KONE elevator door operation upgrade.

The average elevator door opens and closes

more than 200,000 times a year. No wonder
over 70% of all elevator trouble calls are
related to the door operation.

weights and air pressure. Break the curtain of light and

the doors retract positively, with amazing speed.

KONE AMD Door Systems handle every situation without

skipping a beat. It’s a function of KONE closed-loop
control. The performance profile is set according to your
specific needs. Then, operating conditions are monitored
and digitally encoded feedback allows the system to learn
about your building. A Permanent-Magnet Synchronous
Motor (PMSM) and ingenious Variable Voltage Variable
Frequency (V3F) drive use this information to ensure
precise performance every time.

When demands change, KONE AMD changes easily to

meet your needs. It’s a simple matter of adjusting the
performance profile to accommodate a change in your
building or new passenger requirements. KONE AMD
takes it from there, applying what it learns to maintain the
new performance parameters. That means that once your
elevator’s performance profile is set, you can count on
reliable, consistent door operation, regardless of variations
in your building’s environment.

The MAC Closed-Loop Door Operator is a permanent-

provides consistent high-performance door operation
for all types of applications.

■ Measures position feedback of the doors
■ Microprocessor control system

1 Gate Switch
The purpose of the gate switch is to electronically
lock the car doors. The elevator will not move until
this switch is closed.

2 Door Sensing Device – Infrared Light Curtain

Upgrading to the Formula Systems FCU47 Infrared
Light Curtain increases passenger satisfaction and
comfort while decreasing door-related callbacks and
3 downtime. Forty-seven invisible infrared beams detect
virtually any obstruction before the doors touch
passengers or their property. Because it is mounted
flush, it is protected from objects moving on or off
the elevator.

The FCU47 infrared electronic sensing device is

very affordable and can be easily installed in any
2 door operation system. The unit also includes buzzer/
nudging interface as a standard feature. This self-
contained diagnostic system simplifies maintenance.

3 Door Linkage
Precise control over door movement requires that the
linkage between the doors and the door operator
transmit movement to the doors efficiently, quietly

and reliably. MAC door linkages are designed for
heavy-duty use with maintenance-free sealed bearings.

4 Door Clutch
The MAC door clutches are designed to provide
positive, quiet engagement with the hoistway doors
while maintaining close tolerance clearances while
the car is in motion.

1 Hoistway Door Reel Closure
The reel closure ensures that the hoistway doors
close tightly. It must have adequate spring tension
to pull the hoistway door shut and actuate the
door interlock mechanism.

2 Hoistway Door Drive

The hoistway door drive works together with the
car door clutch to transmit the motion of the car
doors to the hoistway doors. The MAC door drive
system provides precise door control and quiet

operation, while maintaining close tolerances with
the moving car.

3 Hoistway Door Gibs

Both the car and hoistway doors are guided at the
sill with a device designed to allow freedom of
door movement while providing secure positioning.
