I may come across as a salesman for them. That is the ONLY controller we will install. It is such a smooth ride on the hydro's. We are putting in the first traction this year with the smartrise, don't have any experience with the traction yet. On the spot with their delivery times and great after the sale support. What an easy product to install, adjust, and change parameters. The price has always been cheaper to me. When you add in the fact that you use less wires and smaller duct, to us it has been an easy choice.

24 volt door locks were the earlier version. They now come with 120v. They offer an upgrade kit for around $300 to convert the older models to the higher voltage locks. They also sell a snubber kit to eliminate the communication fault caused by the arc when the main and brake contactor drop.

Might be ok in most applications. But sometimes, you can have a really long run back to the controller, and experience some voltage drop, (maybe some induced noise incidently), and if there are any tarnished connections, or grit and grime on the interlocks, bang, there you go, a shutdown. Evidently, it happened enough to where SmartRise thought best to change it. Years ago, Schindler had low voltage locks, and they too later thought better of it, and switched to higher voltage. That seems to be the consensus here. But you're not wrong in thinking that, in good conditions, 24 volts is ok. I agree. I've installed 6 Smartrise controllers in the last 2 years and they are by far my favorite. Their customer support is great also! Just out of curiosity, why would you consider the 24V interlocks to be troublesome? Provided the interlocks have proper contact swipe, I can't see how this would present any issues.

Troubleshooting Smartrise is a horror when the problem is not your typical door lock or gate switch failure. Take a look at the prints, the information given is very vague. They give you point to point of the main circuits but nothing else. I agree when they run they run smooth and tuning them up is fairly easy but when problems arise they are not your easy to find like your typical MCE. All 3 SRU boards are interchangeable but you need to download the program into each board before use.
