  • The low-pitched beep is generated by the floor counter, while the high-pitched beep is generated by the KONE controller.

  • Yeah, I said it in the video.

  • this video sucks....no info here

  • They locked the hotel floors now. If you watch my video response you will see.

  • I've personally only seen red, but here, I've also seen green, and blue, which I agree, looks nice, but still, plain and generic.

  • Not if it's a different color. I've seen it in green; looks very cool.

  • Those key card readers are new.  I hope they don't lock out the floors on us!

  • @revo8778 The KSS really would've been cool and also the KONE's 220 floor indicator. I know before KONE bought out Montgomery, Innovation were one of Montgomery's common fixtures.

  • I know, but I call it ACME, because it's so plain and cheezy-looking, as well as every elevator brand uses them.

  • Does anyone know what that music is in the background at 2:30?

  • They didn't turn off the beep from the Epco indicator so it has a double floor passing chime...

  • it IS an Alta

  • Nice, but Innovation? Kone is losing their touch. Bring on KSS! I do like the 220 chimes however.

    This may be an Alta.

  • Actually, it's a CEElectronics floor counter.

  • one of the hospitals in toronto has a bottom drive geard traction elevator at about 800-1000 FPM and only serves 6 floors the glass ones are that speed also and serve 9 floors

  • that is AMAZINGLY fast for 15 floors!

  • Nice elevators!

  • Nice cab! Then there's the ever cheezy ACME floor counter.
