The present invention relates to an improved elevator selector system. One embodiment incorporates all of the operational and A17 code required car position sensing functions into a single car mounted enclosure, without any external mechanical roller switches, by incorporating directional limits, normal terminal slow down and emergency terminal speed limiting functions into a tape selector. All operational and sensing functions may be implemented using a standard 3-inch wide tape by disposing of magnetic signalers on the opposite side of the tape from the side used for leveling and floor identification. An alignment tool facilitates placement of magnets. Tape guides permit the selector to run smoothly along the tape. Optical rather than magnetic sensors may be used for quadrature hole counting to detect relative speed and location without interfering with other magnetic functions. All selector components may be tethered to the selector enclosure to prevent accidental loss down the hoistway. Structural foam and heavy internal gussets may be used for the selector enclosure. Alignment pins on the selector enclosure facilitate component installation. Stress distributing nut plates create a strong interface between the selector enclosure and steel mounting bracket.
