24 inches - 1 passenger, limited space available in building
32 inches - 1 passenger and 1 child, side by side
40 inches - 2 passengers, side by side

	STEP WIDTH INFORMATION
For high usage installations, such as large department stores, shopping malls, airports and railway stations, a [40 in.] step width is preferable. This allows two adult passengers to stand on each step and thereby maximizes the transport capacity. Escalators with a [32 in.] step width are suitable for medium or low usage installations, such as shops. This step width allows one adult passenger and a small child to stand on each step or one adult passenger with shopping bags or luggage. Escalators with a [24 in.] step width allow only one adult passenger to stand on each step and, as space is very restricted between the balustrades, they are only really suitable for installations where passengers will not be carrying large shopping bags or luggage.

	LEVEL STEPS INFORMATION
A flat step is a step that is level with the preceding step prior to the step rising or depressing to form the incline. At the upper and lower landings of the escalator there are two horizontal steps as standard. Three level steps are typically selected when handling capacity needs to be expedited for high traffic areas such as public transport or stadiums.

	SEISMIC INFORMATION
In installations where the escalator requires an allowance for seismic movement in the building structure, mountings can be provided to accommodate up to 2-3/16 in of expansion/contraction. These consist of two slip end restraints at the upper end and lower end to accommodate the movement of the building. Details for escalators spanning expansion joints are also available from your KONE sales professional.

Unit Identification:

Balustrade Glass Thickness:

3/8 inch (10mm)
1/2 inch (12mm)

Balustrade Glass Type:

Clear Glass
Tinted Glass

Chain:

Standard Chain
Automatically Lubricating Chain
Lubrication-free Chain

	LUBE-FREE CHAIN INFORMATION
The step chains are normally lubricated manually by our skilled service technicians at the regular service visit. As an alternative, we are able to offer lubrication-free step chains. As these do not require regular oil lubrication, down time due to routine maintenance is reduced and, as there is no accumulation of oil within the truss, internal truss cleaning requirements are minimal.

Step Color:

Silver Aluminum
Black Painted Aluminum

	STEP COLOR INFORMATION
As standard, the steps are painted silver. This is a similar color to the die-cast aluminum, so the step maintains a good visual appearance, even as the paint wears or if it is scratched.

Handrail Color:

Beige

Brown
Gray

Black
Black with White Dots

Demarcation Inserts:

Yellow
Black

	DEMARCATION INSERTS INFORMATION
To better enable passengers to determine where the step edges are, steps can be provided with demarcation lines cast into the front and rear edges of their tread. The following options are available: Yellow or Black plastic inserts to the sides and rear edge of each step tread. These are inserts are superior to painted lines do to the increased durability. Another advantage is that worn plastic inserts are easily replaced.

Comb Segment Color:

Yellow
Black
Aluminum

	COMB SEGMENT COLOR INFORMATION
Yellow plastic comb segments provide a clear demarcation between the moving steps and the combplates.

Access Covers:

Aluminum
Black with Aluminum Ribs
Stainless Steel

Deck Finish:

#4 Satin
#8 Polished

Apex Guards:

Include Apex Guards

	APEX GUARDS INFORMATION
Under ANSI code, guards are required at the intersection between the escalator and the ceiling, and also at the truss intersection between escalators arranged in criss-cross layout. Head guards can be supplied locally or ordered with the escalator. They are manufactured from clear Perspex (polycarbonate) and are available in left and right-handed versions. Criss-cross (60 degree) head guards are fitted by the KONE installation engineers during installation.

Deck Guards:

Include Deck Guards

	DECK GUARDS INFORMATION
Under ANSI code, appropriate measures must be taken to discourage people from climbing on the outside of the balustrades. The area where climbing is a problem is at the lower landing, typically at ground floor or basement levels. To help discourage this, deck guards are available. Deck guards can be supplied locally or ordered with the escalator. ANSI deck guards are plastic, and they mount to the deck.

Frontplates:

Black Molded Plastic
Grey Plastic
Stainless Steel #4 Satin Finish

	FRONTPLATES INFORMATION
Frontplates attach to the access cover and newel end, and contains the handrail inlet where the handrail enters and exits from the interior of the escalator.

Skirts:

Black Teflon coated 11 gauge cold rolled steel
Teflon coated 11 gauge stainless steel #4 satin finish

	SKIRTS INFORMATION
Skirts manufactured from stainless steel with a satin or bright polished finish are available as alternatives. The stainless steel skirts have a clear antifriction coat applied to them.
