Akuvox EC32 TCP/IP Elevator Lift Access Controller

Akuvox EC32 TCP/IP Elevator Lift Access Controller

The Akuvox EC32 is a network-based lift controller built for buildings that need to restrict elevator access by floor. Using standard TCP/IP over a 10/100M connection, it links directly to a PC or building management network without the device-quantity restrictions common on older serial-based systems. It is designed to work seamlessly with Akuvox door phones and intercoms, making it a natural fit for apartment blocks, offices and mixed-use developments already running Akuvox access hardware.

Key Features

• 32-bit processor for fast, stable handling of floor-access commands
• TCP/IP connectivity over 10/100M Ethernet with no limit on the number of connected devices
• Large onboard memory supporting up to 120,000 card holders and 200,000 event logs
• 32 relay outputs per panel, expandable to 64 outputs using an additional expansion panel
• One RS485 port dedicated to connecting the expansion panel
• Built-in Wiegand 26/34-bit reader support for card-based floor authentication
• Emergency Fire Alarm door-release input for safe evacuation compliance
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, suitable for plant rooms and lift shafts
• Low-power DC 12V @ 300mA operation

Typical Applications

The EC32 is intended for multi-storey residential towers, strata buildings, commercial offices and hotels where building managers need to restrict which floors a resident, tenant or visitor can reach. Paired with an Akuvox door phone or card reader in the lift car, it authenticates a resident's credential and unlocks only their permitted floor button, while still allowing an override for fire alarm conditions. Because a single controller can expand to 64 outputs, it scales from smaller buildings up to larger towers using one or two expansion panels rather than a full controller upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EC32 control more than 32 floors?
Yes. Each controller panel supports 32 outputs and can be paired with an expansion panel via RS485 to reach 64 outputs in total.

Does the EC32 work with existing Akuvox intercoms?
Yes, it is designed to integrate with Akuvox door phones over the network, allowing residents to authenticate at the door station and have their floor released automatically in the lift.

What happens during a fire alarm?
The EC32 includes a dedicated emergency door-release input that can be linked to the building's fire alarm system to release lift access as required during an emergency.
