Makes me wonder if Series 220 fixtures are actually from the U.S. or Europe. Someone from the UK once filmed a KONE elevator with Series 220 in Europe.
You should make buttons for a lift company. Also some constructive criticism: You should've used a different micro switch, infact the board doesn't really matter, you're just wiring in some LEDs and that's it really, I know you wanna still keep it real though.
Why would I use a different switch when the genuine one works just fine? I only make my own circuit when the genuine circuits won't work with a low voltage battery.
@@stlelevators No, because the fome on it will wear out or leave some residue which is horrible. Actually you can replace the fone with a more reliable material such as plastic or something, it'll click fine and probably last longer then that fome on the circuit board.
Hey Jason, I’m trying to wire one of these up for my computer engineering class at my high school. We used a breadboard and a 9V battery, and we think we completed the circuit, but the button isn’t working. Can you help us? Thanks
They’re supposed to be run on 24v, so you could try that. I just did 9v because I didn’t have a 24v battery pack at the time. Just verify your connections are correct. It’s also possible the board could be broken, so verify on another board if possible.
@@stlelevators thank you! Our spring break is next week so I won’t have any time to work on it for a week. I also have an MT PI I’d love to try and wire up
It may be a bit for that one since I am going to try to find a proper connector I can use. The pins are too small to solder to and I don't want to risk damaging the connector.
KSS 220 is hands down one of the most satisfying fixtures.
The down arrow looks like it was not 3d printed. As well as it looks real. Nice Job!

Hard to tell, but the circuit boards on the 220 buttons have "US_Button" label on the back, so maybe there's a UK version and a US version.
Jason your elevator part videos are awesome.
Amazing job : Arrow you have printed looks like very similar original up button

For the amount of use this button will get now, that foam should not wear out. Its over years of use where it would wear out.
@@stlelevators Ahh okay, I wouldn't rely on the fome that much though but ok.
《》Rahan2003《》 it’s spelled foam
That button looking pretty dim compared to the normal 220 buttons I see out in the field. But whatever, still pretty cool.
A school near were I live has these buttons!
I have a request: can you get a Series 220 bell lantern so you can wire it to the indicator and make the indicator chime
If I get a hold of one for sure!
At 8:35, what exactly are you soldering? Are you soldering together the 2 inner pins and connecting that to the black and red wires?
I just made a solder jumper across the two other pins. I didn't have the proper connector at the time, so I had to do that.

@@stlelevators Thanks
Let me know if you have any other questions

Can you actually buy these buttons or parts brand new from KONE? The circuit boards look like they just came straight out of the factory.
I got them new old stock. I don't know if you can directly buy them anymore.
is that KSS370 button getting a wiring video soon?
It may be a bit for that one since I am going to try to find a proper connector I can use. The pins are too small to solder to and I don't want to risk damaging the connector.
What are you going to make the key switch when you get the key?
Nothing 😂
I would like the Kone Series 220 call buttons.
Better start looking for one then!
@@stlelevators Actually Where can I buy a Kone Series 220 call button?
You could have just put new foam on the old board by glueing the foam on the button
Yes that works too
Where can you buy series 220 fixtures
You really can’t buy them unless you find one listed on eBay.
Hello! Can faded call buttons be painted?
How easy it is depends on the button. Any button can be painted, but it really depends on how nice you want it to look.
That thing looked like it came out of a parking garage.
Where can I buy a Kone Series 220 call button?
Ebay if one pops up.
What exactly uses key switch?
It locks out the buttons.
@@stlelevators LOP ?
can you do kone kss 140/370/500/570
Does kone still offer series 220 in brand new installations?
They don't
@@stlelevators late comment but do they stil sell replacement series 220 buttons?
CUSTOM KONE ELEVATOR BUTTONS JASON THESR ARE SEEN BOTH ON TRACTION AND HYDRAULIC KONE ELEVATORS
That's a very flawed design with the foam pads. I cannot imagine how common this problem will be
I see so many that are broken probably from this issue.
