Switch Building technology for the real world.
S A F E S I M P L E S U S T A I N A B L E Technology that s designed to work for you. Special power requirements. Subcontractor s schedules. Frequent power outages. There are many things to consider when installing and operating an elevator in your residential building, whether it s new construction or a retrofit. The innovative technology of the Gen2 Switch elevator makes it an easy decision. Safe when power fails: Gen2 Switch has a battery, so it works even when the power doesn t. Simple to install: All you need is a regular power outlet, no special three-phase power. More sustainable: Regenerated energy goes right back into the battery, ready for the next run. 2 Otis Elevator Company 3
T H E R E W H E N T H E P O W E R I S N T Safer The reason we remember Elisha Otis isn t for inventing an elevator. No, his legacy is built on making the elevator safe. The next generation of that legacy is now available: the Gen2 Switch system, an elevator powered by a battery. A battery means convenience without fear. No being stranded or trapped if the power goes out. No facing flight after flight of stairs with a giant load of groceries. And if you have a disability, you ll rest easy knowing you can always access your home. 4 Otis Elevator Company 5
A L L Y O U N E E D I S A N O U T L E T Simpler Sometimes it s not the space for an elevator that s the challenge. It s all the things that go with the elevator. A special power supply. A machine room. Coordinating between trades. The Gen2 Switch system does away with all of that all you have to do is plug it in. No three-phase power, no machine room, and no control room. The entire system installs rapidly, then plugs in. In many buildings, a spare stairwell can be easily converted to a Gen2 Switch elevator. 6 Otis Elevator Company 7
D E S I G N E D G R E E N F R O M T H E G R O U N D U P Sustainable The Gen2 Switch system is the culmination of decades of elevator efficiency improvements. Our most efficient elevator to date, it is 81% more efficient than a conventional elevator. From the gearless machine to the LED lights and standby systems, each part in the Gen2 Switch is designed for maximum efficiency. And its battery technology both captures energy from its regenerative drive, and makes the Gen2 Switch renewable-power ready. 8 Otis Elevator Company 9
S I M P L Y A S M A R T E R D E S I G N The new standard for green Gen2 Switch elevators come standard with today s most innovative sustainable features. The Otis name We never stop making elevators more reliable. Long-lasting belts, minimal moving parts and now a battery to protect you against what we can t control. No machine room or control room The Gen2 Switch system s patented flat belts and compact machine take up less space. Even the controller is compact enough to mount in the hoistway. For you, that means no machine room and more rentable building space. A ReGen drive to capture waste energy and return it to the battery. Streamlined installation No need to add three-phase power just for your elevator, and no need to coordinate between elevator and electrical power installation contractors. An ultra-efficient compact, gearless machine. LED lighting and an advanced sleep mode. A patented coated-steel belt that needs no lubrication. 10 Otis Elevator Company 11
R E A S O N S T O S W I T C H ReGen assist Plugs right in Gen2 Switch uses single-phase power so you don t have to install three-phase power or wait for its installation just for an elevator. Regenerated energy from the elevator system feeds back into the battery, even during a blackout, extending the battery s life. Regular Operation 220V Single-phase power supply Main switch panel Battery charger Battery pack ReGen drive Regenerated energy Renewable-ready Gen2 Switch s battery system lets it take advantage of fluctuating energy supplies such as wind and solar power. And the battery, made of 97% recycled materials, is itself 90% recyclable. Convenient For up to 100 runs, your elevator will work normally even without power. It delivers reassurance for elderly or disabled residents and convenience for everyone. Power Outage No interruptions 220V Single-phase power supply Main switch panel Battery charger Battery pack ReGen drive If the power fails, Gen2 Switch elevators transition smoothly from the grid to battery power. Passengers won t realized the power is out until they reach their destination. Perfect pace Regenerated energy Drive powered from battery 85% 100% Gen2 Switch has a variable speed functionality, to limit energy consumption without limiting passenger comfort. Depending on the car load, travel direction and travel length, speed varies from 0.63m/s to 1m/s. 33% 66% A Highest VDI rating With a Class A rating*, the Gen2 Switch has earned the highest possible energy-efficiency rating according to VDI 4707 standards. Less power means less power Since it uses a level of installed power that s 18 times less than a standard gearless elevator, Gen2 Switch uses less power overall, leading to lower bills. 9 12 15 GEN2 SWITCH GEARLESS GEARED HYDRAULIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION (kwh) 0.1 0.5 0.7 1.2 2.0 2.5 INCANDESCENT BULB GEN2 SWITCH MICROWAVE HAIR DRYER VACUUM CLEANER ELECTRIC OVEN GEARLESS GEARED HYDRAULIC INSTALLED POWER (kw) *480 kg or 680 kg/18 m rise / 1 mps / usage category 1 12 Otis Elevator Company 13
