DC 12V Wired Doorbell Door Bell Chime for Home Office Access Control System

Product Information

Electrical wiring must be in place or installed, often requiring a transformer to ensure the correct voltage is supplied. As per printed specs on its downside it accepts 8-12V AC, and sure enough inside there's the very simple solenoid magnet pulling a small plunger against the outside metal cup. I happened to have a suitable illuminated door bell button which could also powered from the 12v DC PSU, however be aware that some standard illuminated buttons may not work as they work with specific door bell kits. The faster you can get the relay to operate (low mass is good), the smaller the transformer can usefully be.

But it has the advantage that you don't have to be a mathematical genius to tinker with it until you get what you need. I see other products such as the DIN rail transformer and plug in transformer, but these aren’t always the right products. I can't check the voltage at the chime because it was boxed in behind plasterboard last year as I thought we didn't need it.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.When the new switch position is hit, the alternate (lower) side of transformer gets actively powered while the relay coil itself loses direct access to the power supply rail and so it loses power and also its magnetic field collapses. The Video Doorbell 3 requires a standard doorbell system with 8-24VAC doorbell transformer if you plan to hardwire it.

Cutting and shorting the cable between CHIME and button should not blow the fuse as it is a + and a + switchline, shorting them would just ring the chime. It is just a doorbell but it integrates easily with the keyless door entry control panel and works a treat.

The new housing box and transformer will be smaller than the existing door bell chime unit, and I’ve only just decorated!
