SwitchBuilding technologyfor the real world.
S A F ETechnology that’sdesigned 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 yourresidential building, whether it’s new construction or a retrofit. The innovative technologyof 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:Unique low voltage architecture and a regenerative drivereduce energy use in standby and travel mode, respectively.2Otis Elevator Company

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 powergoes out. No facing flight after flight of stairs with a giant load of groceries. And if youhave a disability, you’ll rest easy knowing you can always access your home.5

I SSimplerN E E DA NO U T L E TSometimes it’s not the space for an elevator that’s the challenge. It’s all the things that gowith 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 systeminstalls rapidly, then plugs in.7

F R O MSustainableG R E E NT H EG R O U N DU PThe 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 theGen2 Switch is designed for maximum efficiency. And its battery technology both capturesenergy from its regenerative drive, and makes the Gen2 Switch renewable-power ready.9
S I M P L YThe Otis nameWe never stop makingelevators more reliable.Long-lasting belts,minimal moving parts andnow a battery to protect you againstwhat we can’t control.No machine roomor control roomThe Gen2 Switch system’s patented flatbelts and compact machine take up lessspace. Even the controller is compactenough to mount in the hoistway. Foryou, that means no machine room andmore rentable building space.Streamlined installationNo need to add three-phase powerjust for your elevator, and no needto coordinate between elevator andelectricalpower installationcontractors.10Otis Elevator Company

And the battery, madeof 97% recycled materials, is itself 90% recyclable.No interruptionsIf the power fails, Gen2 Switch elevatorstransition smoothly from the grid to batterypower. Passengers won’t realize the poweris out until they reach their ORGEAREDELEVATORHYDRAULICELEVATORLowest voltage, highest VDIThe Gen2 Switch had already earned a Class Arating*, the highest possible energy-efficiency ratingaccording to VDI 4707 standards. Now we’ve refinedit further, so it uses mainly 48V voltage. This lowervoltage is safer to work with, reduces energy loss, andmeans that on standby power, the elevator uses lessenergy than a lightbulb.ENERGY CONSUMPTION (kWH)*680 kg / 18 m rise / 1 mps / usage category 112Otis Elevator CompanyT
