Depending on the available floor-to-ceiling heights on the top level of your home, there are different PVE Machinery Configurations Available for your residential elevator.
STANDARD MOUNT CONFIGURATION
A quick to install, aesthetically pleasing solution, Standard Mounted applications allow for the PVE Machinery to be installed directed on top of the upper-floor cylinder.
The simplest solution in terms of installation, Standard Mounted applications are plug & play systems that require a 220 volt power supply and an active phone line to be located directly above or close to the top of the unit.
MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED ON THE TOP FLOOR
107 Inches *
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
SPLIT-UNIT MOUNT CONFIGURATION
Designed to accommodate installations with lower overhead clearances, Split-Unit Mounted applications allow for the PVE Machinery to be remotely located from the top of the unit.
With both Indoor and Outdoor Split-Unit options available, remotely locating the machinery reduces the minimum height required on the top floor with the PVE Machinery installed up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the upper-floor cylinder.
Connected to the top of the elevator by two 4″ inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative,
Split-Unit Mounted applications require the 220 volt power supply and an active phone line to be located wherever the PVE Controller is installed.
MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED ON THE TOP FLOOR
97” Inches *
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
Standard Mount – Machinery Options
With two Standard Mount Machinery options available, these easy-to-install solutions allow the PVE Machinery to be installed directly above the elevator.
STANDARD MOUNT
Included as the base PVE Machinery option for all home elevator orders, a Standard Mount application allows the PVE Machinery to be installed directly on top of the upper floor cylinder. Here are some advantages to our residential elevators.
ADVANTAGES
MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED ON THE TOP FLOOR
105” Inches *
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
STANDARD MOUNT – ACOUSTIC
Utilizing audio engineering and sound proofing material to reduce decibel ratings, the Standard Mount Acoustic upgrade option is a plug & play solution that allows the PVE Machinery to be installed directly on top of the upper floor cylinder.
ADVANTAGES
MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED ON THE TOP FLOOR
107” Inches
Split-Unit Mount – Machinery Options
Available for in both Indoor & Outdoor use, Split-Unit Mounted applications allows the PVE Machinery to be remotely located up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the unit.
SPLIT-UNIT MOUNT – INDOOR
Designed to accommodate installations with lower Overhead Clearances on the top floor, the Split-Unit Mount – Indoor machinery option is an upgrade that allows the PVE Machinery to be installed remotely inside the home.
Connected to the top of the elevator by two 4″ inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative, the Split-Unit machinery can be installed up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the unit and is often located in attics, adjacent closets or mechanical rooms within the home.
Due to its smaller footprint, only one 4” inch PVC Pipe or a single flex hose alternative is required for the single passenger PVE30 residential elevator model.
ADVANTAGES
MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED ON THE TOP FLOOR
97 Inches*
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
PVE SPLIT-UNIT – INDOOR – Machinery Dimensions
PVE30: 26” x 20” x 18”
PVE37 + PVE52: 34” x 24” x 24”
Additional Installation Requirements – Split-Unit Mount – Indoor
Depending on where the PVE Machinery is remotely installed inside your home,
additional installation requirements may be needed to accommodate our Split-Unit Mount – Indoor machinery option
REMOTELY LOCATE PVE CONTROLLER
Depending on the temperature readings of the environment in which the Split-Unit Machinery is installed, remotely locating the PVE Controller in a temperature-controlled environment inside the home may be required. The 220 volt power supply and phone line must be located wherever the PVE Controller is installed.
PVE Controller Dimensions: 20” x 9” x 5”
HOUSING & ENCLOSURES
For installations where the PVE Split-Unit Machinery is installed in a location that isn’t temperature controlled, the authorized distributor installing the unit may recommend building an enclosure 6” inches great than the equipment for all dimensions.
A 6” inch air supply connecting the interior of the home to the enclosure would be required to ensure temperature controlled air from inside the home is entering the enclosure.
SPLIT-UNIT MOUNT – OUTDOOR
Designed to allow the PVE Machinery to be installed externally from the home,
the Split-Unit Mount – Outdoor machinery option is an upgrade designed to allow the PVE Machinery to be installed in an exterior setting.
Installed inside a fiberglass enclosure, this PVE Machinery solution is connected to the top of the elevator by two 4″ inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative and can be installed outside up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the unit. Due to its smaller footprint, only one 4” inch PVC Pipe or a single flex hose alternative is required for the single passenger PVE30 model.
ADVANTAGES
MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED ON THE TOP FLOOR
97 Inches*
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
SPLIT-UNIT – OUTDOOR – Enclosure Dimensions
Fiberglass Enclosure: 36” 5/8 x 26” 24/32 x 18” 1/2
Additional Installation Requirements – Split-Unit – Outdoor
REMOTELY LOCATE PVE CONTROLLER
Due to the PVE Machinery being installed externally and in an outdoor environment, remotely locating the PVE Controller inside the home in a temperature-controlled environment is required for the Split-Unit – Outdoor machinery option.
The 220 volt power supply and phone line must be located wherever the PVE Controller is installed.
PVE Controller Dimensions: 20” x 9” x 5”
TOP FLOOR EXTENSION
Available for both Standard Mount + Split-Unit Mounted Applications.
Ideal for installations with taller floor-to-ceiling heights on their top level,
the Top Floor Extension upgrade allows the top of the elevator to extend and terminate 1” inch below the ceiling at the top floor for a cleaner aesthetic and finish.
Available for both Standard Mount + Split-Unit Mounted Applications, this upgrade conceals any PVE piping or cabling that may otherwise be exposed while also giving the visual impression of the elevator traveling to another level.
The interior panels for the Top Floor Extension will be painted the same as the color of the aluminum frame for the elevator.
