Special features menu

Code	Parameter name	Parameter description
	Reset Direction	Direction of travel during the reset procedure
	Traveling limits in inspection	(Only for magnetic readers positioning system) Defines the travelling limits during inspection mode. If set on “Beyond AGB/AGH”, the controller does not allow any movement beyond top/bottom floors.
	Fire-fighters Operations	For lifts that include the Fire-Fighter Operation, this multiple parameter defines the type of fire fire operation and the related settings for each floor (recall side, type of POM and CPOM key contacts).
	Fire detection	Parameter for fire detection at floors. if the lift is at a different floor than the one where fire was detected, all registered calls from/to this floor are cancelled; if the lift is at the floor where fire was detected, the controller blocks door opening, closes doors (if open upon fire detection) and sends the car to a safe floor
	Stop button registration	The system registers the out of service mode (pressure of STOP button). It is also possible to set the delay to avoid simultaneous movement in installations powered with a generator.
	EN 81-20	Parameter that configures the system according to the EN 81-20 standard. If set to “YES” the following are enabled: the inspection button panel from the bottom of the pit; the access control in the pit; the control of the presence of the UCM; the monitor of the second contact of the cabin doors; the door photocell with NC (normally closed) contact
	Anti-nuisance option	Option that limits unauthorized activations. The value defines the maximum number of stops without cutting the photocell (for automatic doors) or opening the door (manual) beyond which all calls from the cabin are cancelled
	Out of Service floor	Destination floor for Lift out of service (HS input activated).
	Automatic return to floor	Multiple parameter for the Automatic Return to Floor manouever. Defines the return flow and the minimum waiting time before activation of the automatic return
	Return zones	Advanced settings for return at floor at planned hours / days: -) Day (0 = everyday, 1 = monday … 7 = sunday); -) Selected time interval (4 interval each day); -) Return floor; -) Start time; -) End time (max time: 7h 45 min);

	Call erasing at floor	Cancellation of calls to the floor where the cabin stops, without checking the direction of travel (option valid only for full collective operation)
	Drift control (France)	Drift control (NF P82-212)
	Cabin call access code / Penthouse	Allows you to define a 4-digit code to enable a cabin call. This option can be enabled for every floor, identified by the labels BC0…BC27. See the “Access Protection” page on DIDO for operating details. Note: Entering the code “0 _ _ _ ” enables the PentHouse function for that floor.
	Machine room temperature check	Enables the control of the ambient temperature in the machine room through the relative sensor (if present). If the temperature goes outside the minimum and maximum thresholds set for a time greater than 30 seconds, the system stops at a floor and error 39 “”Ambient temperature”” appears. In addition to setting the two thresholds, it is necessary to set the ambient temperature, confirming or modifying the one detected. Note: The control is active only in normal operation or Cabin priority.
	Automatic Calls	Enables an automatic test mode that simulates up to 120 calls at programmable intervals between 10 s and 60 s. It is also possible to enable or disable the door opening (if enabled, the system will also accept floor calls while still simulating scheduled calls). The function is automatically terminated when the system is turned off and/or the system is put in Inspection mode
	Monitor UCM	UCMP Management Solution
	UCM	Installation type 81-1 / 81-20 / 81-21 Shaft access procedure and Protections.
	Forced Stop	Parameter that defines a floor as forced. If activated, the system will stop at that floor at each passage.
	Protected floor	Parameter that defines a floor as protected in combination with the “Live+” function. Upon arrival at the protected floor, the doors open only with explicit consent (pressing the door opener button), otherwise the system returns to the previous floor.
	LOP Priority	Enables the floor priority call function. Needs the Pitagora 16 I/O card (or keyswitch input from floor BDU)
	Enable floor	Call enabling function (e.g. CARD Reader). Requires the auxiliary 16 I/O card. Type 1: LOP enable: to enable calls, the corresponding input of the 16 I/O card must be closed. Type 2: COP enabling To enable calls, the corresponding input of the 16 I/O card must be closed Type 3: Enable COP + LOP: to enable calls, the corresponding input of the 16 I/O card must be closed (disabling the floor)
	Shaft Protection	Enables the shaft access protection circuit (EN81-20)
	Integrated Load Weighing	Enable the built-in load weighing function. Requires a calibration procedure (Test 22)
