1.2 Visitor Elevator Control
When a visitor calls a resident via the telephone entry system and the resident grants the visitor
access, data is sent from the telephone entry system to the 2348-010 elevator control board. Upon
receiving this data, the elevator control board will respond in two different manners depending on the
setting of SW2, switch 8.
1.2.1 Lobby Hall Call On
If SW2, switch 8 is in the OFF position, a "Lobby Hall Up Call" relay on the elevator control board will
activate and call the elevator to go to the lobby or ground floor. This is accomplished by wiring the
output of the lobby call relay in parallel to the ground floor button in the elevator electronics panel.
Once the elevator reaches the ground floor, a ground floor detect switch must signal the 2348-010
board that the elevator has arrived. This signal is in the form of a switch closure across terminals 17
and 18 and may be available from existing hardware in the elevator electronics panel. Once the
2348-010 board receives this elevator detect signal, the floor button that the resident who granted the
visitor access resides on, will become "live" for a period of time that has been set in the DoorKing
Remote Account Manager software. Only this floor button will work when the visitor enters the
elevator.
Using the lobby hall call feature is desirable in that the timer for the floor button does not become
active until the elevator reaches the lobby or ground floor. For example, if the timer was set in the
software to activate the floor button for one minute, the one minute timer will not start until the
elevator car reaches the ground floor. This would assure that there is ample time for the visitor to
walk to the elevator and press the respective floor button.
1.2.2 Lobby Hall Call Off
If SW2, switch 8 is in the ON position, the "Lobby Hall Up Call" relay on the 2348-010 board does not
operate. When the visitor is granted access, the floor button that the resident who granted the visitor
access resides on immediately becomes "live" for the period of time that has been programmed in the
software. In this mode, the 2348-010 board does not call the elevator to the lobby or ground floor.
This would require the visitor to press the elevator call button in the lobby to call the elevator to the
ground floor.
It is important to note that if the 2348-010 control board is used in this manner, the floor button in the
elevator car becomes "live" immediately after the visitor is granted access and the time period that
the button is "live" begins immediately. Because of this, the time period that the button is "live" must
be set for an adequate amount of time to allow the elevator to reach the ground floor from the highest
floor, and allow the visitor time to walk to the elevator. This time is set in the DoorKing Remote
Account Manager software.
