Introduction 1.2.3 Access Level You assign an access level to a card to keep track of access privileges. A card can have only one access level. 1.2.4 Elevator Restriction Unit (ERU) An Elevator Restriction Unit (ERU) controls an elevator cab. It is usually installed in the building’s electrical or telephone room.
Introduction Card Access System and New Elevator Restriction Firmware Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram of an example system that has three elevator cabs. There is an elevator restriction unit (ERU) restricting each cab, for a total of three elevator restriction units. One card reader controls all three ERUs. ERU 1 ERU 2 ERU 3...
Introduction If the access point is installed outside the elevator cab, then the resident must call the elevator first, then swipe a card at the access point. The timer must be long enough for the elevator to descend from the top floor to the lobby, and for the resident to enter the elevator cab and press a button.
Introduction 1.4.2 Firmware Versions Lower than 3.1.x (for Version 3 Panels) and Lower than 2.4.x (for Version 2 Panels) Figure 3 is a conceptual diagram of an example system that has three elevator cabs. There is an elevator restriction unit (ERU) restricting each cab, for a total of three elevator restriction units.
Introduction Telephone Access System and New Elevator Restriction Firmware Figure 4 is a conceptual diagram of an example system with three elevator cabs and a Telephone Access Controller. There is an elevator restriction unit (ERU) restricting each cab, for a total of three elevator restriction units. Telephone Access Controller controls...
Introduction For example, Resident 1 is configured for ERU 1, 2 and 3, and for Floor Group 1 (floors 1 and 2). When Resident 1 is granted access, she must call one of the cabs controlled by ERUs 1, 2 or 3. Then she must enter the cab and press the button for floor 1 or 2 within the configured amount of time.
Introduction For example, Resident 1 is configured for ERU 1 and floor 5. When Resident 1 is granted access, she must call Cab A; the other cabs do not work. Then she must enter the cab and press the button for floor 5 within the configured amount of time.
