In 2004, the fixture was renamed "KSS 220", and in 2006, it was replaced by the current KSS series. Buttons are look like rectangular black M-Series buttons with red halo lamp and a white rectangle in the middle. During this time, many elevators with Series 220 fixtures have Kone's then-current style floor indicator. A lot of YouTube elevator enthusiasts mistakenly refer to these fixtures as KSS-220. Series 220 chimes and indicators are still made on custom order with Innovation fixtures.
