PIXEL AC
We designed the Pixel Control System with the following
objectives in mind: Safety, Functionality, Reliability,
Efficiency, and Longevity. A control system that fulfills all
of these objectives is the right choice for elevator compa-
nies and building owners combined.

SAFETY FIRST. Pixel goes beyond code compliance when it

comes to safety. We employed new design concepts based
upon decades of elevator experience in creating a triple-
redundant system that ensures safe operation.

FUNCTIONALITY. An advanced network of microprocessors

and expansive memory capacity ensures that Pixel can
meet the needs of today’s elevators and the needs of the
future. With Pixel, the sky’s the limit.

RELIABILITY. Pixel was designed for elevators by an elevator

system engineering team with decades of experience.
Appropriate technologies have been applied to ensure
reliable operation for years to come.

EFFICIENCY. Wire count and components are minimized,

saving material and labor costs. System adjustments are
made through one of three friendly color graphical user
interfaces, accessible in the machine room, on the top of
the cab, and inside the cab. With Pixel, access to information
and parameters is available where and when you need it.

LONGEVITY. Designed as a scalable and extensible system,

Pixel is capable of working well into the future. With Pixel,
you are assured of a consistent, stable and supportable
product family, requiring a minimal spare parts kit to
support your entire portfolio of Pixel installations.

THE POWER OF PIXEL. When the power of technology is

used to simplify essential tasks during installation,
adjustment, maintenance and troubleshooting, everybody
wins.
