The Schindler MT Series is an integrated group of pushbutton and
keyed switch components. Manufactured to meet Schindler's high standards for quality and
flexibility in elevator design, MT pushbuttons are molded from a high-impact plastic,
durable enough to withstand heavy use for years. And MT pushbuttons use LED illumination
for reliability and long component life.
Available in brushed or mirror stainless steel or bronze, fixtures
featuring the MT-style pushbuttons are designed to complement and enhance even the most
contemporary building designs. MT Series fixtures meet ADA requirements for people with
disabilities.
Technical Description
The MT pushbutton element housing has an exposed rectangular area
with rounded corners. The right side of the exposed face contains a mechanically activated
white plastic pushbutton. The button is 7/8" wide by 15/16" high with rounded
corners. The surface of the button is comfortably concave and projects 1/8" from the
housing. Only a slight pressure on the button is required to initiate a call. The button
does not illuminate.
A call registration bar, approximately 3/4" long by 1/8"
wide, is located above and centered over the pushbutton. A red LED display located behind
the bar illuminates when a call is registered and remains lit until the call has been
answered. Manufactured of translucent plastic and mounted flush with the surface of the
housing, the bar is designed to be unobtrusive when inactive.
Immediately adjacent and to the left of the pushbutton, the housing
is recessed for insertion of tactile plates. The tactile plates are 1" wide by 1
3/16" high with rounded corners and are finished in a durable matte black enamel. The
tactile plates contain raised directional symbols.
Hall Pushbutton Station Specifications
The MT Series Hall Pushbutton Station is located in the corridor for
the purpose of calling an elevator to the floor.
A terminal fixture is used for one pushbutton or keyed switch. An
intermediate landing fixture can accommodate up to three signal devices and/or keyed
switches.
When Firefighters' Service is provided, a keyed switch can be
furnished in the terminal station, at an intermediate station, or as a separate fire
service station.
When a pushbutton station located at an intermediate fire return
floor has a restricted access keyed switch, a separate fixture for Firefighters' Service
will be furnished.
Schindler MT Series Hall Pushbutton Stations are mounted in the wall
adjacent to the elevator entrance with the center line of the fixture 42" from the
finished floor. Mounting is with tamper-resistant screws of a finish corresponding to that
selected for the fixture. |
