Bell Transformer

[Besoeker]

Why bother?
Cordless systems are cheap.
I have a couple, Front and back doors.
Less than fifteen squid a pop. No wiring. And I can even record a message.
"We have a back door visitor."

A while back we had a visitor from the US of A. She recorded a very rude message on one.
About entry being dependent being conditional on readiness for entry.

I don't suppose it needs spelling out...........

If hazard a guess that they are bothering because everything is in place for a wired system and they are far more reliable than wireless ones which need batteries changing etc.

And wireless bell pushes look awful, whereas wired ones can look at lot better if you get a decent one.

Other than where to put the transformer otherwise the question wouldn't have arisen.

The question wasn't where to put it, but where to get one the right size

"Anyone know which bell transformer I can get to fit in this board?"
I'm sure you get the drift.......

If you do put a bell transformer in there you you will need to sleeve the bell wire to give the required double insulation.

True, but have you ever seen anyone actually do that?

It doesn't matter what you've seen other people do, you do what you know is right.

And yes I have seen this done a couple of times. I use heatshrink over the bellwire if it's existing that I'm reusing, and use small 2core flex instead of bellwire for new installs.
