- (10-19-19) In this video, I show the rebuild and wiring of a US Elevator button. This button was in pretty bad shape when I got it, so there is a lot of work to do!

Also, awesome wiring job!!
Thanks!
Great video, love the editing style. And to be honest, the whole throwing/sliding things was really funny for some reason. I like it! Look forward to seeing more wiring vids :D
I wanted to try something new. I kind of like it too.
Agreed
Red arrow for a us elevator is for up green is for down
no it's not
@@stlelevators well thats what it was from the elmwood park garage before it was modded to TK
Great Tutorial! This will be great when I wire up my US Call button!
Glad it was helpful!
Stuff needed for wiring a part: _exists_
Jason: *YEET*
That button was don very VERY nicely. GOOD JOB!
Another perfect restore... Nice work sir! I still say...
You put the Braille on the wrong side...
Top Hound That bothered me for some reason.
Haha I can switch that once I get the button
By the thumbnail, I thought this had Innovation Pinnacle Until the plate was shown. XD. Anyways, Nice Video!
Awesome! This was Sam’s button, right? I actually saw this on eBay! I bought a intermediate one from the same person and accidental broke the micro switch. I ordered some new ones on eBay.
Adam B yea, this is mine!
SPS8- elevatorsoflakecounty Awesome! I’m glad we were both able to get some US circle buttons from the same seller!
what is the model of the microswitch for the circle buttons?

@@stlelevators thanks
Ur like Andrew with throwing things
😂
I could understand why your voice sounded different, because of this button being harder to work with, and of course, it's no surprise that these US Elevator fixtures were of pretty low quality. Those US buttons have certainly have a very flimsy way of mounting, and those micro-switches can break easily, as opposed to the ones on other elevator fixtures.
May I ask where you got that pair of magical wire strippers?
A yard sale for 25 cents. You can get the same ones at Menards for I believe 25 dollars.
STL Elevators Wow, that’s crazy! Good to know though. Thanks.
Fans and Elevators with Mr. Pullchain That happens to me too! Don’t you hate when that happens??!!!

yep
Would u think an impulse fixture would work off 9v
it depends on the voltage of the light you use
RHW4 Photography is partly right. However, there is something else to take into account for when using batteries. They are current limited in a way. A 9 volt battery can only hold around 600mAh of charge. And the incandescent light he uses consumes around 250mA when running. This means that within 3 hours of having the light be on, the battery would be dead! Also keep in mind that the voltage of a battery is not constant (See this image here: www.powerstream.com/z/9v-100ma-discharge-tests.png ). So really the usable range of the battery would be more like 2 hours. This is why I recommend that people use a power supply or wall adapter when wiring their parts. (STL Elevator uses batteries because he does not have an outlet near his display and he does not want a extension cord running across the room). It is acceptable to use batteries when there is no wall outlet near. But if there is, I strongly recommend you use it.
@@Txdcblues the wires look like they are from a 240v 3phase but theres no way a led can take that much
@@Newberntrains 240V 3 phase? You probably meant to say 208V 3 phase, or 240V single phase. Most commercial installations don't use 240V 3 phase. And depending on what LED you have, it might be able to take 120V. Best is to find the part number of the bulb and then look it up. Unless you intend to use a small 3mm or 5mm led with the button. In which case you will need to add a resistor in to run it with a 9v battery.
Yep! That's why I use batteries. If I had the wall power available where my parts are stored, then yes, I would use an adapter. Another thing is the amount of use my buttons actually get, it would take a while to kill the batteries as they are only on for a few seconds at a time. For my larger Dover panel, I used a 4000mAh battery that I can recharge. The batteries also allow for easier rearrangement and mobility of the parts.
