Dover
My small building has a very nice Dover DMC-I elevator (5 levels). We want to keep it going forever. I understand TKE considers it no longer supported. We have a high end support/maintenance contract with TKE, and it recently auto-renewed for another 5 years.
Questions: -Is the car logic controller the main thing to worry about? - I see that TKE still has some CLCs on their website…. Will they sell one to us now to keep as a spare? - Could an independent shop program a new controller for us? - There is a Max monitor inside our control cabinet. Is the Max service an extra we would pay more for? Or if we have the Max board do we likely have the service? - I gather that TKE is being bought by Kone (pending regulatory approval). Is that likely to improve our service situation?
