Thank you. Just replaced the doorbell and the box chime. Doorbell didn’t have anything and the owner/tenant had the ring camera. Took that off yesterday and installed everything next day. The box chime appears original from when the house was built in the 80’s. All yellow and super dusty inside. Glad it’s new and white.
Thank you for this video. My problem is the house I'm in never had a wired doorbell so it would be a new installation all around. We thought the door bell was wired but it was battery. Great video thanks!
Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. ru-vid.comUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa
Sir, I have wiring situation. My transformer has 2 white and 2 black wires (on the 16 volts side) connected to it. The white one’s are connected to one terminal together and black one’s are connected to second terminal together. Then I have 1 red and 1 white at the door bell button and i have 2 white wires and 2 red wires at the chime. Can u tell me how the wires are to be hooked up to the chime? Thanks
I have a old house I have 2 black wires coming from electrical system hooked up to the old transformer How do I hook up the new transformer that has 3 wires 1black 1 green and 1 white ?
Since no one answered your 2nd question, here you go. If the transformer doesn't include wires to connect to the 120 V house lines, you can connect either 12 gauge or 14 gauge wires there. For the chimes and the doorbell button outside, you can run 16 gauge wires for those connections from the transformer. You will be good to go.
That slight buzzing sound is the solenoid, which turns the electrical energy into the mechanical energy needed to ring the physical chime that's in the housing. With the housing closed and if you're a reasonable distance from the solenoid, you can't hear it at all.
Hello, I have a question: in my country the voltage used is 110v, there is a problem if when installing my doorbell I do not use a transformer, I have already tried it and it still works without it. Thank you
I'm going to put mine in a double gang electrical box with a white flat cover installed in the drywall, I think if you can't put it in a utility room that's the best option for accessibility and hiding.
You transformer brings the voltage from 110 volts down to 16 volts. If I had to guess there is a transformer on your current doorbell it's just hidden in the wall somewhere
Little scary to watch you use matches to shrink the heat shrink tubing. As a firefighter I do not recommend doing that. I have seen too many bad outcomes from dong things like that.
What in the world are you talking about? If someone can find a way to burn their house down by using a match on heatshrink, then they shouldn't even be trusted around a microwave.
