August 1, 2001

Rancho Cordova, CA - MCE, the largest manufacturer of elevator system control panels for modernization, announced MCE's PTC-SCR Series M DC model is now available equipped with a MagneTek DSD 412 six-pulse digital drive.

MCE is the largest manufacturer of elevator system control panels for modernization in North America.

The company's Series M DC control is ideal for geared elevator applications to 350 feet per minute. The compact, wall-mount package is available for lower horsepower applications, with vertical cabinets supplied for projects to 75 HP.
