SCHINDLER
300A
Overview
The 300A an inground and holeless hydraulic elevator model produced by Schindler in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Characteristics
300As are very common for low-rise applications. Many older 3-5 story hotels have 300As, and they can also often be found in parking decks, and retail stores (such as Barnes & Noble)
300As' indicators use "accelerated position," meaning that the indicator changes floors before departing the previous floor.
300As can have MT, RT, or EPCO fixtures, and almost always have the MT digital indicator and chimes. Directional chimes sound regardless of whether or not there's a call.
Door close buttons almost always do not work in regular service on 300As. Most 300As have ECI door interlocks.
