Montgomery Elevator Fixtures Guide

Vintage fixturesEdit

Many of the Montgomery elevators from the 1910's to the 1930's, combined with the Globe and Parallelogram elevators in the early 1940's to the mid 1960's used CJ Anderson fixtures, typically with HNRB buttons which were 3/4" diameter black buttons. Some vintage fixtures hadHNRWilluminating white buttons and FG traveling lanterns on the later vintage elevators in the 1950's and 1960's.

These are found in the Montgomery Globe Parallelogram (G elevators in the late 1960's towards the mid 1980's, before the modern Montgomery elevators were coming. It has square plastic buttons with white illuminating lamp and black halo. Floor counters will also be square plastic lenses with black halo,LED Tube, and bear a close resemblance to the buttons. Directional lanterns will often have triangular lenses that illuminate green for up and red for down, although some newer (1980's) G lanterns might have up arrows that illuminate white instead of green, even if the down arrows retained their red illumination.

VectorEdit

The Montgomery Vector fixtures were common in the late 1980s and early 1990s, plus they were utilised until Kone purchased Montgomery in 1994. AsMontgomery'sequivalent towards the Otis Series-1 and Dover Impulse, these fixtures usesgray square buttons with agreen illumination stripe lamp next to the buttons. Floor indicators are green dot-matrix vacuum fluorescent display, and while the buttons may be ADA compliant, often they were mounted excessive to satisfy ADA compliance. Consequently, this is why Vector fixtures are rare, and many are now being replaced with newer, ADA compliant fixtures, often from Innovation.

Series 220Edit

The Series 220 fixtures were introduced in 1994 whenKone purchased Montgomery in 1994 like a successor to the Vector fixtures, and they were also a competitor to Dover Impulse, Otis Series 1, and Schindler MT. This fixture line uses black rectangular buttons with red-LED illuminating halos. Around the early Series 220 elevators, the vacuum fluorescent floor counters from the Vector fixtures stayed used, but later, these were substituted with red-LED dot matrix floor counters. Around 1999, some elevators with Series 220 fixtures began using Kone's bell chimes (the down chime used two different pitches,LED Tube, creating a "hi-lo" effect).
