Manual operations on elevator doors
This dialog allows an authorized operator to manually lock, unlock or temporarily unlock elevator floors. The window also displays, in real time, the status of the selected elevator door or doors.
- The cardholder pushes an up/down button, the elevator door opens.
- The cardholder presents its card at the reader (usually inside the cab).
- The system checks if the schedule assigned to this door is valid. If yes, the system checks which floor group is associated to this door.
- Then the system verifies each floor of the floor group (in the floor group menu) and checks if the schedule associated to each floor of the group is valid or not valid.
- Only floors that have a valid schedule are available for selection by the user (the
elevator panel enables the buttons corresponding to the floors).
