The ZKTeco EX16 Elevator Floor Extension Board is designed to enhance elevator access control systems by providing the capability to manage access to an additional sixteen floors. When integrated with the EC10 Elevator Control Panel, which independently controls up to ten floors, a single EC10 can support up to three EX16 boards, collectively managing access to a total of fifty-eight floors. This modular approach offers a scalable solution for buildings with extensive vertical infrastructures. It allows for precise access control, ensuring that only authorized personnel can reach specific floors. The system is ideal for commercial buildings, residential complexes, and other facilities requiring secure and efficient elevator access management.
Communication between the EX16 board and the EC10 panel is facilitated via RS485, ensuring reliable data transmission. The EX16 is equipped with sixteen floor button control relays and operates on a 12V DC 1A power supply. Its compact dimensions of 160mm by 106mm and a net weight of 0.2kg allow for flexible installation within various control system configurations. This makes it a practical addition to any existing elevator control infrastructure, as it seamlessly integrates without occupying significant space. The board’s high compatibility and ease of installation make it a preferred choice for upgrading security in multi-floor buildings.
The EX16 supports multiple user credential options, including fingerprints, proximity cards, and passwords, allowing for versatile access management tailored to specific security requirements. Pre-defined time schedules can be implemented to control floor access, and during standard business hours, unrestricted access (passage mode) can be enabled to facilitate smooth operations. For software developers aiming to integrate this system into broader security frameworks, a Software Development Kit (SDK) is available, enhancing the adaptability and integration potential of the EX16 within diverse building management systems. Its advanced access control features help improve both security and efficiency, making it an essential component of modern elevator management solutions.
