In the early 1990s, Lester Controls first designed a competitive relay controller service to bring to the UK home lift market, and after introducing PLC based microprocessor controllers, our reputation really started to grow. Lester Controls started to become known for providing good, reliable and easy to understand equipment, and so, the Lester Controls name was beginning to spread far and wide throughout the industry. As our experience and knowledge grew, so did our ideas, and in 1998 the decision was made to develop a ‘lift specific’ microprocessor based lift controller. Thus, the highly successful MP500 was born and has been installed on some 4,500 lifts over the years. Since 2000, there have been several changes involving expansion and product development, our milestones have included: The opening of a midlands factory to cover R&D and electronics assembly Our Ancillary equipment growing substantially and now representing 20% of annual turnover Hailing the launch of the internet based controller the ‘Almega’ Launching our Almega II controller with a more powerful duel-core microprocessor, LCD display and user-friendly interface Becoming more environmentally friendly – we recently integrated eco-friendly features to our Almega / MP2G and Almega II controllers to improve on energy efficiency LESTER CONTROL SYSTEMS LTD Head Office Unit D 18 Imperial Way Croydon Surrey CR0 4RR +44(0)20 8288 0668 Midlands Office Units 1-4 Wycliffe Industrial Park Leicester Road Lutterworth Leicestershire LE17 4HG +44(0)1455 204980 Glasgow Office 4 Lonmay Place Panorama Business Park Glasgow G33 4ER +44(0)141 7716171 www.lestercontrols.co.uk info@lestercontrols.co.uk orders@lestercontrols.co.uk technical@lestercontrols.co.uk CONTROLLERS Lift Controllers Almega II Hydraulic Elevators Hydraulic VVVF Traction VVVF - Magnetek Axial Flux Traction VVVF - Magnetek HPV900 S2 Traction VVVF - HPV1000 Traction VVVF - Quattro DC & AC Traction VVVF - Ziehl Abegg 4CS LesterXpress - Hydraulic LesterXpress - Traction Machineroomless Lifts (MRL) Relay APB Escalator Controllers Almega II Type 1 Almega II Escalator Controllers VF Escalator Controllers Obsolete Controller Components Almega Controller Drives Invertek Optidrive P2 AC Variable Speed Drive Ziehl Abegg 4CS Drive Magnetek Quattro DC & AC Drive Magnetek 900AF Axial Flux Drive Magnetek HPV900 S2 Drive Magnetek HPV1000 Drive SHAFT & MOTOR Lift Shaft Serial Push Looms Landing Node Board Car Node Board Serial Push Loom Cables Shaft Wire Half Way Box Unwired Limits Prewired Limit Kits Plug & Play Technology Motor Room Alarm Charger, Hand Winding Units & True Position Hand Writing Encoders Windcrest True 2-Wire Autodialler SafeLine 4-Wire Autodialler CAR & LANDING External Car Load Weigher / Monitor Car Top Controls Tape Heads / Proximities USP Shaft Positioning System Lester Absolute Positioning System (CEDES) Light Curtain Safety Edge MB-194 Windcrest True 2-Wire Autodialler SafeLine 4-Wire Autodialler CAR & LANDING Faceplates Indicator Faceplates Landing Call Faceplates Hall Lanterns Hall Lanterns, Blade and Bulb Indicators High Definition (HDI) 16/32 Indicators TC3 Indicators 2 Segment Dot Matrix Indicator (Discrete and Binary Inputs) TFT 43/70 Indicators Internal Car Voice Synthesiser (VSSA & VS3) Call Zappers & Lift Car Security Car Operating Panels Handrails Windcrest True 2-Wire Autodialler SafeLine 4-Wire Autodialler Keyswitches COP/LOP Keyswitches - Types A/B/C/D Push Buttons PB4 Push Buttons PB5 Push Buttons PB6 Push Buttons 4-way Buzzer Board 8-way Buzzer Board Copyright © 2021, Lester Controls Limited.
