What Components Make Up an Elevator Call Box?
In an elevator system, the elevator call box serves as the first point of interaction between passengers and the elevator. It not only sends call signals but also handles display, indication, and communication functions.
As elevators become more intelligent, call box structures and components continue to evolve for higher efficiency and smarter operation.
So, what exactly are the main parts that make up a complete elevator call box?
Here’s a detailed breakdown from A-FLY Elevator & Escalator Parts Supplier.
1. Basic Components of an Elevator Call Box
An elevator call box is typically installed on the wall outside each elevator landing to allow passengers to call the elevator.
Its internal structure consists of several key components:
The push button is the primary control device for passengers to call the elevator. It transmits the “up” or “down” signal to the elevator control system.
Modern buttons come in many types — mechanical, touch-sensitive, or LED-illuminated — and materials such as stainless steel, plastic, or acrylic.
A-FLY’s elevator push buttons feature responsive touch, high durability, and waterproof performance, with multilingual print and backlight customization options.
Display Board and Indicator Lights
The elevator display board provides visual information, showing the elevator’s direction and operational status. Common types include:
LED dot-matrix displays: High brightness and long life, ideal for high-traffic environments.
LCD screens: Display floor numbers, direction arrows, operational status, or even advertisements.
A-FLY’s elevator display boards support multiple signal formats and are compatible with NICE3000, STEP, Monarch, and other control systems, providing clear and stable visuals.
Call Box Faceplate
The outer panel is both protective and decorative. It shields internal components from dust and moisture while matching the building’s aesthetic.
Common materials include brushed stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and tempered glass.
A-FLY offers customized sizes, finishes, and logo printing options for residential, commercial, and hotel elevators.
Control Board and Wiring Module
The control board acts as the “brain” of the call box. It receives button signals and communicates with the elevator’s main controller, ensuring accurate and quick signal transmission.
High-quality PCB boards with overload and interference protection significantly extend system lifespan.
2. The Evolution Toward Smart Elevator Call Boxes
With the development of smart elevator technology, call boxes have evolved from simple control devices into intelligent interactive systems.
Modern smart call boxes integrate multiple features such as:
LCD intelligent display screens for real-time floor, direction, and multimedia display;
Voice announcement modules for arrival and safety notifications;
Wireless communication for simplified installation and remote control integration;
Human motion sensors to automatically light up buttons when passengers approach.
A-FLY’s smart elevator call box series supports HD LCD displays, voice announcements, and wireless signal communication, offering an efficient and user-friendly interface for modern buildings.
