Interesting set of 4 brand new OTIS Elevators at Virginia Tech with interesting Logic Gen 3?

[@MatthewUrquhart77]

Great job on this video!! These were very interesting. I really enjoyed checking them out with you! Thanks for coming to see me as always.

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks for the visit

[@henrydoesstuff213]

OH MY GOD I LOVE THESE ELEVATORS! (and the nostalgic camera!)

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks :)

[@747sooner]

I heard the Atlanta Marriott Marquis elevators have disabled the keycard readers which is a win. I hope they don’t get SMART keycarded again because they can cause issues to guests trying to get up the elevator. We should stick with REGULAR keycards which unlock all the floors.

[@CenTexElevators489]

And better yet, have the elevators open during the day (6AM to 10PM), and locked during the night (10PM to 6AM).

[@DieselDucy]

AWESOME!

[@evana6425]

These chimes kinda remind me of the kone 220s they were amazing. Love that Virginia tech has four glass elevators with a amazing and stunning green scenery. I love love these ones.perfect video of the day love love this

[@DieselDucy]

they are!

[@Cmbgo98]

There's a building near me that has a Gen 3(?) like this sharing a controller with a mid-2000s Elevonic traction elevator. It used to work like normal, but now it does the same thing and pretty heavily favors the Gen 3 unless the older elevator is on the floor where the button is pressed.

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome they are cool.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

I guess you can tell these are Otis Gen 3 because of the directional lanterns. Gen 2s usually have the more iconic/classic Series 1-like LED indicator which Gen 3 has the more European LCD ones. Also the motor might be a hint as well.

[@DieselDucy]

these are brand new.

[@pafl_elevators]

The Gen3s simular to these at LGH do that as well to save power! They also slow down sometimes in between floors as well!

[@DieselDucy]

they were cool.

[@jeramiahcastro9868]

This I had some elevator trouble yesterday at school

[@DieselDucy]

Oh no!

[@747sooner]

They are Gen3 confirmed. They have LCD indicators and new arrow lanterns and different sounding directional chimes.

[@hawaiiskylineandelevators4115]

My very first GEN3s are going to take place as soon as its location fully opens up to the public!

[@DieselDucy]

cool!

[@tobyluu13]

Do you remember thewildeeper it goes there in Blacksburg

[@DieselDucy]

yep!

[@UncommonElevators]

Yes, these are Gen3! The logic on them is a little different from Gen2. For example, the hall lanterns don't ring unless there's a hall call on that floor.

[@DieselDucy]

yep!

[@BrytonJones6063]

Wow those are new I have not knew that before Did it just open?

[@DieselDucy]

recently.

[@BrytonJones6063]

@@DieselDucy wow so it’s basically new. I can’t believe it. I’ll have to see those when I have it on video someday.

[@SamSitar]

on the first set maybe the second elevator is for overflow. the second set on elevators should number their floors 2 and 3.

[@DieselDucy]

yep!

[@EvergreenElevators]

Newer OTIS controllers are very questionably interesting. Not only does group calling function very oddly, but so does the elevator itself. They like to skip calls... I don't know what's up with OTIS these days in terms of that...

[@DieselDucy]

They are!

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

Very cool elevators.

[@DieselDucy]

thanks!

[@DylanLTindall]

Thats an interesting way to save power. Im guessing the second one in each bank is only used when they are busy.

[@DieselDucy]

it was strange.

[@AndrewWuvlogs]

What a cool way to save power

[@DieselDucy]

it was interesting.

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

Time on second elevator showing 2 hours ahead of other elevators. Interesting that they are traction for only 2 floors.

[@確-13]

I have never seen a traction for 2 floors. Interesting!

[@DieselDucy]

It was lol

[@the.amazing.elevator.man.2004]

2:58 I’ve seen these on an Otis similar to that in Las Vegas

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome! Where?

[@the.amazing.elevator.man.2004]

@@DieselDucy in the Mandalay to an exit that goes under The Shopps. What’s interesting about that is the outside floor indicator looks like a Series 7 indicator. I have a video on that

[@BrandondHasty]

Otis elevator door close works

[@DieselDucy]

ok.

[@statecollegewx4060]

Wow, these are interesting indeed

[@DieselDucy]

they are.

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

Nice elevators! I'm just not a fan of the vandal resistant blue LED buttons! Also Andrew I rode an OTIS Series 1 hydraulic elevator at a movie theater last night when I was done watching a movie! That's my first movie theater elevator I've ever been on!

[@DieselDucy]

thanks!

[@Pug1537]

Gen3!

[@DieselDucy]

it was cool.

[@seanjuth]

Yep. New logic.

[@DieselDucy]

it was.

[@ECFE]

100% Gen3. Gen2 was discontinued. These are less than a year old

[@DieselDucy]

yeah and i wonder how they will hold up.

[@ECFE]

Mechanically who knows. Modern packages just are not that durable. Especially outside. Cosmetically, also who knows? Lol. Those screens are terrible idea, even with two cameras in all cars

[@jonathangarcia9617]

Awesome.❤🎉.

[@DieselDucy]

thanks

[@JoshSmith-me7oe]

Why are there 2 per bank? Seems like a waste for such a short distance.

[@DieselDucy]

not sure.

[@bsvenadam]

Its MRL

​@@BuildingToursForLife1660-4It's not like you do the same thing... 😆

[@NWIndianaElevators]

I hate these newer Otis controllers, especially on a pair of them!

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah, it does not appear to be very good at all.

[@MrEngineer20051]

Newer Otis elevators in general are crap. 😆

[@evana6425]

Yep I agree

[@EvergreenElevators]

I agree. But however a parking garage that opened in my area (which also have brand new Gen3s) almost seem to prove otherwise. It's actually quite easy to get the other car. You just need to enter more than 1 call to ensure that it's "genuinely busy." Press the call button, the other car responds. With these, that's not possible as they only serve 2 floors...

[@APR2kNSP1]

What a waste of money spending people’s tuition money to install 4 elevators for 2 floors when the building they’re connected to probably already had one. AlsoCGen3 with iPad screens to rub it in a bit more.

[@DieselDucy]

I know right?

[@Toilets_of_georgia_and_etc]

I don’t like these tbh.

[@DieselDucy]

they are ok. and that is about it.
