Introducing Access-Controlled 
Elevators 
With access-controlled elevators, floor call-
buttons are disabled until an authorized person 
presents their access card. When the card is 
presented, the specific floors for that person 
will become available. 
Each system can include up to 32 elevators, 
and a total of up to 124 access-controlled 
floors. 
Exception: The elevator capacity is shared with doors 
(max. 32 combined). Doors also share the elevator 
numbering (and panel memory space), and will be listed 
along with the doors (editable under "Door" only). 
Tip
: You can define elevators at the end of the list, or 
click [Filter] on the toolbar to show only the numbers 
associated with elevators. 
Panel/Firmware Revision
: Support for elevators and 
controlled floor-access requires V3.0 panel firmware. 
Recommended: 
 V3.2 panel firmware, and  V1.5 
elevator controller firmware. 
Feature-Set and Licensing
: Support for elevators 
requires a 'feature-set' selection of 5
 or higher (via 
Enterprise software licensing). 
For details, refer to "Account-Wide Panel Settings", and 
"Software Activation and Licensing". 
Floor Wiring and Set-Up
: Floor relays must be wired in 
the same relative order for all elevators, and then 
defined in the same order (such as lowest to highest). 
To define system floors, refer to the floor configuration 
topic (to follow). 
The access-requirements for each elevator 
reader can be configured to meet your specific 
requirements. As well, many items can be set 
to a rotating schedule, allowing different 
parameters to be in effect after-hours. 
For details on setting up the card/token format, refer to 
"System Card-Access Settings". 
Wiegand-output reader keypads are supported for 
Card+PIN (and PIN-Only) entry modes and signalling 
duress. Matrix-style keypads (i.e., that require 
additional connections) are not
 supported for elevators.
