Schindler 3300

View source

Schindler 3300 is the current MRL gearless low-mid rise traction elevator model of Schindler worldwide. It was first launched in 2005 for Europe, followed by the Asia Pacific in 2007 and North American version in 2011.

Description

Schindler 3300 is a machine room less traction elevator model designed for low to mid rise residential and commercial buildings. It uses a small gearless box-liked traction motor installed on top of the hoistway aand Suspension Traction Media (STM), a tooth-shaped coated steel belt ropes instead of conventional steel ropes, similar to Otis Gen2. Depending on the region it is sold, the limit to how high the Schindler 3300 elevator can go is around 75 meters (60 in the U.S and Canada), or equivalent to 20 floors. It can go up to speeds of 1.0 and 1.6 meter per second.

It is the current machine room less model in the low to mid rise as well as lower cost segments since 2005. The model is considered to be a successor of the Schindler Smart MRL in Europe and Latin America, and both Schindler Elegant and 100 P in Asia Pacific.

A version for the Asia Pacific region was introduced in 2007 and was known as 3300 AP. It is now manufactured by Schindler China. In Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries, the model is sold by Jardine Schindler Group. By 2020, the "AP" code has been dropped (except countries which has both 3300 EU and 3300 AP available) and it is now simply known as 3300.

In the United States & Canada, it was launched in 2011 and simply known as Schindler 3300. In California, the Schindler 3300 elevator was not sold, because it did not meet California code, until 2019, and there is one known prototype installation in CA. In February 2018, Schindler North America launched a second edition called the 3300 XL. It was created to allow the 3300 to have a larger cab to better accommodate a stretcher, and is suited for hospitals, apartments, and as a service elevator, but it can also be used for passengers. There are also two sub products for 3300 in California, one called "Schindler Optimized 3300" and one called "Schindler Expanded 3300."

In 2019, the 3300 became available in South Korea which marked the end of dependence on the use of non-proprietary elevator parts for Schindler Korea. It is marketed as 3300 just like the rest of Asia.

Schindler 3300 found its successor in Schindler 3000, announced in June 2020. It will be launched first probably in Europe. Since 2021, Schindler 3300 has been discontinued in some countries in Asia Pacific.

Space

The Schindler 3300 is designed specifically to minimize the space required for technical equipment and fit standardized shafts. This is proven by the fact that the elevator uses steel belts instead of traditional steel ropes, which the latter would usually require a sheave diameter of at least 320 mm with the cable diameter. With the new belt ropes, space is greatly reduced since the belts are flexible and only require a smaller sheave of at least 85 mm on a smaller motor. With this configuration, the elevator car can be expanded up to 25 cm and can accommodate one or two persons more in the car in a standardized shaft. In addition, the shaft's headroom can be reduced to 2900 mm without restrictions.

Interior design and fixtures

The car interior design of Schindler 3300 has several decor lines consist of over 40 colors for the walls and floors.

Schindler 3300 used FI GL fixtures between 2005 and mid 2010s. These fixtures are made of glass with either touch sensitive or push buttons and LED segmented floor indicators. In the early 2010s, FI GS 100 was added to the model, which is a lineup of stainless steel based fixtures with push buttons and LED dot matrix floor indicators shown on a glass display. Possibly in 2014 or 2015, Schindler introduced FI GS 120, which is basically a combination of FI GL touch sensitive buttons and FI GS floor indicators. It is intended to replace the FI GS fixtures. (Further information: List of Schindler elevator fixtures).

In the U.S. and Canada, the Schindler 3300 use specially designed FI GL 100 fixtures which were designed to meet ADA codes. This was replaced by the FI GS when the Schindler 3100 was introduced in 2016. FI GS 120 is not available in the U.S. and Canada because they do not meet ADA codes. (Further information: List of Schindler elevator fixtures (North America)).

Glitches

These are some glitches found in the Asia Pacific version of Schindler 3300 elevators (3300 AP), it is unknown if these glitches are also found in other versions. Some of these glitches were found by some elevator enthusiasts while filming these elevators.

  • After car calls have been registered by the controller, the floor buttons lamp would go off by itself. This glitch is so far the most common and often happens when the elevator is about to perform a third trip after the doors have closed[1], but sometimes it may happens randomly[2]. Some elevator enthusiasts believes this glitch to be an anti nuisance feature.
    • Also when this glitch happens, the arrow on the floor indicator will not appear when the car stops, no matter if the floor buttons have been pressed again or not.
  • On some elevators with car call cancel feature, a car call often cannot be cancelled[1] especially when multiple car calls have been registered.
  • When a car call is cancelled while the doors are closing, the doors will reopens.
  • Sometimes the elevator went out of service itself without the building owner's knowing.

Trivia

  • Schindler 6200 and 6300, two elevator models for replacing older/existing elevator, are based on the Schindler 3300 and 5300[3][4].
  • Schindler 3300 is also sold by Haushahn under the Haushahn lifeLine name.
  • There is both hall and car call cancel feature and it is possibly only available on the 3300 AP elevators as optional feature.
  • Some countries like the United Kingdom have banned the use of capacitive FI GL 100 Line buttons due to disability reason.
  • Schindler 3300 elevators are most likely a successor to the Schindler Smart MRL from the mid 90s; both have similar logic (floors are only deselected when doors fully open, for example), have keypad floor selection as their trademark feature (although 3300s often did not include keypads), and could be seen as budget elevators.
  • In India, the model was initially known as 3300 IN which was launched in 2011.
