New models are NICE 1000 & NICE 3000+ .
What MONARCH Upgrades
Relay-based or obsolete microprocessor controllers
Motor drives and speed control systems
Selector and position detection systems
Wiring, terminals, and safety circuits
Fault diagnostic and monitoring capabilities
Key Benefits
Smoother acceleration and deceleration
Accurate floor leveling
Faster response to hall calls
Improved traffic handling during peak hours
Real-time fault diagnostics and remote monitoring options
Reduced energy consumption with modern VVVF drives
Easier code compliance and future upgrades
Ideal For
Office buildings
Hotels and hospitals
Residential high-rises
Retail centers
Mixed-use developments
Any elevator with aging or unreliable controls
