Overview of KONE MonoSpace® 500 Elevator Planning Guide

This document provides detailed technical specifications, planning dimensions, and installation guidelines for the KONE MonoSpace® 500 machine-room-less elevator system, designed for passenger capacities from 3 to 15 persons and loads between 240 and 1,150 kg.

1. Technical Specifications

• Load Capacity: 240 to 1,150 kg (3 to 15 persons)
• Speeds: 1.0 m/s, 1.6 m/s, and 1.75 m/s
• Maximum Stops: Up to 24 floors
• Maximum Travel Height: 55 m at 1.0 m/s; 75 m at 1.6 and 1.75 m/s
• Minimum Door Height: Cabin door height plus 550 mm
• Door Types: Two-part sliding doors (KES 201 and KES 600) with frame construction (120 mm side, 150 mm top), available as central or side opening
• Additional Door Options: Portal doors, niche doors to reduce shaft depth, and custom door solutions upon request

2. Shaft and Pit Dimensions

Planning dimensions for shaft headroom (SK), pit depth (SG), cabin height (KH), door height (TH), and stop spacing (HST) are provided with variations depending on speed and door type.

• Standard shaft headroom ranges up to 4,200 mm; pit depth up to 1,550 mm; maximum stop spacing up to 11,000 mm.
• Additional 80 mm shaft headroom required for ceilings with integrated ladders or specific ceiling types (CL151, CL162, CL193).
• Reduced shaft headroom possible with KONE ceiling types RL11 and RL12 (saves 80 mm).
• Different pit dimensions apply if counterweight safety gear is installed.
• Minimum shaft width and depth depend on cabin width and door type; e.g., for cabin widths under 1,050 mm, minimum shaft width is 1,290 mm.

3. Cabin and Shaft Layouts

Detailed tables provide cabin width (KB), cabin depth (KT), door width (TB), shaft width (SB), shaft depth (ST), door opening width (TAB), and wall recess dimensions (WA, WA1) for various passenger capacities and speeds. Both central and side-opening door configurations are covered.

• Cabin dimensions are variable beyond fixed standards, allowing customization with different door widths.
• Barrier-free design complies with EN 81-70 standards (minimum 900 mm door width per German regulations).
• Firefighter elevators per EN 81-72 may require larger shaft dimensions; consultation is recommended.

4. Door Systems Overview

• KES 100: Up to 200,000 door cycles/year, suitable for narrow shafts.
• KES 201: Up to 200,000 door cycles/year, standard door type in this guide.
• KES 600: Up to 400,000 door cycles/year, vandalism-resistant materials available.
• KES 800: Over 400,000 door cycles/year, also vandalism-resistant and suitable for firefighter elevators.
• Door frame widths vary by type: KES 201 and KES 600 have 120 mm side and 150 mm top frames; KES 100 has 100 mm frame width.
• Door operation influences ride comfort; KES 201 door drive can enter standby mode to reduce power consumption.

5. Maintenance and Safety Features

• Maintenance control panels are available as wall-mounted or door-frame-mounted units, located on the motor side at the topmost stop or optionally one floor below.
• Required free space for maintenance panels: minimum 700 mm; 1,200 mm if public access is expected.
• Elevator components include KONE EcoDisc drive with frequency control and optimized braking for smooth and quiet operation, improved cabin noise insulation, isolated guide shoes, and safety devices such as speed governors and buffers.

6. Design and Customization

KONE offers a variety of cabin design options accessible via their online cabin designer tool, allowing customers to customize cabin aesthetics and features easily.

7. Recommendations and Notes

• Reduced shaft headroom and pit depth options are available for cabins with heights of 2,100 and 2,200 mm, speed 1.0 m/s, and travel height up to 40 m, but are not generally recommended for safety reasons.
• Consult KONE for planning with reduced shaft dimensions or special requirements.
• All dimensions and specifications are for planning purposes only and subject to change.
• Color differences may exist between product and illustrations.
