A selector unit mounted on the car has guides for engaging the ends of the tape, a bar magnet and a magnetic sensor disposed on opposite sides of the holes to detect car movement, a magnetic sensor array in vertical alignment with the floor landing magnets and another mag- netic sensor array in vertical alignment with the door zone magnets. Preferably, the magnetic sensors are hall effect devices and are mounted on a flat board, e.g. a printed circuit board, with a special mount piece. Similarly, the bar magnets are mounted on the printed circuit board by way of a special centering mounting piece.
