Access control applications 
EST3 Installation and Service Manual  3.21 
Elevator control 
Description of the application 
An access control system can determine which floors are 
available to a given cardholder. This application is shown in 
Figure 3-6. 
A CRC and independent power source are installed in the 
elevator cab. When a cardholder presents his card it is processed 
by the CRC. If valid, the CRC sends an access granted event and 
a command list request to the CPU via the 3-SAC. 
The command list operates the Signature relay modules attached 
to the Signature Controller module. The relays are connected to 
the elevator controller, and turn on or off access to the correct 
floors, according to the cardholder’s access level privileges. 
The command list includes timing, so the cardholder has a 
limited window of opportunity during which he can press the 
desired floor button. After the time has lapsed, he must present 
his card again. 
Note: This application must be used only for floor access, and 
not for elevator control.
