SCHINDLER
400A & 400AE
Overview
The 400A was Schindler's first MRL traction elevator for the North American market.
The 400A was introduced in 2003. In 2012, it was discontinued and replaced by an improved version known as the 400AE.
Characteristics
400As typically have HT fixtures, with a unique high-pitched floor passing chime. All other chimes, including alarms and nudge modes, are the same as the standard 330A HT chimes.
400As level very quickly and accurately, similarly to Schindler's 5500, KONE's MonoSpace, and Otis's Gen2. They provide a very smooth ride.
A small room is required for the controller, despite the lack of a machine room. This is typically located near the elevator on the top floor. 400As also sometimes have loud brakes, similar to KONE EcoSpace and MonoSpace.
