Wiring US Soft Touch Elevator Buttons

[@baelevatorsmore728]

Ha. I’ve called a few of the elevators at my school by messing with key switches in that manner. Lol. Always cool to see another wiring video from ya. If I ever end up with some elevator fixtures of my own I’m pretty sure your videos will prove very helpful! Now to just get some fixtures…

[@stlelevators]

Usually keyswitches that are used really frequency like that get worn out.

[@lanman95]

Interesting, so it's not touch sensitive, but instead actuated via the piezoelectric effect according to the patent. Neat!

[@stlelevators]

Yep! It was neat to learn how these buttons worked.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Very interesting design

[@stlelevators]

Neat design, super cheap.

[@ee4u]

Ah yes, I've been waiting for this.

[@stlelevators]

Enjoy!

[@stfplumbingelevatorsandmore]

That's pretty cool!

[@stlelevators]

I thought so too!

You made this in my birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@stlelevators]

Awesome!

I am in US

[@tanchoonnee]

@@stlelevators you made 2 videos on my birthday

[@mikeygarcia8748]

Would you do a video on wiring kone kss 370, 500, 570 or 140 buttons?

[@stlelevators]

I would need to get a button to work on, and the one we have at the museum is missing the connector I need to hook up the buttons.

[@statecollegewx4060]

Nice. Why is that microswitch there If all you do to activate it is touch it? I’m confused

[@stlelevators]

There isn't a microswitch in the button. It creates an electrical pulse when the button is pushed. There is a version of the buttons that have microswitches, but this is not one of them.

I rode my first soft touch last month

Vancouver Elevators, and More of 2021 that's awesome! I recently rode my first U.S Hydraulic Elevator with ThyssenKrupp-like buttons, 2 Montgomery G&P Hydraulic Elevators, and a Westinghouse Hydraulic (which was my first one ever)

[@stlelevators]

Nice

lol typical screwtube

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

It looked like a intermediate call button originally just missing the down button

[@stlelevators]

It was another keyswitch that was missing.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@stlelevators well How do you know? A Call button Could also fit their as well

[@stlelevators]

@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 Because I was told by the person who gave it to me that he had to take the switch off for use on another elevator.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@stlelevators ahh I see and the 3D printed filler is unnoticeable from afar!

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

I think the bottom hole was for a down button

[@stlelevators]

It wasn't because this was from the first floor.

[@FranzFerdinandVIII]

maybe it was for fire service?

[@mitchellkelly3955]

Interesting

[@Txdcblues]

Ah US blackbutton

[@stlelevators]

Basically.
