Technology 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.

More sustainable:Unique low voltage architecture and a regenerative drive reduce energy use in standby and travel mode, respectively.

Simple to install:All you need is a regular power outlet, no special three-phase power.

The reason we remember Elisha Otis isn’t for inventing an elevator. No, his legacy isbuilt 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 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.

In many buildings, a spare

stairwell can be easily

converted to a

Gen2 Switch elevator.

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 systeminstalls rapidly, then plugs in.

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 theGen2 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.

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.

Streamlined installation

No need to add three-phase powerjust for your elevator, and no needto coordinate between elevator and electrical power installation contractors.

No machine roomor 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.

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.

Perfect pace

Gen2 Switch has a variable speed functionality, to limit energy consumption withoutlimiting passenger comfort. Depending on the car load, travel direction and travel length,

speed varies from 0.63m/s to 1m/s.

Renewable-ready

Gen2 Switch’s battery system lets it takeadvantage of fluctuating energy supplies suchas wind and solar power. And the battery, madeof 97% recycled materials, is itself 90% recyclable.

ReGen assist

Regenerated energy from the elevator system feeds back into the battery,even during a blackout, extending the battery’s life.

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.

If the power fails, Gen2 Switch elevatorstransition smoothly from the grid to batterypower. Passengers won’t realize the power

is out until they reach their destination.

No interruptions

Lowest voltage, highest VDIAThe Gen2 Switch had already earned a Class Arating*, the highest possible energy-efficiency rating according to VDI 4707 standards. Now we’ve refinedit further, so it uses mainly 48V voltage. This lower voltage is safer to work with, reduces energy loss, and means that on standby power, the elevator uses less energy than a lightbulb.

Less power means less power

Since it uses a level of installed power that’s 18 times lessthan a standard gearless elevator, Gen2 Switch uses lesspower overall, leading to lower bills.
