- Not to be confused with Otis Spec 5, the predecessor of this model.
Otis Spec 50 was an elevator model of Otis Elevator Company produced in the 1980s. Manufactured by Nippon Otis Elevator Company of Japan, it was a successor of Otis Spec 5 and was sold in Japan and other Asian countries. The China version was branded as TOEC 40.
Overview[]
Otis Spec 50 was launched in February 1982 as a successor and improvement of Spec 5. The design is pretty much still the same as Spec 5 apart from a few updates. These include newly updated buttons which are now oval shaped with new typeface and clearer illuminating halo with two red LED lamp on the sides of the halo; these buttons would later be carried out on the Otis Spec 60, the successor of Spec 5[1]. The direction arrows on the floor indicators have been updated from solid to transparent and the floor number no longer blinks when changing number. This is because the controller now uses microprocessor as opposed to mechanical relays that was used in Spec 5. Spec 50 was succeeded by the Spec 60 in the late 1980s.
