost traction passenger elevator model of Schindler, manufactured by Schindler (China) Elevator Co. Ltd. in China between the early 2000s and early 2010s. It consists of two different models; Elegant MRL which is a machine room less model and Elegant Classic which is a traction model with machine room. Both models were designed for residential and basic commercial buildings up to 20 floors.
Schindler Elegant MRL
Elegant MRL is the machine room less elevator variant of the Schindler Elegant series. Most of the Schindler Elegant as well as machine room less elevators installed in Indonesia in the 2000s are of this model. It is usually found in office buildings (where it is used as parking elevators) as well as some smaller commercial buildings.
It was discontinued in the early 2010s. The successor of this model is the Schindler 3300 AP which had been on sale since 2007.
Characteristics
- Elegant MRL elevators have loud brake sounds when the elevator starts up and stops.
- Control cabinet is on the top floor and integrated with the door frame. The size is roughly the same as the Schindler 300 P MRL and 5400 AP MRL.
- It uses Miconic MX-GC control similar to the machine room less type of Schindler 300 P.
- The floor indicator on the COP is rectangular and the segments are arranged vertically.
- The direction arrow on the LOP only appears during arrival. On the COP, it lights on when the car is moving. If the elevator doesn't have more calls to serve, the arrow will disappear once the car reaches the last serving floor.
- Floor number changes in between floors. On the LOP, it changes immediately after the car starts moving.
- It has distinctive arrival chimes.
