SCHINDLER DESTINATION DISPATCH
Miconic 10 & PORT

Miconic 10/Z-Line

Schindler invented destination dispatch with the 1992 introduction of Miconic 10. The first installation in North America was the Marriott Marquis in New York City, which has since been modernized.

Miconic 10 (often abbreviated to M10 or Mic10) has physical keypads for hall stations. Three variants of the Mic10 keypad (aka Z-Line) were produced:

  • Black keys, red LED display

  • Silver keys, monochrome LCD display

  • Silver keys, color LCD display

Miconic 10 installations in North America typically have EPCO Classic buttons for door controls, and EPCO LED or custom indicators.

Miconic 10 was discontinued in 2012, and replaced with PORT.
