Otis Elevator Black Belt Door Operator – Obsolete

 

We recently ran into an issue where we ordered parts for an Otis Black Belt door operator from the Otis Parts company and they sent replacement parts for a different Otis door operator and the parts are not compatible.  We do not run into these door operators having many problems so this was a good reminder for us to be aware of the Black Belt and talk to your customers about them so they can plan replacement.

The Otis Black Belt door operator was manufacturered 11/17/2001-8/9/2003 - short run but many manufactuered

The Black Belt looks very similar to the AT400 door operator, which is also being phased out and or obsoleted.  Look at manufacturing dates, door operator labeling as well as motor information to identify the Black Belt or AT400.
