Last week I installed a doorbell in a small hotel.
It was a wired push button with a transformer and chime combined.
After installing it I wasnt impressed with the loudness of the chime so I suggested we would add another bell onto the tranny.
anyway adding this bell wouldnt work. It worked direct but not via the push button, so I suggested we get rid of the tranny and chime combined and run this bell off a normal bell transformer on its own. Still no joy, its a 12v 1A tranny. The run for the cable is about 25mtrs. The owners were also talking about a bell on each floor so they dont miss it. Do you think I am getting too much volt drop (I should have measured it today). Do they do any systems that can power 3 bells from one tranny?
