Doorbell help
I've started working at home at the back of the house and can't hear the
doorbell. The bell is mains powered and the ringer sits in the fuse box cupboard above the front door. What is the easiest way to rig something up so I can hear it in my home office? thx E. |

You could replace the bell with a wireless system and re-site the ringer so you can hear it throughout the ground floor. Some wireless systems have a portable ringer that you can carry around the house with you. |

It is a transmitter wired into the wired circuit which transmits to a radio doorbell which can either be battery or mains powered. Something like this http://www.responseelectronics.com/s...ll-pr-107.html I have a Friedland kit which is reliable and works well over 15m through two block walls Malcolm |

You need an intercom so you can shout at people not to leave - if it's that far you can't hear it they'll just go before you get there. -- http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |

Good idea - is there a wireless one I can just bolt by the door? E. |

There are three terminals in the extender and two connect to the bell. As I said the instructions are clear. This is the ref to the Friedland site - cant quickly find any instructions but this pdf contains the info on the extender http://www.friedland.co.uk/PDF/produ...mes_pushes.pdf Malcolm |
