In the majority of cases the junction box/transformer setup tends to be an older type setup with the newer models being much more simple to install and therefore utilising a consumer unit transformer or the transformer as part of the chime unit. In terms of wiring up, the most common method is to take a feed from an existing lighting circuit as the 6 amp breaker in the consumer unit that protects the lighting circuit will suffice for a door bell. 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 mentioned above as we are using a unit with the transform integrated into the chime we don’t need a separate transformer, however in some cases the transformer comes as an individual unit that is either installed next to the junction box or power source or as a unit that installs within a consumer unit on the Din bar along with existing MCB’s and RCD’s. The doorbell also boasts a huge wireless range of up to 1,300ft (roughly 400m), is IP55-rated for waterproofing and will operate between -20°C and 60°C. There are 52 different chimes and five sound levels to choose from and once you’ve made your choice, they will be remembered and restored whenever you turn the doorbell off and on again, even in the event of a power outage.Once both the cables have been run in place the chime unit can then be fixed in place on the wall. Before firmly fixing ensure both sets of cables are pulled through into the inside of the unit where they will need to be so that they can be connected up. In terms of fitting a door bell, as it involves connecting into the mains and effectively altering the earth path, this is definitely classed as notifiable work and should only be attempted by a Part P electrician.

In the mean time various visitors, couriers etc. come and go, ringing your door bell that at this time doesn’t work so they presume no one is in, when in fact you very well could be. Depending on the type of doorbell system you are installing will depend on how it’s powered. Some units have a separate external transformer that requires a feed to be taken from an existing circuit via a junction box and some units have their own transformer that is installed within the consumer unit and power taken from there or the transformer is physically built into the chime unit. The DC311N doesn’t have all the smart features of the higher-end DC917, but if you’re looking for a reliable push-button bell with battery chime, you won’t get much better. With a 150m range, you can carry the chime unit around the house or even outside. The connection seems to be exceptionally good. It’s loud, so should still be audible if your hearing isn’t so good, and while you only have the option of four different chimes they’re all quite listenable. When it comes to advantages and disadvantages, as you can see there are quite a few advantages of these systems and on the whole not really any disadvantages, other than the battery issues already discussed above.Some doorbells offer a choice of wireless “channels” or frequencies. Some kind of link feature can also be useful, as certain wireless doorbells are susceptible to interference from electronics or car key fobs. It’s also worth looking for a push button that’s IP44-rated, as this means it should be protected against the hostile weather many UK front doors endure on a daily basis.
