Schindler Elevator has obsoleted their Schindler 330
hydraulic elevator push button board the HPBNA.
What this means is that Adams Elevator/Schindler Elevator no longer will
sell this board. If your push button goes out, we will have to rely on a used
board, repaired board or a 3rd party to procure the board. There are a lot of these elevators out there
and this will impact many buildings.
What’s the story? October 1st,
2024 Schindler published a document indicating that the HPBNA hall push button
boards, typically found on 321a and 330a elevators, are not supported and discontinued. Schindler is strongly recommending everyone
to upgrade their elevator portfolios with LONPBI boards.
Who will this impact? – Anyone with a Schindler
321a or 330a.
Are parts still available? – Yes and
no. We cannot buy genuine parts from our vendor Adams Elevator(Schindler's parts
company). We can still get the boards
repaired, which is always a coinflip if they will work. Another vendor, World Electronics, has come up with a
replacement board.
Take away – If you have a Schindler 330a
elevator we recommend consulting your elevator company for 2 reasons. First because there is a CRIPNA board that is prone to failure which can cost
thousands, possibly more than ten thousand dollars, to replace. Secondly the push button boards are obsoleted.
Maybe it is time to consider modernization?
