Akuvox EC33 IP Elevator Lift Access Controller

Akuvox EC33 IP Elevator Lift Access Controller

The Akuvox EC33 is a network-based lift controller that adds smart access control to elevators in apartment buildings, offices and other multi-tenant properties. It works over standard Ethernet and communicates with Akuvox intercoms and access terminals using simple HTTP commands, letting residents or staff reach their authorised floor only after their credential has been verified. Because floor access is tied directly to identity, building managers can stop unauthorised visitors or outsiders from riding to restricted levels while still giving residents fast, hands-free lift access.

Key Features

• IP-based control via 10/100M Ethernet for straightforward integration into an existing building network
• 32 relay outputs as standard, expandable to 64 outputs with an additional expansion board for larger buildings
• Large on-board storage for up to 20,000 cardholders and 100,000 access event logs
• Wiegand 26/34 support for connecting third-party RFID card readers inside the lift car
• Fire alarm input that can trigger emergency door release or restore normal elevator operation during an alarm event
• Daily elevator command scheduling to automate floor access permissions by time of day
• Two floor-access modes: direct dispatch to an authorised floor after authentication, or button release that lets the user pick from their allowed floors
• Akuvox Cloud compatible for remote configuration, monitoring and firmware management
• Broad compatibility with Akuvox intercoms and access control terminals, including face recognition and card-based devices

Where It's Used

The EC33 is designed for multifamily residential towers, strata and body corporate buildings, and commercial office blocks where property managers need to restrict lift access by floor. Paired with an Akuvox door station or access terminal at the building entrance, it lets a resident's credential automatically unlock only their designated floor button, or send the lift directly to that level without any button press. This is particularly useful for high-traffic lobbies, staff-only floors, or buildings wanting to reduce unauthorised access to tenant levels.
