Introduction
The P3 Lift Controllers are available as either 2 floor, 2 shaft controllers (3007-2F) or 4 floor, 2 shaft controllers (3007-4F).
The lift controllers can be added to an existing P3 system allowing for lift access to be controlled with a single reader in
the lift cab. The reader in the lift cab is wired in parallel to each of the lift controllers. The relays are triggered on the
relevant controllers when a valid credential transaction takes place at the reader. These relays are used to interact with
the lift control panel which in turn allows the user to press the button for the floor that access was granted for.
Access must be set up using the access level functions of the P3 software, Doors Enterprise. It is therefore necessary to
network the controllers back to the PC running Doors Enterprise. This can be achieved by either creating a new
connection or by utilising a RS485 cable run of an existing P3 connector. Each lift controller circuit board has its own
unique controller ID number and is treat in exactly the same way as a standard P3 Door Controller. Simply add the
controller ID number in to Doors Enterprise when adding the controllers on to the system. The system treats the lift
controllers as doors. Once added simply add the controllers on to the relevant access levels as required.
Two shafts can be controlled from a single controller by setting the individual controllers to “turnstile” mode. This is a
feature of P3 which allows the two relays on the controller to operate independently of each other. Valid Reader A
transactions trigger the main lock relay whilst valid Reader B transactions trigger Relay B. Therefore, if the building has
two lifts in two shafts, the reader from the lift cab in shaft A can be wired back to the Reader A terminals whilst the reader
in the cab of shaft B can be wired back to the Reader B terminals of the lift controllers. Note that the main relay marked
as “lock” on the lift controller is a powered relay and that another relay may be required to switch this to clean contact for
integration with the lift control panel (check to see what the lift control panel requires).
Additional Equipment Required
12V DC PSU (the Progeny 2071 is suitable)
If using the controllers to operate two shafts then another relay will be required per lift controller circuit board to
switch the “lock” relay from powered to clean contact.
Suitable screened cable to allow the reader to connect to the lift controllers from the lift cab
