Can I use this powered from my doorbell transformer and have it sound the alternate doorbell when tripped?

You would need to determine the voltage that your doorbell transformer works at. The sensor has 5 wires. 2 power the sensor, it is pretty versatile in the voltage that it works at, so chances are your doorbell transformer will be fine. the last 3 are an single pole, double throw relay/contactor, with a normally open and normally closed output. You will want to connect the normally open output to the doorbell, and the input to the door bell transformer. Be aware that there is potential to burn out your doorbell. Think about your doorbell, when you press the button, and electromagnet makes a striker hit a chime, and then when power is removed, a spring pushes it into a second chime. If someone holds down that doorbell, you get a buzzing sound as the electromagnet is continuously working. If you had this on your driveway, for example, and a car stopped in the beam, the same thing would happen as someone holding down your doorbell button. It could also happen if a leaf fell into the beam and got stuck on the reflector... Chances are this wont be a problem, but you wouldn't want it to happen while you aren't home. There is a fire risk if that door bell magnet or transformer over heated. Consider adding a timer to the circuit, that once it is powered, automatically opens the circuit until it is powered again.

Yes, you can wire it into your existing doorbell circuit to activate the chime, or have it activate an alternate bell if desired. I recently installed it as a reversing sensor for my entry gate and have found it to be versatile and well made.

Yes. I have an electric wired doorbell. You must purchase a transmitter (comes with one remote) that you "wire" into your door bell on the wall that hopefully rings now. Very simple. That transmitter uses the electrical power from the door bell chime to send a wireless signal to the remote doorbell. I installed the transmitter and two extra remote doorbells, upstairs and basement.

Yes it can. It can go with just batteries and it will sound through your handsets. If you want it to ring through a electric doorbell already there you can do it that way as well. Comes with the batteries too. When they are running low, it will say it on the handset screen.

There are two components, a transmitter that connects to the doorbell and a receiver that plugs into a 110 V ac outlet. The latter has the speaker that makes the sound. We have one transmitter and two receivers, and I see no reason why you couldn't add more receivers, although as far as I know, you can't purchase them separately. In our case, we ended up with a spare transmitter. You can select one of several chimes at the transmitter, and all receivers make the same sound.

My unit came with a diode across the button. When I later replaced the doorbell button, I had to move the diode to my new button.

It must be wired in parallel with the chime, which can be done at the chime or the other end of the chime wires, at the transformer. That's assuming all the wires for your chime go back to the transformer. One wire might go straight to the transformer, while the other wire(s) go straight to the button(s). You wouldn't be able to hook it up at the transformer that way. If all the wires meet up at the transformer, you can, but it won't be as obvious which wire is which.

As long as the current draw doesn't exceed the ability of the transformer, which is 40 VA ( not the same as wattage but close), it should be OK. Besides a doorbell is seldom used and for very short periods, should be OK.

Not sure about your question. You can set the doorbell to ring differently. My dings 8 times... I LOVE this doorbell. It looks and sounds great. Don't forget to buy a transformer if you don't have one already. Hope this helped

Yes, you just plug the device into an outlet and then take the other part to the breaker panel. Pass the device over or touch each breaker and an audible alarm will sound when you are over the correct breaker.

I have to be honest, I haven't had it installed yet. A couple of electricians that I had come had problems with it because I do not have a door buzzer for the doorbell. I also needed to purchase an adaptor for it, and I still don't have it in yet. I think if I didn't need it to connect to my door bell, it would be OK.

Any wired doorbell will work fine. I had no problem using the existing wired doorbell (also, this is a great product. very happy with it!)

For power it comes with a plug-in transformer you can use if have a way to run the wire from AC to the doorbell, or it can run on two AA batteries. I have one on AC and one on AA, both work just fine. They are wireless from the doorbell to the base station.

The short answer is "yes." But I assume what you mean is that you have an existing switched outlet, controlled by a wall switch, and you want to swap the wall switch to the motion sensor. Your question is still not entirely clear to me, though, as this transformer is intended to be hard wired into a jbox, and not plugged into an outlet.

There is no transformer provided. I had a traditional physical door chime and it works fine.

Dear friend,You can connect it directly,do not need a current transformer.Hope could help you!:)Nice day!:DBest Regards

you can use the 4 hard wires in the wall, you currently have for your doorbell.....it will save you from routing the wires given..with this unit......BUT !!! you will have to disconnect at both ends whatever your old doorbell system is connected to. Both the old base unit and the doorbell outside. .. you can only use the wires !!!! and re-purpose them to these units. This main unit and remote door unit can only work with each other and the power unit provided. They will not interface to other systems

I have not yet installed my NuTone C907 (30W), but I from what I have read, this transformer should have sufficient power to ring 2 doorbell chimes simultaneously. My system will have just 1 doorbell button (at the front door), which will be connected to 2 separate doorbell chimes (on different floors in the house). Hope this helps.
