This is a guide of Innovation elevator fixtures.
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). The Universal series was introduced in the early 1980s, probably around 1982-4.
Decorator Series
Innovation Decorator is just like Innovation Universal but it has a square wrap around the braille. It is unknown when Decorator was first made, but it did exist in 1990.
Security Series
These fixtures are vandal-resistant type and has a red lamp on the center of the buttons. They come in either square or circle. These fixtures were introduced in the 1980s, and were used on newer Montgomery and MontgomeryKONE elevators in the 1990s.
Bruiser Series
Bruiser buttons has a red lamp on the center of the buttons. They comes in white or black versions. Bruiser comes in circle and in square. These are more commonly used in modernization projects. These fixtures were first made in 2000.
NEMA 4X Series
These look similar to Innovation Bruiser fixtures, but the slanted part of the button is a metal ring around the button, not part of the button. These fixtures were first made in 2012, and were most likely made to compete with CJ Anderson's VX buttons.
Premier Series
These fixtures are the same size as Innovation Universal, but only light-up in an outside halo. They comes in either square or circle. These buttons come with all of Innovation's braille plates. Innovation Premier looks very similar to Innovation Prestige. These fixtures were first made in 1998-2000.
Prestige Series
These are metal buttons with a halo that lights up. Prestige looks very similar to Innovation Premier. These fixtures were first made no later than 2002.
Pinnacle Series
These are white illuminating buttons with a metal halo. These fixtures were first made in 2012, although there are some MontgomeryKONE elevators from the late-1990's that use Innovation buttons that look very similar to the Pinnacle. Also, Innovation Pinnacle should not be confused with Monitor Controls Pinnacle, which are hexagonal, layered art-deco fixtures.
Park Avenue Series
These are home elevator fixtures. They can use different Innovation fixtures. These fixtures were first made in 2004-2006. In 2012, Innovation dropped the Park avenue name. Now, these fixtures have no name.
I-Line Series
