BG Electrical Wireless DoorBell with IP44 Rated Push Button and Double Power Socket, Battery Operated, White Moulded

Product Information

As mentioned above, where the push button units are hard wired to the chime as their power source, this needs to be done via a transformer to reduce the power to the push button to a safe amount so that it can be used in and around the home or externally. In the majority of cases this will be around 12V but sometimes much less (around 2V). Choose the home to which you want to add your doorbell, or select Add another home to create a new one. Then, tap Next. In this instance we are going to install on a door frame so first drill a hole through the frame using a 6mm or 8mm drill bit, ensure that you drill through the empty carcass of the frame and not too near the edge as to affect the closing of the door. In terms of wired door bells there are also a few different types – those that are hard wired to a mains electric supply to draw their power with the push button mechanism also hardwired to the control or chime unit via a transformer and those that have their control/chime units hard wired to the mains but their push button units are wireless.

When it comes to powering smart door bells this is generally done through either hard wiring to the mains and using a transformer to step down the voltage so its a low voltage supply or wirelessly using batteries. Old thread but I have just bought a Ring Doorbell Wired and Byron 776 to do the same thing as in the video. The Byron chime is powered, it works with a standard bell button, but when connected to the Ring, the chime won't work.You may be thinking; how do you know some one is competent? Well, this simply means that they are Part P registered and due to this will have received all of the necessary training to complete everything as it should be. The next job then is to connect up the live feed to the transformer from the existing circuit. Before any work was carried out, the electrician doing the job isolated the circuit we were taking a feed from by turning it off in the consumer unit and then testing that the circuit was indeed fully isolated! As we are installing in a bungalow in this instance access via the loft area is easy. However if you are installing in a house then access down from the first floor will involve pulling up floorboards, unless you want to run trunking between each floor and up to the loft space, but this can look untidy. In this DIY guide we take a look at some of the different types of door bell and how they are installed.

Once the ceiling hole is drilled both the electrical supply cable and the push button cable can be run up through the ceiling. Once pushed up in place the electrical supply cable can then run over to the location where it will be connected to an existing lighting circuit or electrical feed up in the loft or in the ceiling. With the circuit isolated a junction box was installed into the existing lighting circuit the feed was being taken from and then the 1mm twin and earth cable that was previously fed up from the chime unit was connected up. Additionally one of the major disadvantages with wireless units is the fact that they rely on batteries and as we all know, batteries run out! One of the main gripes that people have is that the batteries for either the chime/control unit run out and you may not notice this until you try in yourself or someone tells you. Once marked drill a small pilot hole and then screw the push button in place. Not fully as yet as we will need to remove it to wire it up.

As we are dealing with the electricity system within your home, as stated at the top of the project, this particular job should only be carried out by a qualified electrician that can fully test the system once installed to confirm all is as it should be and then produce a minor works certificate to confirm what work has been carried out and to what standard. One of the final jobs then is to connect up all the components of the doorbell system. Firstly, the door bell wire is run through the hole in the door frame from where it was run down from earlier and connect each wire to the 2 terminals on the reverse of the push button. Once your doorbell is connected to Wi-Fi and the app, the app shouldtest the video. 3. Turn the chime off and test
