Buttons

Universal Series

The Universal fixtures can be circle or square. They illuminated in yellow, amber, white, light blue, dark blue, and cyan. Universal fixtures have bar type buttons (either PB10 or PB56 series, depends on the measurements). It is unknown when the Universal Series was first made, but it did exist in 1984. They where used in 1990s Montgomery and later Montgomery KONE elevators, as a replacement of the non-ADA compliant Montgomery A Series Fixtures. Montgomery referred these fixtures as "Conventional Fixtures".

The specific names for these buttons are:

• PB1 (projecting halo round)
• PB2 (flush halo round)
• PB3 (California compliant round)
• PB4 (projecting halo square)
• PB5 (flush halo square)
• PB6 (California compliant square)

Pinnacle Series

These are white illuminating buttons with a metal halo. These fixtures were first made in 2012, although there are some Montgomery and Montgomery KONE elevators from the 1990's that use Innovation buttons that look very similar to the Pinnacle, called the SELECT Series. Also, Innovation Pinnacle should not be confused with Monitor Controls Pinnacle, which are hexagonal, layered art-deco fixtures. The specific names for these are known as PB-36 and PB-37 (CA code).

There is also a California compliant version of this line known as the Pinnacle VR series. These are all vandal resistant buttons with a full face illumination in white to comply with California code. The specific names for the buttons in this series are PB-69 (projecting), PB-70 (flush), and PB-71 (metal halo underneath illuminating part).
