Overview

Full manoeuvre controller for geared traction lifts — houses the mainboard, VVVF inverter, battery backup and safety, ready to install.

Movilift's geared VVVF controller is a complete, pre-engineered cabinet for traction lifts driven by a geared motor. Built around the BR100/BR200/BR400 mainboard and a matched VVVF inverter, it delivers smooth, energy-efficient rides with precise positioning.

It is available in five configurations — machine-room (MR-TT, MR-TP, AC2) and machine-room-less (MRL-TT, MRL-TTx) — with the ARD emergency system that brings the car to the nearest floor and re-opens the doors on power loss. Options include factory pre-wiring (BR-SYSTEM), voice announcer (nVOICE), door pre-opening and GPRS/PSTN remote control (MOVICONTROL).
