Defining readers
Required for:
• Reader/DO Configuration
• Reader/DI/DO Configuration
Use the Reader form to define the reader type as Elevator for each reader used with an elevator in
the Picture Perfect system. See Defining readers on page 175.
Defining outputs
Use the Output form to define a digital output for each elevator floor button. This output lights and
activates the button for a floor to which access is allowed. For more information, see Defining outputs
on page 152.
Keep the following in mind when defining elevator floor outputs:
• At least one 16-digital-output (16 DO/DOR) board must be configured with an elevator micro.
• The elevator digital-output addresses must be in the 16 to 31 range for each 16 DO/DOR
board used.
• For a maximum configuration (64 floors), four 16 DO/DOR boards must be installed in a
Micro/5.
• The duration time should be the same for all elevator digital outputs.
Note:
In a Reader/DI/DO configuration, make sure the Reader Interval Time does not exceed the Output (DO)
Duration.
• Elevator digital outputs do not require output groups to be associated with them.
Defining inputs

by the micro, it performs a category match and if successful, activates the associated output for a

Keep the following in mind when defining elevator floor inputs:
• Toggle the Elevator Point button to On to make this input an elevator input.
• At least one 20DI board must be configured with an elevator configured to have the Reader/
DI/DO configuration.
• For a maximum configuration (39 floors), an 8RP reader configured to be an elevator reader,
two 20DI boards and two 16DO boards must be installed in a Micro/5.
• Elevator DI’s do not require an input group to be associated with them.
Elevators form
Use the Elevators form to select the type of elevator configuration, define the number of floors,
assign the elevator to a previously defined elevator micro or reader and then tie previously defined
