Detailed Look and Wiring "Long Bar" Schindler MT

In this video, we take a detailed look at the "long bar" version of MT fixtures. I compare this version to the more common style of MT and show you the differences of the buttons from both the front and back sides. As for wiring, this video shows you how to wire the buttons, but if you need more help, check out my website: www.stlelevato...

Thank you so much for showing us a detailed view of the older Schindler MT button. I’ve always wondered what those type actually do.

[@stlelevators]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MilwaukeeCountyElevators]

Thanks for this video, now we know the differences between a regular MT compared to the long bar MT. And great wiring on these buttons as well!

[@stlelevators]

Thanks!

Love love those

[@evana6425]

I have gotten obsessed 🤩 and love with those I’m glad you show them to me

[@stlelevators]

They’re neat buttons. These older ones seem to be made better than the newer ones.

[@metroelevators4619]

Wow that's cool

[@stlelevators]

Thanks

That "long bar" MT microswitch looks almost like the microswitch used in the Schindler S-Series fixtures in Europe, probably made by Saia-Burgess as well.

[@stlelevators]

Interesting. Never seen S series

[@idl3k_elev]

They are only found in Europe, although a few ones do exist here in Asia.

[@jonc3806]

Great job Jason! Could you please show us how to wire Kone Series 500?

[@stlelevators]

Thanks! If I get one I will.

[@BCsVators]

Thanks for wiring Vancity and I’s MT button!

[@stlelevators]

Thanks for donating it to the museum

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

1333 had long bar MT?!

[@VancityElevators]

yes sir

[@Rodj12341]

Do you happen to have the chime to the MTs? I have always been wondering how the chime works on an MT and why pitch varies so much.

[@stlelevators]

I wish I did.. I've wanted to mess with one too.

[@EWPA14]

I think I just found out the name of these buttons. I saw a SEES document which showed the key-switches (but not the buttons) & the base was the exact same as these, & it was labeled "Schindler CT." So I'm thinking that's the actual name for these.

[@stlelevators]

Sometimes these elevator companies don’t know what they’re called either. Only way to find out for sure is to find someone from the company who knows for sure.

[@EWPA14]

On the same page it also showed a key-switch that looked like "regular MT" & it labled that "Schindler MT." But yeah I wish these bigger companies had older documents visible.

[@AbomagooniosEntertainment]

i was today years old when i realized there was a difference between schindler mt buttons lol

[@stlelevators]

Yeah there's a difference both visually and mechanically. The difference is small, but noticeable.

[@HSETM]

I think JCTC has long bar. I have not paid enough attention to the button

[@stlelevators]

Well now you know what to look for!

[@HSETM]

@@stlelevators yea they dont but des moines might tho on their 300a

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, even though one snaps in from the front and the other bolts in from the rear, is the hole in the steel plate the same size/shape for the two buttons?

[@stlelevators]

I believe so, though I did not test it actually.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

@@stlelevators It looks like it would be. Actually, I never knew there was any difference besides the length of the lenses.

[@elevator_satellite]

Has anybody in the lift community got a Mitsubishi part yet?

[@stlelevators]

I don’t know

[@OntariosElevatorssince2013]

Those early "long bar" MT buttons sure are much better built than the newer ones. Gotta love cheapened down later revisions. NOT!!!

[@stlelevators]

Yeah the older ones are built much better.

[@windycitysirens]

just wondering, where do you get these?

[@stlelevators]

People donate them

[@BCsVators]

The long bar button is from me and Vancity Elevators. It was given from both of us to Andrew and then it was sent to Jason to restore.

[@windycitysirens]

@@stlelevators Oh ok. Where do they get them from? No pressure if you don't know

[@windycitysirens]

@@BCsVators Ok. Thanks!

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

Oh my, this is definitely a 1333 piece.

[@stlelevators]

I think it was from there lol

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

@@stlelevators it is definitely.

[@LVElevators1]

Sams Town (Las Vegas) has these kinds of buttons in the atrium elevators, but the 2nd parking garage has 4 ThyssenKrupp Impulse, the bowling elevators are Series M2, and the first garage has a Montgomery (Modernized)

[@stlelevators]

I've only seen a few elevators with these buttons.

[@tflelevators3104]

Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this content in the future

[@stlelevators]

Thanks! Part videos each Thursday!
