Pushbuttons
Q. How can I tell what style of pushbutton I have?
A. Here is a chart showing our different pushbutton styles. If your pushbutton
is mounted in a traditional wall box, it will be attached to male weld
studs two inches (2.0”) on center. If it is in a surface-mounted
housing, the housing projects 1.375” from the wall, and the stud
pattern is diagonal.

Q. How many kinds of pushbuttons are there?
A. Innovation Industries, Incorporated currently has seven standard series
of pushbuttons, making 34 different styles, each of which comes in choice
of two mounting patterns.
Q. Do these pushbuttons come in other colors?
A. Multi-voltage LED pushbutton and indicator boards come in your choice
of five illumination colors: amber, blue, green, red and white. Amber
most closely resembles the appearance of incandescent PSB type lamps
common in many existing fixtures, so it is our shop standard on almost
all new fixtures. Orders for vandal-resistant Security Series and Bruiser
Series pushbuttons commonly use red illumination. Special order illumination
color is always available, so don’t hesitate to ask for one of
the other colors if you want to change, or you are trying to match
an existing job.
Q. Do these Security pushbuttons come in other finishes?
A. While mirror finish is the shop standard, Security Series pushbuttons
are also available with a satin (#4 brush) finish.
Q. How deep is an Innovation pushbutton?
A. Traditional style pushbuttons require a minimum clearance of 2.00” deep.
Innovation I-Line? pushbuttons require a minimum clearance of 1.125” deep.
Q. Do you have any pushbuttons that don’t
require mounting studs?
A. No, at the current time, there is no way to add one of our pushbuttons without
also providing welded studs to which to attach it.
Q. Can I convert my standard pushbuttons to Security style?
A. In some cases. Any Universal Series round pushbutton will convert
to any round Security style with the same stud pattern. However, Universal
square pushbuttons have mounting holes 1.375” square, making
them larger than their 1.250” square Security style counterparts.
Decorator pushbuttons have no equivalent Security style.
Q. Can I replace my standard Universal or Security pushbuttons with
Bruiser buttons?
A. No. Bruiser Series pushbuttons have a smaller hole diameter and require
a special counterbore on the surface of the panel.
Q. Where can I get a wiring diagram for my Innovation pushbuttons?
A.
