Wiring Newer Otis Elevator Buttons

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

That's actually pretty cool how simple it is set up those buttons Jason.

[@railevator4000]

I have NEVER seen an Otis button panel uninstalled! I've seen them installed before though.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Nicely done!

[@stlelevators]

Thanks!

[@BarkodeProps]

What if I wanted to push the button and have it stay lit up after pressing?

[@josepeixoto3384]

Thanks, extremely useful. edit: people are asking here, in March 2024 i got them from china, aliexpress 2 or 3 euros, all metal, beautiful pc board, very good switch, just amazing( or i've just been lucky), but the pinout in NOT the same as here,the switch is by pins 1 and 4, that can be adapted with wires;for non-critical aplications only... 1 and 2 come soldered together; they sell other models too.

[@cong1sena2]

Yes simple to replace. Finally 😍😍

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

If this was mounted on a wall it need a panel adapter as I have seen before

[@ElevatorsOfVA]

Do you have a link to the connectors you used on this project? I would like to wire an otis panel I recently got.

[@stlelevators]

I don’t actually know the P/N for the connectors on these. I’ll have to see if I can dig it up.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

I was kinda wondering when you’d do a modern Otis button. Seems like these are quite simple to wire especially if you have the proper tools. Nice video! I’m hoping to someday get some buttons of my own to wire. However, as I’m not entirely inclined to browse on EBay for buttons and none of my local elevators are getting modded, I do not believe I’ll be getting any fixtures for a while.

[@stlelevators]

I've had this for a bit I just finally got around to wiring it.

[@musicfreakcc]

Awesome video! I like the 3D-printed box. Have you ever tried using Wago 221 connectors? I've found they are far superior to wire nuts when dealing with stranded wire.

[@stlelevators]

Thanks! I haven't tried those connectors. I have so many wirenuts I've acquired over the years. I need to use them up haha.

[@LSM_Lover]

Where do you buy your buttons from?

[@stlelevators]

I don’t really buy buttons. This one was given to me

[@ElevatorAdventurist71]

request: Wire up Dewhurst US 91-BB call station

[@SouthernPennsylvaniaWX]

This is cool. How do these buttons get their names?

[@stlelevators]

The Otis document I have calls them micromotion

[@Bombiedude.]

Its strange how on the back of otis buttons theres all that space used for the circuit board where it looks like that should be where the springs are to make the buttons actually press and not click

[@stlelevators]

It is just a small switch on the board for the actual contact.

[@elevatorsoflakecountyTV]

The technical term for these buttons is "MicroMotion3", apparently

[@baelevatorsmore728]

@SPS8 elevatorsoflakecounty I suppose that makes sense for it being the 3-pin variation.

[@stlelevators]

That makes sense. The document I have just says micromotion and lists the 3 and 4 pin connections.

[@mariokart8715]

Your shortest elevator part wiring video.

[@stlelevators]

Simple and to the point.

[@Supergamer-tx9qf]

@@stlelevators I have a otis position indicator that I’m not sure how to wire it to make it work

[@TakoElevators]

I actually been on an elevator with these call buttons.

[@stlelevators]

They’re the main buttons Otis uses now.

[@TakoElevators]

I only been on one with these buttons. There’s not a lot of these buttons I found in my area. In your area, this might be the case, but in my area, this might not, but I’ll have to keep looking.

[@elevatorsofnorthernillinois]

Cool

[@ElevatorsOfTennessee]

I know you got that from eBay

[@stlelevators]

No I didn’t

[@Txdcblues]

That “small box” probably took 6 hours to print lol

[@stlelevators]

Yep….

[@qeelevators2960]

Where did you get those connectors?

[@Txdcblues]

Most electrical suppliers will have them if not somewhere online

[@stlelevators]

I had them from another project I ripped them off from.

[@MrTactical839]

Hey, where do you get elevator buttons?

[@stlelevators]

This one was given to me.
