Automatic Operation / Variable-Speed Operation
Inverter-controlled Automatic and Variable-Speed Operations

VVVF Control (Variable Voltage, Variable Frequency)
Our newly-developed, innovative escalator inverter enables a unique way of controlling the escalator speed in Automatic and Variable-Speed Operations. In Variable-Speed Operation, the escalator speed can be selected according to the frequency of use, number of passengers, and more.

Post Free Automactic Operation
Sensor Posts are no longer needed, as the sensors embedded in the Handrail Inlet Cap detect passengers and control Automatic Operation. The escalator operates at a low speed in stand-by, and gradually increases speed to the rated speed after detecting a passenger approaching the boarding area.

* The Handrail Inlet Cap LED Indicator remains the same regardless of the operating speed during Automatic Operation.
The Handrail Inlet Cap LED Indicators are a separate option, and not included in Post-Free Automatic Operation.
The Handrail Inlet Cap LED Indicators are required in countries where EN115 applies.


Automatic Operation with Post
Sensor Posts located on both sides of the landing and boarding areas incorporate traditional Beam Sensors, with or without* Directional Indicators allowing or denying passenger entry. Control by AC1, instead of inverter control, can be adopted in Automatic Operation with Posts, whereby the escalator remains stationary on stand-by.


Post Free Automactic Operation
Two more speeds*, not exceeding the rated speed, can be added to your escalator to make it possible to operate at three different speeds. The speeds are selected using a key switch, set at Low or Middle for the added speeds and High for the rated speed, thereby allowing you to select the best speed for each set of traffic conditions.

* For an escalator with a rated speed of 0.6m/sec, for example, additional speeds of 0.5m/sec and 0.3m/sec can be set. For more information, contact your local Mitsubishi Electric sales agent.
