eSSL EC10‑EX16 Elevator Access Control System
The eSSL EC10‑EX16 elevator access control system is a modern, IP‑based solution that ensures only authorised users can reach the floors they are permitted to access. Designed for commercial and residential buildings, it combines biometric security, RFID card support and intelligent software to create a true smart‑building experience.
The eSSL EC10-EX16 elevator access control system prevents unauthorised elevator users from accessing pre‑defined restricted floors and is easy to integrate into new or existing buildings. The core EC10 controller manages up to 10 floors, and each expansion board (EX16) adds another 16 floors – one EC10 can support up to three EX16 boards, covering a total of 58 floors. For taller buildings, multiple EC10 panels can be daisy‑chained to manage as many floors as needed, making this the most scalable elevator access control system in its class.
🔑 Key Capabilities of the Elevator Access Control System
EC10 controls 10 built‑in floors. Add up to 3 EX16 modules (16 floors each) for a total of 58 floors. For even larger buildings, chain multiple EC10 controllers over Ethernet.
Users can authenticate via fingerprint (up to 3,000 templates), RFID card (up to 30,000 cards) or private PIN/password – choose the right level of security for your organisation.
Every floor access attempt is logged and can be monitored live via the security dashboard. Upload user access rights and track elevator usage in real time.
In the event of fire, emergency or power failure, the system automatically unlocks all floors, ensuring safe evacuation. Event logs are preserved through backup power.
Define time schedules per user or per group. For example, unrestricted access during business hours (“passage mode”) and strict permission‑based access outside those hours.
Manage all floors, users and schedules from the eSSL Bio Security 3.0.1.0_R software (supports PostgreSQL, MS SQL and Oracle databases). SDK also available for full integration.

🏢 Why choose the eSSL EC10‑EX16 elevator access control system?
Real‑time data transfer, remote management and seamless integration with your building’s existing IP network.
Assign specific floors to specific users or groups. A user who is authorised for floors 3 and 10 cannot call the elevator to floor 4 – complete granular control.
For developers and system integrators, the eSSL elevator access control system offers an SDK, making integration with hotel PMS, building management systems or access control platforms straightforward.
Combine fingerprint readers with card readers on the same elevator. Perfect for organisations that need fast daily access for staff (fingerprint) and temporary access for visitors (cards).
Hardware fire alarm inputs instantly override all floor relays, opening access for evacuation – no software configuration required.
Firmware updates can be performed remotely over the network, and the controller logs help diagnose any issue without costly onsite visits.
🏛️ Where to deploy the eSSL elevator access control system
- 🏢 Corporate office towers – grant marketing access to the 10th floor, finance to the 12th floor, and restrict external visitors to the lobby.
- 🏨 Hotels & resorts – guests receive elevator access keys limited to their assigned floor and public areas (spa, pool, restaurant).
- 🏥 Hospitals & medical facilities – staff can reach restricted floors (ICUs, surgery suites), while the general public is limited to the main reception and clinic floors.
- 🏢 Residential luxury condo towers – residents access their own floor, amenity floors, and parking level. Guests are escorted or given temporary card access.
- 🏙️ Mixed‑use commercial buildings – separate access rules for office tenants, retail stores and residential floors – all managed by a single elevator access control system.
💻 Effortless management – eSSL Bio Security 3.0.1.0_R
The eSSL EC10‑EX16 elevator access control system is fully managed by the eSSL Bio Security 3.0.1.0_R software. Administrators can:
- ✔ Enrol users via fingerprint, card or password – one user can have multiple credentials.
- ✔ Assign floor access privileges – define exactly which floors each user can call.
- ✔ Set time zones and holidays – automatically restrict access after hours or during weekends.
- ✔ Monitor elevator events in real time – see who accessed which floor and when.
- ✔ Run audit reports – perfect for compliance and security investigations.
Database support includes PostgreSQL, MS SQL and Oracle, giving you the flexibility to fit your organisation’s existing IT infrastructure.
🔌 Seamless HRMS & third‑party integration
Because the EC10‑EX16 logs all elevator events with timestamps and user ID, those logs can be exported (CSV, Excel) and fed into other business systems. eSSL Pune has deep experience linking elevator access logs with Spine, GreytHR, HROne, Zoho CRM, Candle, Saral, Oracle and other ERP platforms – unifying physical security and workforce management.
