Elevators | Schedules and Areas

This tab allows you to add the floors that are accessible from this elevator car, and configure how that floor will operate.

Click Add to add a new floor to the elevator car, and set the following:

• Schedule: This field sets an unlock schedule for the floor. When this schedule is valid the floor can be accessed freely from this elevator car without credentials. When the schedule is invalid credentials are required to access the floor.

  By default, the unlock schedule only controls the floor when the schedule changes state (becomes valid or invalid). The floor can still be controlled by other methods between these times. To ensure the floor remains in the scheduled state enable Verify.

• Area: This field sets the inside area for this floor (i.e. the area that users enter when they disembark from the elevator car). The inside area must be set to allow integration of area control with elevator access using the Follow Area and Disarm Area options.

• Late To Open: With this option enabled, when the Schedule becomes valid the floor will not unlock until a user has successfully gained access. This prevents floors from unlocking on schedule on days when no one arrives.

  This feature requires destination reporting.

• Verify: With this option enabled the floor state will be checked every minute and updated to match the schedule. If the schedule is valid the floor will be unlocked. If the schedule is invalid the floor will be locked.

• Follow Area: When this option is enabled the floor will follow the status of the assigned Area. If the area is armed the floor will lock. If the area is disarmed the floor will unlock.

• Input: The input set here corresponds to the floor select button in the elevator car. This is a required setting for destination reporting. This field is not required if destination reporting is not in use.

• Output: The relay output set here corresponds to the floor select button in the elevator car. One output is required per controlled floor in every elevator car, but not for uncontrolled floors (always unlocked). This is required configuration for both basic control and destination reporting.

• Disarm Area: When this option is enabled the Area for this floor will be automatically disarmed whenever a user with sufficient permissions is granted access. In addition, if the area is armed and the user does not have sufficient permissions to disarm it the user will be denied access.
