These are starting to pop up some more I would think. They are currently installing one right by my house. Found it open on the 2nd floor for the first time (building is open but the elevator is a work in progress) and it has the new Otis eView indicator but the power isn't on quite yet.
These might just be prototypes, but I guess it's safe to call them Gen3 anyhow, esp. because of the documents. I would not go w/ "series 8," esp. since the interior COP is the exact same (unless if it has the other indicator).
I don't think these are gen3, they're just Newer series 2 with prototype cosmetics/signalization line. the motor being centered in the shaft could very well just be an overslung setup. this looks like a Gen2 to me. plus, it's been said that the first Gen3 will be installed in China
That just means that was the 1st set ordered, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the 1st installed. Other installs can start & finish between some other install. There are documents showing the lanterns & exterior indicators used here are the official 1s for the North American Gen3.
These are cool, although these are most likely not Gen3s as they havent even released them in Asia yet, post likely just custom or prototype NS2/Gen2s.

We're not saying these are the 1st anywhere (& no 1 should even say these are officially the 1st in the U.S. either).

These aren’t called series 8, or 7, and I get it’s an unofficial name but these fixtures are used on all of Otis’s models aside from series 1 and destination dispatch, the real name of it is MicroMotion III
The part about applied being Series 2 & swing-return being Series 4 might be true, as it is on older COPs, but those names are not on any Otis documents w/ these COPs, & the "newer Series 2" & 4 part is definitely not official, it's probably just something someone added to differentiate these from older versions. I just call these the (newer) applied & swing-return panels. Only the buttons themselves (not the COPs) are Micro-Motion III.
@@EWPA14 yeah I’m not calling the whole elevator a micromotion III, or the panel, I’m talking about the button, and yes, I guess you are right about the NS2, 4 because I got told that Otis used it, so I’m assuming it’s just called series 2, 4
Gen3 being 2 years old is crazy. Now TKE EOX or Evolution 200 is the new upcoming thing I guess
Evolution started in 2019.
Interesting. Honestly I would have thought that these were Gen2's with souped-up lanterns

Skyscrapersim boutta get their first Gen3, let alone a MOD of a Hydraulic. Odd, yes?
What’s eView? Is that the type of indicator on a Gen3????

How much longer until they reach NJ?
Probably not much longer.
The buttons, i think they are actually called 3rd Generation Series 2 in this case
🤦♂️
They're the same as all the other HydroFit and Gen2 Installs

The Otis Gen3 chimes sound like KONE KSS Chimes at high tone.
Very Similar!
Also similar in tempo to the Low Pitch Schindler HT chimes.
@@braydenellerman1936 And the American voice sounds so cute! 😊❤
the voice is slightly different

They're prototypes. They for sure have Gen3 components, but I'm not 100% sure if they're fully Gen3.
Actually, the first Gen3s are in China. Not USA.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re not called “Newer Series 2” either.
Yeah, it’s not a false term because Otis uses the name, but it isn’t the true name.

I ride only gen 2.
