5 Hidden Facts in Mitsubishi Elevators That You've Never Known Before

I've collected all of these facts based on my observation so far and information from other elevator enthusiasts. Hopefully this video would be useful for you to try one of these facts someday.
1. Hall lantern flashing speed is slightly increased when doors open
This applies in most Mitsubishi elevators installed in the 1990s and 2000s. When the car arrives, the hall lanterns flashes normal but when the doors open they flashes a bit faster than before. This also applies to the directional arrows on the hall stations.
2. Directional arrows on hall stations does not flashes when car arrives (90s Mitsubishi only)
This only applies in 1990s Mitsubishi elevators. Arrow does not flashes when the car arrives, unlike later models in the 21st century.
3. Keyhole on top floor button indicates an MRL
This is the easiest way to tell if a Mitsubishi elevator is MRL or not. If you see a keyhole on the top floor button panel then it means it's MRL. It is used to access the control board which is hidden behind the panel. This does not applies in Mitsubishi DiamondTrac MRL elevators in North America. Reference: www.mitsubishielectric.com/company/rd/advance/pdf/vol99/vol99.pdf
4. A single car call cannot be cancelled
In most Mitsubishi elevators with car call cancel feature, a single active car call cannot be cancelled. It needs at least two car calls to erase one of them. Cancelling a single car call is actually possible, but this case is actually rare.
5. Automated voices are only possible if there is a door close chime
Finally, if there is a Mitsubishi elevator with a door close chime, it might have automated voices, whether AAN-B (Basic Announcements) or AAN-G (Voice Guidance System). If there is no door close chime then there are no voices.
Sometimes when there is no door close chime and you test the nudge mode it would make a beeping noise (without voices).
*DISCLAIMER: All of these facts are based on my researches and observations so far, as well as information given from other elevator enthusiasts. Some of them might be incorrect, so I apologize if you found any of them to be incorrect.

From the 90s onwards, Mitsubishi tend to put quite some thought into creating subtle features that enhances passenger experience - especially at the lobby (call chimes, lanterns).

[@t3224.elevators_nz]

Yeah. IMO one of the few companies where the newer models triumph the older ones.

[@petershen1984]

Note that the chime around 8:25 and 8:43 plays an ascending or descending tone based on current running direction. But, a design flaw makes it play an ascending tone coming up to you before the arrow switches down. (The flashing arrow outside changes immediately, but the in car arrow only changes after flashing digits, and the car controls the chime) Compare to the familiar chime at 9:28 Hall call cancelling also works and the elevator will make the nearest stop without door opening.

[@jonnydoman1338]

MITSUBISHI ARE AWESOME!! No wander they always makes best quality elevators!

[@idl3k_elev]

Ikr? Mitsubishi never stops making nice and high quality elevators!

[@concert_etiquette]

Jonny Doman and I thought they just made cars! XD

[@SwervyWTF]

SgLiftfilmer3710 I found a Mitsubishi aircon in a Mitsubishi elevator

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Jonny Doman i agree

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

I swear to god, I have never seen or heard a Mitsubishi elevator break down, not to mention the chimes are great and the design dosent dissapoint either

[@ElevationStationProductions]

Interesting! Seeing elevators from other countries is always fun! I love the editing too!

[@HiepHenryElevators]

Nice! Door closing without chime,Voiceover is really common in my country!

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

When I was in Hong Kong, the Hotel I stayed at had some 90's Mitsubishi lifts in it with an interesting feature. When you pressed the button, it would immediately chime once to tell you which lift was coming (and a lantern would light up). When the lift arrived, it would chime twice and the lantern would flash.

[@idl3k_elev]

That feature is called "Call/Car Prediction". Other manufacturers also offers this feature as an option.

[@nuuroali5481]

Oh yeah I was at Saudia Arabia the hotel I stayed at had a Mitsubishi elevator and it does that too Alex

[@ariarjuna3775]

in malaysia mitsubishi,schindler,hitachi and toshiba are quite popular there you can a lot of those fixtures even schindler M-line is very popular here

[@kvproductionselevator]

Nice fun facts that feels generally unusual.

[@luigioctaviano]

Add also: Chimes are Low-Pitched in other lift installations (Especially in High Rise Buildings/High Speed Elevators)

[@defaultyotis_x7528]

Luigi Octaviano iv been on mitsubishi elevators alot and also noticed this

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

mitsubichi elevators are my fav

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

BTW what remix is that sonic 3 credits song

[@nuel2808]

Fact 3 Music : Sonic 3 - Ending Music (Remix).

[@t3224.elevators_nz]

Oh thanks! I’ve been looking for this song for ages (honestly the catchiest of all 4 of them), and I initially thought it came from the KZbin Audio Library lol!

[@williamscoufaras7045]

If a Mitsubishi Elevator was to cancel a single floor call while traveling, it would drop you off a couple of floors up/down

[@TransportationONLY]

Once I rode a HDB Mitsubishi lift(Singapore) with a call-cancelled feature The lift was going to level one So deselect 1 It work and the lift just stopped at a random floor(the floor it can stop to)

[@idl3k_elev]

Yeah, I have seen that too on someone's video of a Mitsubishi GPS-III elevator.

[@TransportationONLY]

IDLift3000 ohhh I wonder what is the voice announcement on the SG HDB MITSUBISHI Lifts

[@idl3k_elev]

What do you mean?

