Understanding PVE Vacuum Elevator Machinery Configurations
STANDARD MOUNT CONFIGURATION
A quick to install, aesthetically pleasing solution, Standard Mounted applications allow for the PVE Machinery to be installed directed on top of the upper-floor cylinder.
The simplest solution in terms of installation, Standard Mounted applications are plug & play systems that require a 220 volt power supply and an active phone line becomes approachable directly above or close to the top of the unit.
Minimum height required on the
top floor 107 Inches *
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
Split-unit mount configuration
Can accommodate installations with lower overhead clearances, Split-Unit applications allow for the PVE Machinery to remotely find from the top of the unit.
With both Indoor and Outdoor Split-Unit options available, remotely locating the machinery reduces the minimum height required on the top floor with the PVE Machinery installed up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the upper-floor cylinder.
Connected to the top of the elevator by two 4″ inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative, Split-Unit Mounted applications require the 220 volt power supply and an active phone line to be located wherever the PVE Controller is installed.
Minimum height required on the top floor 97” Inches *
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility of your desired installation.
Standard Mount – Machinery Options
With two Standard Mount Machinery options available, these easy-to-install solutions allow the PVE Machinery to be installed directly above the elevator.
- STANDARD MOUNT
Included as the base PVE Machinery option for all home elevator orders, a Standard Mount application allows the PVE Machinery to be installed directly on top of the upper floor cylinder.
ADVANTAGES
- Standard Mounted Machinery.
- Quick & Easy Installation.
- Self-Contained, Plug & Play Operation
Minimum height required on the
top floor 105” Inches *
- STANDARD MOUNT – ACOUSTIC
Utilizing audio engineering and sound proofing material to reduce decibel ratings, the Standard Mount Acoustic upgrade option is a plug & play solution that allows the PVE Machinery to be installed directly on top of the upper floor cylinder.
ADVANTAGES
- Decibel Reducing Solution for Standard Mounted.
- Applications
- Plug & Play System.
- Easy-to-Install Machinery Option.
Minimum height required on the
top floor 107” Inches *
Split-Unit Mount – Machinery Options
Available for both Indoor & Outdoor use, Split-Unit Mounted applications allows the
PVE Machinery to be remotely located up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the unit.
SPLIT-UNIT MOUNT – INDOOR
Connected to the top of the elevator by two 4″ inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative, the Split-Unit
machinery can be installed up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the unit and is often located in attics,
adjacent closets or mechanical rooms within the home.
Designed to accommodate installations with lower Overhead Clearances on the top floor, the Split-Unit Mount -Indoor machinery option is an upgrade that allows the PVE Machinery to be installed remotely inside the home.
Due to its smaller footprint, only one 4” inch PVC Pipe or a single flex hose alternative is required for the single
passenger PVE30 model.
ADVANTAGES
- Lower Overhead Clearance Requirements on the Top Floor.
- Reduction of Decibel Ratings Inside Home.
- Customizable Positioning of the Split-Unit Machinery Inside the Home.
Minimum height required on the top floor 97 Inches*
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the feasibility
of your desired installation.
PVE SPLIT-UNIT – INDOOR – Machinery Dimensions
- PVE30: 26” x 20” x 18”
- PVE37: + PVE52: 34” x 24” x 24”
Additional Installation Requirements Split-Unit – Indoor
Depending on where the PVE Machinery is remotely installed inside your home, additional installation requirements may be needed to accommodate our Split-Unit Mount – Indoor machinery option.
REMOTELY LOCATE PVE CONTROLLER
Depending on the temperature readings of the environment in which the Split-Unit Machinery is installed, remotely locating the PVE Controller in a temperature-controlled environment inside the home may be required. The 220 volt power supply and phone line must be located wherever the PVE Controller is installed.
- PVE Controller Dimensions: 20” x 9” x 5”
HOUSING & ENCLOSURES
For Installations where the PVE Split-Unit Machinery is installed in a location inside the home that isn’t temperature controlled, the authorized distributor installing the unit may recommend building an enclosure 6” inches greater than the equipment for all dimensions.
A 6” inch air supply connecting the interior of the home to the enclosure would be required to ensure temperature controlled air from inside the home is entering the enclosure.
SPLIT-UNIT MOUNT – OUTDOOR
Connected to the top of the elevator, the PVE Machinery is installed in a fiberglass enclosure, ensuring protection and efficiency through two 4″ PVC pipes.
Designed to allow the PVE Machinery to be installed externally from the home, the Split-Unit Mount – Outdoor machinery option is an upgrade designed to allow the PVE Machinery to be installed in an exterior setting.
Installed inside a fiberglass enclosure, this PVE Machinery solution is connected to the top of the elevator by two 4″ inch PVC pipes or a flex hose alternative and can be installed outside up to 30 linear feet away from the top of the unit. Due to its smaller footprint, only one 4” inch PVC Pipe or a single flex hose alternative is required for the single passenger PVE30 model.
ADVANTAGES
- Lower Floor-to-Ceiling Height Requirement on the Top Floor.
- Most Efficient Audio Solution for PVE Machinery.
- Customizable Positioning of the Split-Unit Machinery Outside the Home.
Minimum height required on the top floor 97 Inches*
*Lower Height Clearances are possible. Speak to a PVE Sales Representative to confirm the
feasibility of your desired installation.
PVE SPLIT-UNIT – OUTDOOR – Machinery Dimensions
- Fiberglass Enclosures: 36” 5/8 x 26” 24/32 x 18” 1/2
Additional Installation Requirements Split-Unit – Outdoor
Additional installation requirements may be needed to accommodate our
Split-Unit Mount – Outdoor machinery option.
REMOTELY LOCATE PVE CONTROLLER
Due to the PVE Machinery being installed externally and in an outdoor environment, remotely locating the PVE Controller inside the home in a temperature-controlled environment is required for the Split-Unit – Outdoor machinery option.
The 220 volt power supply and phone line must be located wherever the PVE Controller is installed.
- PVE Controller Dimensions: 20” x 9” x 5”
TOP FLOOR EXTENSION
Available for both Standard Mount + Split-Unit Mounted Applications.
TERMINATE 1” INCH BELOW CEILING
deal for installations with taller floor-to-ceiling heights on their top level, the Top Floor Extension upgrade allows the top of the elevator to extend and terminate 1” inch below the ceiling at the top floor for a cleaner aesthetic and finish.
Available for both Standard Mount + Split-Unit Mounted Applications, this upgrade conceals any PVE piping or cabling that may otherwise be exposed while also giving the visual impression of the elevator traveling to another level.
The interior panels for the Top Floor Extension will be painted the same as the color of the exterior aluminum frame for the elevator.
