The AVy-L is the lift version of SIEI’s AVy field-oriented vector drive, sold as ARTDriveL and later SIEIDrive-LIFT, and applies to both geared and gearless systems. The firmware is fixed at order time rather than by parameter: AC and AC4 units control asynchronous induction motors in field-oriented, sensorless vector or advanced V/f mode, while BR and BR4 units control synchronous brushless motors.
Twenty frame sizes run from 1007 at 0.75 kW to 81600 at 160 kW at 400 V, all on one input class of 230 V minus 15 per cent to 480 V plus 10 per cent, three-phase. Overload is quoted in elevator terms: 1.83 times continuous current for 10 seconds up to frame 4371.
The regulation card is what identifies an AVy-L in practice; its version can be read from the nameplate or from the label on the FLASH memories on the card, and is worth recording before a unit is stripped.
Field-oriented, sensorless vector and advanced V/f control on the AC and AC4 firmware, brushless control on the BR and BR4
Twenty frame sizes from 0.75 to 160 kW at 400 V on a single 230 to 480 V three-phase input class
Overload of 1.83 times continuous current for 10 seconds on frames up to 4371
Lift sequence with brake, output contactor and door control, plus pre-torque from a weight sensor at start
Landing control through an internal position regulator, with two independent S ramps and four jerk settings
IP20 as standard, IP54 for the cabinet with externally mounted heatsink on sizes 1007 to 3150

Gefran's own manual numbers three of these sizes two ways, 4220 or 4221, 4300 or 4301 and 4370 or 4371, using one number in its input table and the other in its output table. They are alternative designations for the same three ratings, not separate models. The AC input current rows, the maximum short circuit power row and the overload capability tables are published but are not reproduced here; contact us with your drive size and we will confirm them.