[@TransportationONLY]

CraftHunterGaming - buses, trains yah

[@CityLifeinAmerica]

True for US Mitsubishi elevators too

[@PL1Lifts]

4:36 no wonder my church's lift didn't have call cancel when I tried it.

[@LiftyGamez]

There's another hidden fact for some mitsubishi- when the lift is not in use for long periods of time the indicator dims slightly. When it gets used again then the indicator brightens back to normal.

[@namhyeongkim_cos]

Some OTIS Gen2s with LCD indicators (let's say like the ones I was filmed in Jembatan Suroboyo) also does that

[@williamscoufaras7045]

When will they Install Mitsubishi Elevators in New York? I want to ride one sooo Bad

[@LiftyGamez]

There are already some there

[@TechNerdNolan]

LiftyGamez WHERE?????

[@AwesomeAmity]

Can I please have a link to the elevator ar 2:07

[@liftsurfer52]

What does floor LM mean if it’s a floor between floors LG and GF/G?

[@idl3k_elev]

Lower Mezzanine presumably.

[@knowledgeexpress3874]

My condo have keyhole at the bottom floor and the freight elevator have keyhole on the floor that not on the bottom or top floor is that MRL or an MMR?

[@idl3k_elev]

Unless there is a photo of your condo elevator, I can't tell if it's MRL or not. Basically if a keyhole is on the top floor call button panel then it's definitely MRL.

[@hx5724]

I've also seen an elevator which the outside screen is similar to that in 0:35 , but the font of the number is different -- the number is bolded than the one in 0:35 . How can that be happen?

[@t3224.elevators_nz]

Just another Mitsubishi font, I believe. I reckon you have the choice to choose between the regular font and the thicker font, even in the modern day.

[@10GTech]

WHERE IS THE VIDEO AT 1:52 ???

[@namhyeongkim_cos]

Mau tanya, klo DDE pertama di Surabaya (which is di TP5) kan voiceoverny cuma "going up/going down" saja, nggak ada voiceover lantai, kira2 itu masuk ke AAN-B/G?

[@idl3k_elev]

I would say, sepertinya AAN-B.

[@namhyeongkim_cos]

Satu lagi mengenai keyhole di HOP lantai teratas itu MRL. Kalau yang MRL B-D berarti HOP yang ada keyholenya itu di lantai terbawah kah?

[@namhyeongkim_cos]

Btw klo yg di UNJ itu ada voiceover tapi kok gak ada chime pintu menutup ya? Apa itu custom built (mengingat yg voice bahasa Inggris sebelum bahasa Indo itu beda dengan voiceover bahasa Inggris biasa seperti yg di Neo Soho dulu)?

[@idl3k_elev]

Kurang tau sih...bisa jadi itu custom.

[@petershen1984]

I also found an interesting example where they only upgraded the operator panel and not the brains of the elevator, so you have the large matrix display in the car but doesn't flash the arrival floor or direction arrow on the outside.

[@PL1Lifts]

7:33 I wish that lift was original

[@petershen1984]

Old car with new computer, notice the disabled center display

[@cjermia1]

Btw, speaking about Mitsubishi, do you know that the elevators at Hilton Nusa dua (formerly Grand Nikko) have been replaced into Mitsubishi NEXIEZ-MRs? I was curious on what elevators that building used to have.

[@idl3k_elev]

Knew that already. Someone said that they were originally 1990s Mitsubishi (probably GPS) but then modernized by LINE in the 2000s or 2010s. Glad to see they've been replaced with something better.

[@cjermia1]

@@idl3k_elev : I have no idea why they decide to mod them into LINE at the first place tbh. I can't imagine how the mod looks like back then, must've been "unsatisfactory" considering how high-class the hotel is. Glad that they replaced them back to a proper set of elevators.

[@nuuroali5481]

There is 1 fact about Mitsubishi elevators that is the voice saying sorry to keep you waiting that happened to a Mitsubishi elevator I was staying at it was holiday Inn ln Saudi Arabia

[@kuro_5537]

You can see a lot of elevators in Taiwan with no noises!So quiet

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Mitsubishi!!!!

[@xuefengliu2755]

I guess cancelling a single car call is possible only when the lift has no car calls and when the lift is not in motion

[@TheDragonFire123]

It seems that it's caused by the fact that (most) Mitsubishis refuse to let you cancel a car call it's already trying to fulfil, even if there are more than one. For example, if the lift were heading to level 12, then I wouldn't be able to cancel it, even if B2 is selected.

[@beingintheusisaflex]

Can I find this in indo?

[@idl3k_elev]

yes

[@picharathida]

The Glass Elevator Is Easiest Way To See On Fact#3.

[@dai-chang1491]

7:36　日本語では「お待たせしました」

[@ag6371]

Only Mitsubishi elevators have a door close chime

[@concert_etiquette]

Reversed chime? That's odd.

[@idl3k_elev]

Those reversed chimes are commonly heard in modernized older Mitsubishi elevators in low to mid-rise buildings.

[@concert_etiquette]

IDLift3000 Thanks so much! :D ;D

[@AaronTechnic]

"Sorry to keep you waiting" is an interesting voice. But why does it say that?

[@idl3k_elev]

It's to inform people that the stopping time is slightly longer than expected, especially when the elevator is very busy.

[@AaronTechnic]

@@idl3k_elev ah, I see. Quite confused since the lift didn't take long in your case.

[@caja1491]

Comparing AAN-B vs AAN-G, I prefer the AAN-G voice better.

[@liftsurfer52]
