Akuvox EC33 is an IP lift controller that limits each card to its own floors. 32 relay outputs, expandable to 128 with an expansion controller, connect to the lift’s floor buttons; a Wiegand reader in the car takes cards, and Akuvox intercoms can call the lift over the network. Mains or PoE powered.

Card-controlled lift access.
The AK-EC33 is Akuvox’s EC33: an IP lift controller in a lockable metal cabinet. It wires to the lift’s floor buttons and decides which floors each resident or visitor may select — from a card in the car, or a command sent from an Akuvox door phone or indoor monitor.
This SKU is the lift controller only.
You receive the EC33 in its metal cabinet. The in-car card reader, expansion controller and lift interface wiring are sold or arranged separately.

Secure floors without a guard in the lobby.
Residents tap a card and only their floor and common areas can be pressed. When a visitor is let in at the door, the Akuvox system can send the lift a command for the right floor.

Outputs
32 floors, expandable to 128.
Each of the 32 relay outputs enables one floor button. An Akuvox expansion controller on the RS485 port takes the system to 128 outputs.
Wiegand 26 / 34 connects the card reader in the lift car. It stores 20,000 cards and 100,000 log entries.
Access
Card in the car, floors on the panel.
A resident presents a card to the reader in the car and only their permitted floors become available.
Akuvox door phones and indoor monitors talk to the EC33 with HTTP commands, so letting in a visitor can also send the lift to the right floor. Akuvox Cloud is supported.

Safety
A fire alarm input built in.
The fire alarm input can trigger emergency release or normal lift commands, so the lift behaves as required during an alarm.
Power from 100–240 V AC or IEEE 802.3af PoE, rated 10 W or less. The 320 × 270 × 75 mm cabinet locks with a key.
How it works
From lift car to managed floors.
01
Mount
Fix the cabinet in the lift motor room or a riser, and connect mains or PoE.
02
Wire the lift
The lift contractor connects each relay to a floor button circuit; wire the in-car Wiegand reader.
03
Program floors
Assign floors to cards and link door phones and indoor monitors in the web portal or Akuvox Cloud.
04
Test
Present cards, test calls from the door, and confirm the fire alarm input behaviour.

Akuvox door phones and indoor monitors
Akuvox devices send HTTP commands over the network, so a visitor let in at the door can be given access to the resident’s floor.
Akuvox Cloud (SmartPlus)
Assign floors to residents and manage the lift controller remotely; Akuvox’s setup video on this page walks through it.
Wiegand card readers
Any Wiegand 26 or 34-bit reader in the lift car, such as the Akuvox CRP11 or an A01 in reader mode, identifies each user.
Building fire alarm

Answers
Common questions
How many floors can it control?
Each controller has 32 relay outputs, one per floor button, and an expansion controller on RS485 takes it to 128 outputs.
Which Akuvox devices does it work with?
Akuvox door phones, indoor monitors and access terminals send it HTTP commands over the network, so a resident’s call or card can select the right floor.
Does it include the reader for the lift car?
No. Add a Wiegand 26 / 34 reader such as the Akuvox CRP11, or an Akuvox A01 in reader mode.
How many cards does it hold?
Up to 20,000 cards, with 100,000 log entries.
What happens in a fire alarm?
The fire alarm input can trigger emergency release or normal lift commands, as set up on site.
How is it powered?
From 100–240 V AC (connected by a licensed electrician) or IEEE 802.3af PoE. It draws 10 W or less.
Who connects it to the lift?
The lift contractor should wire the relays into the floor button circuits. Akuvox’s videos on this page show single-car and two-car layouts and the cloud setup.
What is the difference between EC33 and EC33P?
Same controller features. The EC33 is a 320 × 270 × 75 mm lockable metal cabinet with a mains or PoE input; the EC33P is a 292 × 156 × 32 mm module powered by 12 V DC or PoE.
Floor-by-floor control.
Choose the EC33 for apartment and office lifts where you want the controller in a lockable cabinet. The EC33P is the same controller as a compact module powered by 12 V DC or PoE.
Installation & safety notice
Mains-powered equipment. The EC33 (when not powered by PoE) takes 100–240 V AC directly, so the mains connection must be made by a licensed electrician. Concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and must be installed by an ACMA-registered cabler. Electric locks and lock power supplies may require a licensed electrician or security installer. Connections to the lift’s controls should be made by the lift contractor.
