1. Introduction
An elevator controller (comprising elevator reader and one or more relay modules)
can be used for controlling up to 128 outputs; elevator reader relays. For each elevator
reader relay, a room interval is set up, e.g. the guest rooms on a certain floor.
· The elevator reader can in the online case be connected to an RS-485 gateway
(including 8 outputs) and up to 15 relay modules (each with 8 outputs).
· In the offline case the elevator reader can be connected to up to 16 relay modules;
each with 8 outputs.
The elevator reader gives a
· green LED signal when a valid card is presented at the reader
· a red LED signal when an invalid card is presented at the reader
In certain situations yellow LED signals are given, e.g. if one or more user groups are
blocked from the elevator reader. For detailed information about different LED signals,
see the appendix about LEDs and sound signals in User Manual VISIONLINE.
Note: There are no sound signals in the elevator reader.
The elevator reader is connected to an interface board (PCB Assembly 3016);
see details in sections 3.1 and 3.2.

2.5 Relay module
It is recommended to purchase the relay module together with a rack for mounting
with or without DIN rail. The mounting rack is delivered with Weidmüller gables AP
80 D, see Figure 6 below. The rack is available in two lengths:
· 100 mm (3 15/16;); mounting rack for 1 relay module (Art. No 866 438)
· 400 mm (15 3/4;); mounting rack for 2-4 relay modules (Art. No 866 439)
For mounting on a standard 35 mm (1 7/16;) DIN rail, two Weidmüller clips RF 180
are required (see Figure 7 below; the clips are enclosed with the mounting rack).
Note: The DIN rail is not supplied from VingCard.
The relay module is 75 mm (3;) high with mounting rack and DIN rail,
and 52 mm (2 1/16;) with mounting rack only.

AP 80 D gables. The rack can be fastened with
or without DIN rail.

relay modules can be fastened on
a standard DIN rail.

3. Electrical specification
· 24VDC
· The maximum current consumption for the elevator reader is 600 mA continuously.
· The maximum current consumption for each relay module is 100 mA continuously.
· The maximum current consumption for the RS-485 gateway is 200 mA continuously.
· To decide the required capacity of power supply/UPS, add the power consumption of:
- elevator reader
- RS-485 gateway; if applicable
- all relay modules; if applicable
- all external connected equipment, e.g. electric door strike or motor lock; if applicable
· The elevator reader can in the online case be connected to an RS-485 gateway (including
8 outputs) and up to 15 relay modules (each with 8 outputs). In the offline case the
elevator reader can be connected to up to 16 relay modules; each with 8 outputs.
This gives a maximum of 128 outputs both in the online case and the offline case.
· The electrical standard for the serial interface connecting the different modules is RS-485.
· If the distance between the reader and the RS-485 gateway or first relay module is more
than 20 m/21.8 yds, the cable should be shielded. The shield should be connected to
protective ground at one end.
· The maximum recommended TP (twisted pair) cable length between elevator reader and
the relay modules (or between elevator reader and RS-485 gateway, if no relay modules
are used) is 500 m/546.8 yds. See sections 3.4.1-3.4.4 for details about the different
configurations with RS-485 gateway and/or relay modules.
· Important: The maximum load is NOT the same for a relay output on the RS-485
gateway, a relay output on the interface board connector and a relay output on
a relay module; see below.
Maximum load for each relay output on an RS-485 gateway:
30V AC/DC / 600mA peak
Maximum load for the relay output on the interface board connector:
0,4A @125VAC or 2A @30VDC resistive
Maximum load for each relay output on a relay module:
0,5A @125VAC or 2A @30VDC resistive
