eSSL EC-20M / EC-20K – Complete Elevator Access Control System
The eSSL EC‑20M / EC‑20K elevator access control solution delivers secure, floor‑wise access management for multi‑storey buildings. The EC‑20M main controller (20 floors / 20,000 cards / 100k events) can be expanded with EC‑20K extension boards – up to 60 floors total. Full TCP/IP networking, fire‑alarm input, Wiegand reader support and centralised management make it the ideal choice for hotels, residential towers, corporate offices and hospitals.
The eSSL EC‑20M / EC‑20K elevator access control system is a modern, IP‑based solution designed to manage who can access which floor in a building. The EC‑20M main controller supports up to 20 floors natively; when paired with up to two EC‑20K expansion boards, you can control up to 60 floors from a single controller. All floor access decisions are made in real time, logged, and can be managed centrally over TCP/IP.
🔑 Core Elevator Access Control Capabilities
✅ Flexible Floor Capacity
EC‑20M handles 20 floors natively. Add one or two EC‑20K boards to reach 40 or 60 floors – perfect for mid‑ to high‑rise buildings.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Elevator Access Control
What is included in the eSSL EC‑20M / EC‑20K elevator access control system?
The system consists of the EC‑20M main controller (supports up to 20 floors, 20,000 cards, 100,000 events) and optional EC‑20K expansion boards (each adds 20 extra floor outputs, up to 2 boards per controller). It works with Wiegand 26/34 card or biometric readers and communicates via TCP/IP for real‑time central management.
How many floors can the EC‑20M + EC‑20K elevator access control system handle?
The EC‑20M main controller handles up to 20 floors natively. Each EC‑20K expansion board adds 20 more floor outputs. One EC‑20M supports up to two EC‑20K boards, giving a total of 60 floors. Taller buildings can integrate multiple EC‑20M controllers on the same network.
What authentication methods does the EC‑20M support?
The EC‑20M includes one Wiegand 26/34 input port, so you can connect virtually any card reader, biometric reader (fingerprint, face recognition) or keypad. This gives you complete flexibility to choose the right credential for your building.
Does the system store access records during a power cut?
Yes. The controller uses high‑speed non‑volatile memory that retains all card data and the 100,000‑event transaction log even when the power is interrupted. Once power is restored, normal operation resumes with no data loss.
Can the elevator access control be integrated with a fire alarm system?
Absolutely. The EC‑20M has a dedicated fire signal input. When the building fire alarm is triggered, the controller can be configured to override all floor access restrictions, freeing all elevators for emergency evacuation.
