Home Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Putting Otis GEN2 on safeties

Can anyone explained to me the procedure step by step on how to put Otis Gen2's on safeties and how to take them off ? Thanks in advance

Also do you need the service tool to do this ?

I've only ever done it with a tool

i don't know anyway of doing it with out some type of service tool.

E,
Do you have a service tool?

You need the service tool to arm the governor trip button.

Gov will reset by moving in up direction.

Jkh,
I borrowed one , all went well. Thanks guys.

will the original tool from otis for the 211's work on the Gen 2's?

We have that tool but do not have the Gen 2 yet on service.

the older gen 2's yes but the new ones no sorry it will not talk

solid state, there is a tool available from china that will work on the newer gcs controllers. have bought and tested a couple. a little over 200 bucks. i only tested it on a Regen controller, but it did give access to all the menus not sure about the new gen2 but i believe all the newer stuff is GCS. maybe some otis guys can weigh in on this

Vator gator- did you get that from the alibaba website?

I have a buddy that works for TK, he bought an Otis tool from Alibaba and it works on GCS controllers.

FYI you can trip the gov and reset without a tool. Look at what the tool does on the print and you can do it with a switch box hooked to the I/O that trips and resets the gov.

got it from jufengelevator.com .
yes they really do work on the GCS. you can order and pay with pay pal. can't go wrong for the price. here is the one your want GAA21750AK3 USD190

Work on old and new Gen 2?

Does the AK3 need a Dongle

no dongle needed the AK3 does not come with a dongle there was another unit on there web site that had a dongle. only bought this unit should work on new gen 2 also, if it is GCS
I know a otis guy that says some of his workers are buying this so they don't have to call otis role for temporary authorization to work on controller. funny otis guys having to buy tools to work on otis equipment, because otis won't give them the tools. thats a good one

Dont shoot the messenger I'm only passing on information!!! The reasoning behind NOT supplying the fully speced tool to ALL mechanics is that "if they did then they would be forced to sell it to anyone that needs it", because they limit it to a need to know basis then they dont have to supply it to everyone!!!.
Oh and if your right about buying the tool...then god help them if they get found out!!!

don't worry kiwi, i can't shoot straight anymore, can barely see the clock on the night stand. ha that dam dongle was a pain, whenever we needed it , it was expired. the route guys that have bought this are not advertising it I'm sure.
