    1.2.4 Elevator Restriction Unit (ERU) Mircom’s Elevator Restriction Units are used with the TX3 card access system to restrict access to elevator floors based on access level. An Elevator Restriction Unit (ERU) controls an elevator cab. It is usually installed in the building’s electrical or telephone room.

    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 grants a visitor access, the visitor must call one of the cabs controlled by ERUs 1, 2 or 3. Then the visitor must enter the cab and press the button for floor 1 or 2 within the configured amount of time.

  • Page 12: Elevator Restriction Unit Overview

    Introduction For example, Resident 1 is configured for ERU 1 and floor 5. When Resident 1 grants a visitor access, the visitor must call Cab A; the other cabs do not work. Then the visitor must enter the cab and press the button for floor 5 within the configured amount of time.
