Liftronic mod. Schindler MRL traction at Robina Town Centre (Lift 16)

The Liftronic mod. Schindler MRL traction at Robina Town Centre (Lift 16) is located in near the Food Atrium and the Promenade of Robina Town Centre. It connects the Promenade on LG2 to the lower and upper malls (LG1 and G) respectively.

History

Lift 16 was installed in 2007 as part of the Promenade and Food Atrium extension. When installed, it was a Liftronic Unitronic in the same style as Lift 14, 15 and 17. It was very unreliable; the Tonic indicator never worked, chronically displaying two asterisks (**), the buttons had a habit of flashing, and it levelled blindly and slowly. At the time, the floor numbering was 1, 2, and 3.

In 2017, the elevator was modernised to the same standards as a Schindler 5500 by Schindler. The modernisation completely overhauled the lift, changing all lanterns to Schindler Linea LED dot-matrix ones, replacing the COP with a Linea 300 one complete with working indicators, and adding intelligent levelling and pre-door. When installed, it used the Schindler Asian/worldwide voice.

In 2018, the floor numbering was changed from 1, 2 and 3 to LG2, LG1 and G. As part of these upgrades, the buttons and indicator logic were changed. However, because the logic was unable to accomodate three-digit floor names, the floors were instead programmed as -2, -1 and G. Initially, the lift kept its Asian voice but did not announce Ground Floor, despite having a message for it. Later, the voice was changed to the Australian one, but still kept the Asian voice clip for "minus".
