ZKTeco EC16 and DEX16 Elevator Access Control Panel and Expansion Board

Overview

The ZKTeco EC16 is a lift control panel that lets each person reach only the floors they are allowed to, so a tenant in an office tower or an apartment block cannot ride to someone else’s floor. One EC16 controls 16 floors, and up to seven DEX16 expansion boards take it to 128 floors. It suits offices, residential towers and mixed use buildings, and works with fingerprint, card, QR code or face readers at the lift lobby.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a building with up to 16 floors on one panel, or up to 128 floors with seven DEX16 boards.
• It needs a reader at the lift lobby or in the car; the panel itself has no reader.
• Fingerprint and card verification work directly on the panel; dynamic QR code and face verification need the panel to run under ZKBio CVSecurity.
• It is for indoor use, rated -20 to 55 °C.

Key features

• Controls 16 floors per EC16 through 16 dual relays that drive the lift button panel directly; each DEX16 adds 16 more, up to 7 boards and 128 floors.
• Fingerprint and RFID card verification over a direct RS485 connection to the panel.
• Dynamic QR code and face verification when the panel runs under ZKBio CVSecurity.
• Stores 30,000 fingerprints, 100,000 cards and 200,000 transactions.
• Multi-time schedules limit which users may select which floors at which times, and direct access sends a passenger to their assigned floor once verified.
• Ports: 2 TCP/IP, 2 Wiegand (26, 34 or 66-bit), 1 RS485 (OSDP), 1 RS485 for expansion boards, open and close inputs, auxiliary input and output, fire and emergency inputs, LED output and USB 2.0.
• AES256, HTTPS and TLS1.2 encryption; ZKTeco A and C Push protocols; RS485 address set by DIP switch.
• Board sizes: EC16 165 x 230 mm, DEX16 165 x 160 mm.

What else you need

A 12 V DC 3 A supply for the EC16 and a 12 V DC 1 A supply for each DEX16; power is not included. A credential reader at the lobby: QR500/600 Series QR code readers and KF1100/1200 face terminals are the named devices, with Wiegand and RS485 (OSDP) inputs for card and fingerprint readers. A network connection and ZKBio CVSecurity for management.

Installation

A lift or access control installer should fit it, working with the lift company. The job involves wiring the 16 dual relays into the lift button panel, connecting the reader, the fire and emergency inputs and the network, then setting floor schedules and users in ZKBio CVSecurity. For a quote, tell us the number of floors served, the lift make and button panel wiring, and which credentials you want at the lobby.

Software and licences

ZKBio CVSecurity is the supported software and is needed for dynamic QR code and face verification. The panel communicates on the ZKTeco A and C Push protocols.

Before you buy

• Power is not included: the EC16 needs 12 V DC 3 A and each DEX16 needs 12 V DC 1 A.
• A voice output is announced by the manufacturer but not yet available.
• Tell us the floor count, lift make, button panel wiring and lobby credentials when you request a quote.
