Unlocking Floors from Elevator Doors

  1. Select an elevator door or a group of elevator doors.
  2. Click the Unlock elevator floors button in the toolbar to unlock a previously locked floor. This command will only enable the elevator floors that are defined with an “X” in the “” column of the Floor group Definition menu. If you do this, the system will prompt the you to select a floor group that should be unlocked (available). Once the group is selected, the system will prompt the operator to confirm the operation.
    Note: For a door defined with an “automatic unlocking schedule”, floors will remain available until the next valid change of the unlocking schedule, or an operator manually locks the door.

    A door defined without an unlocking schedule will only be locked by a manual command. To lock all floors that were previously unlocked, use the Unlock option in the Manual operation on doors menu.

    When a manual unlocking operation is completed, only floors that are defined with an “X” in the “” field of the Floor Group Definition menu will be available for selection. Also, when communication is lost and the controllers are working in stand-alone mode, only the floors marked with an “X” will be available for selection and the access schedule will be ignored.
