In this DIY guide we take a look at some of the different types of door bell and how they are installed. Rules and Regulations for Electrical Work If you don’t have a doorbell, install your doorbell about 1.2 m(4 ft) high,where most doorbells are located. For full help and advice on how to use a junction box and wire one up, see our project here. Step 6 – Turn on Power and Test

In most cases chime units are installed either above a doorway or up near the ceiling somewhere so that when the connecting wire is dropped down it’s then not visible as it can run straight into the unit. If your home doesn’t have a doorbell, or if your current doorbell system is incompatible with Nest doorbells, you can use an Indoor Power Adapter to installa Nest doorbell instead. The push button cable was then run up through the hole as the electrical supply cable and then over and down through another hole near to where it will exit through the door frame. In this case an existing ceiling hole close to where the push button was to be installed was used.

There are essentially 3 different types of door bell available in the UK and indeed across the world and they are the modern smart door bell, the wireless door bell and the traditional wired door bell. Wired Door Bells There are 3 main parts to a standard wired doorbell system; the chime unit, the transformer and the push button 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 doorbell wire is then neatly run up the door frame and up to the chime unit where it is connected to the transformer as instructed by the manufacturer in the instructions included with the kit.With the circuit isolated a junction box was installed into the existing lighting circuit the feed was being taken from and then the 1mm twin and earth cable that was previously fed up from the chime unit was connected up.

Once the hole is drilled, place the push button over it so the wire hole in the rear of the push button is over the hole you just drilled. Mark each fixing hole for the push button on the door frame using a pencil or 2mm drill bit if you can’t get a pencil through each hole. If you are plugging the transformer in, then a 3A fuse in the plug is needed. The cable from the plug to the transformer needs to be able to carry 3amp, so anything 0.75mm² or larger will be fine. eg such as that used for a table lamp. Use the included USB-C cable to fully charge your doorbell for battery-powered installation. Keep it plugged in during setup so that it can connect to the app and the Wi-Fi network. The first job is to find a suitable location for your push button to go. In most cases this will be at either side of your front door, or the door you are installing your doorbell for. 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.
