The Schindler 5400 is a gearless traction elevator that comes in both MMR and MRL types. Compared to the regular 5400, the mini machine room type could run up to 125 meters (or 39 floors high), while the machine room less type only goes as high as 80 meters or 30 floors. Similar to 5400, this model is expandable in groups up to 6 elevator banks and possible to be combined with Miconic 10 destination dispatch system.
These elevators uses two series of fixtures; D-Line with green illuminating halo buttons and LED floor indicators, and E-Type with red illuminating halo square buttons and digital segments indicators. Sometime in the late 2000s, D-Line with red illuminating halo buttons and LED floor indicators were used, along with the newer silver polished M-Line buttons which were relatively rare to be used on these elevators. The chimes were the improved version of the 1980s-1990s M-Line chimes and comes in single and double-stages chimes for up and down travels respectively. When the red D-Line and newer M-Line fixtures were introduced, newer chimes were also introduced which consists of two-stages chime for upward and four-stages chime for downward travel[1]. The chimes used for elevators with E-Type fixtures consists of single-stage chime for upward[2] and double-stages chime for downward travel. The latest batch of Schindler 5400 AP elevator, which was made between 2012 and 2013 uses the four-stages and double-stages chimes with lowered pitch. In addition, they uses a reused version of the original 1980s-1990s M-Series capacity plates.[3]
Schindler 5400 AP was discontinued in 2014 but it is still in-production for few Asian countries. It was succeeded by Schindler 5500 but still made for Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela until 2018.
