ZKTeco EX16 16-Floor Elevator Relay Expansion Module

Extend your enterprise security strategy from the ground lobby all the way to the penthouse. The ZKTeco EX16 16-Floor Elevator Relay Expansion Module is an industrial-grade floor restriction board engineered to scale high-rise transit security. Operating as a dedicated downstream node, this high-density expansion panel allows security integrators to lock down floor selector buttons inside elevator cabs, ensuring passengers can only access the levels they are explicitly credentialed to reach.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the ZKTeco EC10 Elevator Control Panel, the EX16 communicates over a secure, daisy-chained RS485 master-slave bus pipeline. Armed with 16 independent, heavy-duty Form-C relays, this module acts as an intelligent bridge between credential verification data and physical elevator cabin electronics—delivering localized, low-latency floor mapping rules directly within your facility's centralized security management software.

Why Security Integrators & Property Managers Standardize on the EX16

• High-Density Floor Scaling: Features 16 onboard Form-C relay lines on a single board layout. Cascade multiple EX16 modules together via a single master EC10 controller to restrict and manage up to 58 floors simultaneously.
• Universal Relay Interfacing: Equipped with highly versatile Form-C dry contact relays (Common, Normally Open, Normally Closed). This standard configuration enables seamless integration with almost all major commercial elevator brand control strips and button assemblies.
• Secure Master-Slave Architecture: Communicates back to the master controller over a dedicated RS485 serial data line. This design allows the board to be installed deep within elevator motor rooms or secure utility shafts, far away from public tampering.
• Real-Time LED Diagnostic Array: Streamlines on-site troubleshooting and commissioning. Features a dedicated row of status LEDs that provide immediate visual feedback whenever a relay fires, a data packet transfers, or a power fluctuation occurs.
• Intelligent Fire & Emergency Override: Engineered with dedicated alarm linkages. When coupled with your master panel, it can automatically release all floor restrictions during a building fire alarm trigger, allowing unrestricted building evacuation routes.
• Robust Heavy-Duty Enclosure: Housed inside a rugged, lockable industrial metal chassis. The enclosure shields the delicate expansion circuitry from ambient electronic noise, dust, and unauthorized physical field-wiring modifications.

Enterprise Multi-Floor Transit Security Applications

The ZKTeco EX16 is the foundational hardware choice for vertical access restriction across complex infrastructure properties:

• Multi-Tenant Corporate Offices: Restrict private business floors, preventing competing corporations, unauthorized delivery personnel, or public visitors from wandering onto restricted corporate levels.
• Luxury High-Rise Condominiums: Ensure penthouse suites, private residential levels, and exclusive resident lounges remain completely private by requiring a valid card swipe, PIN, or biometric check inside the lift.
• Hospitals & Medical Centers: Secure sensitive maternity wings, surgical operating environments, private research facilities, and pharmaceutical storage levels against unauthorized foot traffic.
• Mixed-Use Commercial Hubs: Isolate public shopping concourses from restricted underground executive parking grids, loading docks, and back-of-house utility plant rooms.
