tart Guide
Keri has modified its PXL-500P Tiger Controller and SB-593 Satellite Board to tailor a system for
Proximity elevator control applications. The LC-502 Elevator Control Panel is made up of an LC-
500P Tiger Elevator Controller Board and an SB-500 Elevator Satellite Board, together in a
standard PXL-500 enclosure. The LC-508 Elevator Control Panel combines four LC-500 panels
with four SB-500 boards in a rugged enclosure.
The LC-502P provides two floor increments of elevator control at an economical price. Users can
mount a single MS Series Proximity Reader inside an elevator cab and connect it to up to 12 LC-
502Ps to control floor access for up to 24 floors. Used in conjunction with Doors software, this
combination can be a very cost-effective elevator control solution.
The LC-508P provides eight floors of elevator control in a small, integrated package. As with the
LC-502P, a single MS Series Proximity Reader is mounted inside an elevator cab and then is
connected to the LC-508P, providing controlled access for up to eight floors in a single enclosure.
Any combination of LC-502Ps and LC-508Ps may be combined to control greater than eight floors.
Check with local authorities when installing Elevator Control panels. Your elevator
control application must meet all local and national safety codes. The Main or
Lobby Floor cannot have access control applied – all people must be able to exit the
elevator at all times on at least one common, ground-level access floor.
1.0 Important Considerations
To ensure proper operation, the following considerations apply when using Doors software for
elevator control.
• Up to 24 floors can be controlled using any combination of LC-502Ps and LC-508Ps.
• One reader in the elevator cab controls access for all floors. This reader is attached to all
antenna inputs at all controllers in the elevator control system. This wiring scheme results in the
one reader being responsible for access requests for all floors. Since the reader’s signal is being
shared between multiple controller antenna inputs the reader's read range is reduced, possibly
up to 25%.
• User card presentation to the reader is critical. To ensure that all controllers have the opportunity
to respond to a presented card, the card must be presented to the reader for a greater period of
time – up to 2 seconds depending upon the length of the cable run and the number of controllers
attached to the network. This allows all antenna inputs on all controllers the time necessary to
respond to the card. If a card is not presented correctly, controllers that have not recognized the
card will not allow access to the floors they control.
• The reader's LED and beeper are used to indicate correct card presentation only, and does not
indicate if all controllers have recognized the card or if access has been granted or denied (as
done by a standard PXL-500 Tiger Controller).
