How to Wire Dover Impulse

[@evana6425]

I would love love to get those

[@Themomhair]

Will you wire a dover impulse elevator button as a light switch

[@stlelevators]

Probably not

[@Themomhair]

Why not

[@stlelevators]

I don’t really see the need to do that

[@samuelpowell87]

Nice

[@stlelevators]

Thanks

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

Andrew aka diseal ducy has Dover impulse newer switch as well as older dover button on a panel

[@stlelevators]

Yep I know :)

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

I just realized can you use the screws that are in the button(wire it without a sodering iron) to the light?

[@stlelevators]

You might be able to. I actually want to remake this video since it's a bit older and I've improved on how I wire things now.

[@fosterhunt82]

Where did you get that button at

[@stlelevators]

ebay

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

on that old yelowed the button of the microswitch works fine you could scalvaged from it

[@stlelevators]

I still have it.

[@tracksidefinnatx]

Love this! Im a kid who loves elevators and wants to start my collection to wire them with my dad (Union Electrican). Where should I look to get parts

[@stlelevators]

eBay

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

If you only wire one switch the button won’t light up the led if that micro switch fails

[@stlelevators]

The chances of it failing in this setup are pretty low.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@stlelevators and did you know arcade button use the same micro switch

[@DylanLTindall]

I was able to wire my Dover impulse intermediate call station. However, my buttons only have 1 micro switch for some reason.

[@stlelevators]

That’s normal.

[@Photoelectric_Elevators]

Nice! This will help me wire the buttons on my elevator COP! I recently got keys for it!

[@stlelevators]

Glad it helps!

[@PFElevators]

@@stlelevators I have a question. What kind of bulbs are used for the impulse? I’m wiring up mine and I need new bulbs.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

now i don't have a soldering iron but i do have aligator wires that will work securly

[@stlelevators]

You can also buy connectors that fit on the pins.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@stlelevators I could but I have alligator wires so it works and I do have a arcade button with the same micro switch but different manufacturer

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@stlelevators stl elevators I do now have a soldering iron from an elenco soldering kit but I’m waiting on a fume extractor

[@Nicsou77]

Can you show a video of how to wire a Dover keyswitch to light up something I just got a Dover impulse keyswitch

[@stlelevators]

I don't have a Dover keyswitch, but it would be the exact same concept as the button. You would just hook up your wires to the microswitch on the keyswtich instead of the button.

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

Nice! I have some impulse buttons that are wired up as well

[@elijahrosado3816]

ThyssenKrupp needs to remanufacture Impulse fixtures.

[@stlelevators]

Impulse panels are actually a giant pain to work with.

[@idl3k_elev]

Looks like another Saia Burgess microswitches from Switzerland on the newer Impulse buttons.

[@BigKitty1011]

Please don't tell me that led in that intermediate call station is red. If it is... Oh god, that led would be suffering.

[@stlelevators]

It’s pink. A red would need a resistor.

[@BigKitty1011]

@@stlelevators Good. Also something to note. It is just a good idea in general to add a resistor in series with any led even if the voltages are the same. There are many reasons for this. A LED is not like an incandescent light. LED's are very susceptible to over voltage because of the way they are built. Their voltage current relationship is not linear like most loads, it is exponential. So even small changes in voltage (as low as 0.2v) can cause huge jumps in current (which will either kill the LED or lower its lifespan). A resistor is always added so that any voltage jumps in the circuit will be absorbed by the resistor and not the LED (this is ideal). Something to note, just because the voltages of the power source and the LED match does not negate the need for the resistor. This is because there are electromagnetic waves that are emitted from many household products. These waves (if brought close enough to any conductor) can induce small voltages in a circuit. These voltages are usually small, but remember! LED's are VERY susceptible to over voltage. I have to admit, I too have made this mistake, the electromagnetic radiation emitting from my computer was enough to break an LED that was nearby that did NOT have a series resistor added to it. If you have any further questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask, I am always happy to provide more information on the basics of electronics to those who ask :)
