Building Security Menu

Elevator Security is typically used to prevent access to specific floors via the elevators, or to limit
access to passengers with a valid security code. MCE's elevator security options include Basic
Security and Basic Security with Remote Monitoring. Basic Security provides a means to pre-
vent registration of unauthorized car calls. Basic Security with Remote Monitoring provides a
means to prevent registration of unauthorized car calls and/or hall calls and additional pro-
gramming options are available via the remote monitoring. Refer to MCE's iMonitor User's
Guide, part # 42-02-S025 for additional information and instructions for using the remote
monitoring software. The Appendix Elevator Security Information and Operation in this man-
ual provides instructions for passengers who will be using the elevator while Security is ON. For
both Basic Security and Basic Security with Remote Monitoring, the security codes for each
floor are programmed as described below.
The Security code for each floor may consist of one to eight characters where each character is
one of the floor buttons found in the elevator car. With Basic Security, any floor with a pro-
grammed security code is a secured floor when Security is ON. Basic Security is turned ON or
OFF by the Building Security Input (BSI)
combination with the BSI Security Key parameter in the Extra Features Menu
RITY KEY" on page
ENABLED, and DEACTIVATED:
• If set to ACTIVATED, Security is ON.
• If set to ENABLED, Security is ON when the BSI input is turned ON.
• If set to DEACTIVATED, Security is OFF regardless of the status of the BSI input.
To find the BSI input, refer to the job prints. When Security is ON, all car calls are screened by
the computer and become registered only if 1) the call is not to a secured floor, or 2) the call is to
a secured floor and its security code is correctly entered within 10 seconds.
