Main Features
* Mitsubishi Emergency Landing Device (MELD)
In the event that passengers become trapped in a car due to a power failure, etc., MELD automatically checks the elevator status and then moves the car to the nearest floor using its rechargeable battery.
** Multi-beam Door Sensor
As the elevator doors close, a sensor uses multiple infrared beams to monitor the entire doorway. If any passenger/object entering/exiting the car is detected, the doors open immediately.
*** Car designs
Three newly designed car ceilings blend harmoniously with Indian architectural designs.
Other NEXIEZ-LITE features
