ELEVATOR RECALL (RESTRICTION) FEATURE
GENERAL OPERATION
Elevator-Recall (Restriction) is now a standard feature which has been implemented in the 9501A/NSL system.
The feature operates as such: a visitor calls a resident, is then allowed entrance at which point the entry door is
opened and the floor relay is activated. When the visitor gets on the elevator, he can only access the floor of the
resident. This feature is supported from both the Lobby as well as remote door points-of-access. The feature
operates by allowing the installer to (indirectly) associate the first two digits of the Resident/Tenant Code which a
visitor would enter on the lobby keypad (i.e. when trying to call a Resident Suite), with an elevator recall
(restriction) relay number. This reserved relay will be activated only after a Resident makes the decision to allow
the visitor access to the building (i.e. when the Resident presses the digit which has been programmed to activate
the main/remote door latch), so that the main/remote door latch and elevator recall relay are activated at the same
time and for the same length of time. We suggest a separate timer be used for each elevator floor relay.
The first two digits of the Resident/Tenant Code allow for a (theoretical) range from 01-95 relays to be reserved for
this purpose. For example, the code “1201" and “1215' would both activate the same reserved relay. For the
purposes of the Elevator-Recall (Restriction) functionality, it is assumed that both Resident/Tenant Codes (i.e.
1201 and 1215) would be assigned to Residents on the same (i.e. 12th) floor. Thus, a maximum of 95 possible
relays (each assigned to a separate floor) can be accessed in this manner.
These elevator recall (restriction) relays can only be allocated from the last relay-cabinet in the NSL system (the
maximum number of relay cabinets is 16). If sixteen relay cabinets are not used, but Elevator-Recall (Restriction)
is required, then jumper the last relay cabinet (whatever it may be i.e. the fifth, sixth etc.) as if it were the sixteenth
cabinet. The jumper is placed in the 16th location, refer to Figure 6 for location. The very last relay in this cabinet
is however NOT available, as it is always reserved for use by the 9501A system.
NOTE: To have Elevator-Recall Restriction use Model 9512E Elevator-Recall Cards mounted in a 9508 8 Relay
Card Cabinet.
Elevator-Recall (Restriction) is available with single and multiple entrances and are programmed accordingly.
1. SINGLE ENTRANCE - ELEVATOR-Recall (Restriction)
At the 9501A, relays are programmed to activate in association with a specific Resident/Tenant Code. Refer to
Appendix D-1 and Programming Instructions in this manual. Only the relays in the last relay cabinet may be
programmed as Elevator-Recall (Restriction) relays.
For example: A single entrance system consists of a 9501A and 3 relay cabinets. The last relay cabinet may be
used as Elevator-Recall (Restriction) relays using the Model 9512E Elevator-Recall Cards (maximum 8 cards in
the cabinet). Therefore it is recommended to associate all residents on the same floor with one Elevator-Recall
(Restriction) relay. Sample programming at the 9501A would be as such:
Elevator-Recall (Restriction) Relay
Resident/Tenant Code (the last relay cabinet)
1201 12
1202 12
1203 12
1301 13
Looking at the information above, the first two digits of the Resident/Tenant Code represents the resident’s floor.
Therefore all residents on the twelfth floor activate the same Elevator-Recall (Restriction) relay number 12 on the
first relay Model 9512E Elevator-Recall Relay Card in the last relay cabinet.
