Arkel FX-SERI32 Serial Communication Board (High-Rise for ARL-300)
Optimize high-rise ARL-300 installations with the Arkel FX-SERI32 Communication Board. Supports up to 24 stops, reduces shaft cabling to just 2 wires, and offers programmable Gray/Binary outputs for cabin displays.
- Extended Capacity: Specifically engineered for ARL-300 systems requiring between 16 and 24 stops, bridging the gap where standard cards fall short,.
- Minimal Cabling: Transmits all critical cabin signals (calls, displays, overload, door commands) over a simple 2-wire interface, eliminating massive parallel cable bundles in the traveling cable.
- Programmable Outputs: Features digital outputs (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) that can be configured via the ARL-300 menu to support 7-Segment, Gray Code, Binary Code, or their inverted equivalents for display versatility,.
- Full Signal Integration: Manages car calls, floor displays, direction arrows, gong signals, cabin lighting, and automatic door open/close commands through a single serial line.
- Dual-End Configuration: Designed for systems where serial communication is required at both the control panel (Machine Room) and the inspection box (Car Top) for extended travel heights.
Guaranteed Safe Checkout
The Arkel FX-SERI32 is a specialized serial communication interface designed exclusively for the ARL-300 elevator control system. Developed for buildings exceeding 16 stops, this unit extends the capacity of the control system up to 24 stops. By converting parallel signals into a robust 2-wire serial stream, it drastically reduces the cabling complexity between the machine room control panel and the elevator car, ensuring reliable signal transmission for buttons, indicators, and safety functions.

Product Description
The Arkel FX-SERI32 solves the complex wiring challenges faced in mid-to-high-rise buildings using the ARL-300 controller. In standard parallel wiring, every additional floor requires multiple new wires traveling from the machine room to the moving car. For buildings with more than 16 floors, this results in heavy, expensive, and fragile traveling cables.
Engineering for Efficiency: The FX-SERI32 creates a digital bridge. In a typical high-rise application (over 16 floors), one unit is mounted in the Main Control Panel to handle landing calls, and a second unit is mounted in the Car Top Inspection Box (Revizyon Kutusu) to handle car buttons and indicators. These two units communicate seamlessly over just two wires.
Versatile Display Support: Unlike basic serial boards, the FX-SERI32 offers advanced flexibility for car displays. The on-board digital outputs can be programmed directly from the ARL-300 mainboard menu. This allows technicians to drive various 7-segment, Gray code, or Binary code displays without needing separate decoder cards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: When is the FX-SERI32 required instead of the standard FX-SERI?
The standard FX-SERI card supports up to 16 stops. The FX-SERI32 is mandatory for ARL-300 systems that serve more than 16 stops, supporting up to a maximum of 24 stops.
Q2: Can I use this card with other Arkel controllers like the ARL-200S?
No. While the standard FX-SERI works with ARL-200S, the FX-SERI32 is specifically designed for the ARL-300 system due to the extended floor counting and specific menu configuration requirements.
Q3: What signals does this card transmit?
It transmits almost all necessary cabin signals including: Car call buttons, digital floor indicators, direction arrows, overload/full load signals, gong triggers, cabin lamp control, and automatic door open/close commands.
Q4: How do I configure the display outputs (Gray/Binary)?
You do not need to change jumpers on the card for output types. The output format (Gray, Binary, 7-Segment, etc.) is selected digitally through the ARL-300 main controller’s menu interface, which then instructs the FX-SERI32 how to drive its outputs.
