is this doorbell compatible with a 16volt door chime?
351920
HomeDepot.com says: "Older wired doorbell systems operate using an 8 to 20 volt transmitter and transformer, with 16 volts being the most common." Our home is 28 years old so I'm betting it's 16 volt. This doorbell hooked right up no problem and works great for us.

Our home was built around 1920, and the wires from the doorbells (front and back) were deteriorating, so we replaced everything - doorbells, wires, and chimes - Broan RC305 Door Chime with Brass Insert, Tubes & Walnut Finish The transformer we ordered for the chime - NuTone C907 16V, 30VA Transformer - was a 16v, so I'm going to say "Yes." That said - because we replaced the whole system, we had an electrician do the work, so I can't speak to 'ease of installation' at all. Also - while the color of the doorbell is listed as "antique bronze", be aware that it really is almost black. I like the way it looks, but if you're looking for more of a brown color, you may not.

Sorry Julie, I haven't install my just yet. I don't believe I will have an issue, for most of theses doorbells are pretty standard. I would just contact an electrician for precise answers. However, I do like the doorbell when it came in.

Yes. It is the eight note chime. The tone is not terriffic, but is OK for th price.

The door sensor uses CR2032 coin cell. The receiver is connected to AC (110V).

Not a clue our chimes are wired in ... Sorry I wish I knew the answer ... but the doorbell is beautiful!

This is a garage door opener. I personally would not use it to replace a door bell type.

There is an 800 number on the doorbell packaging. I called Honeywell and they gave me the correct answer to my compatibility problem. They would be the best bet for your question Good Luck, Joe.

4 wire doorbell wiring will work. Just pay attention to what colors go where (outdoor unit, and indoor unit) and make sure you match them up. Out of the box, these are labeled with "white" or "black" or "white with red stripe" so you can connect them. Good luck

Amazon carries two that work with the GE19216 wireless door chime: just search for GE 19210 Wireless Push Button, or if you would like a lighted LED version, GE 19211 (quite a bit more expensive, though)

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, this is intended for wired doorbells ... simply take the cover off the chime on the wall in your house, and follow the extremely simple and clear instructions to attach the couple of wires to this/your existing chime ... just use the two wires labeled "Front Door" if you only have a front door bell, and use the third wire labeled "Back Door" also if you also have a rear doorbell. I like the two I previously ordered so much I just ordered a third one for my garage workshop! Great range. Great product.

Based on the button design, I would bet that multiple 19216 receivers would work with the doorbell. The bigger problem would be whether the additional receivers would be close enough to the button to get the signal.

It is only loud if you play a higher pitch chime sound but not any louder than most other doorbells. If want to play audio or music it will not resolve your issue.

I am not familiar with the chime you mentioned, so in all honesty I cannot answer your question.

I don't think so, but it may. The instructions recommend that you remove all existing buttons and use the ones supplied with the new unit. The wall control that comes with it is pretty sophisticated with a sensor eye and several buttons on it. It does only have two screws to attach the wires, so it is possible an ordinary button would work. It also comes with the keypad and two remotes that are quite small, so you may be able to just use one of those instead of an ordinary doorbell button. Sorry, I can't say for sure. You can probably ask Chamberlain Tech Support.

It can not be powered by the doorbell transformer; it requires 6v DC at 1A I believe, which is included in the package. The problem is how in the world do they expect you to connect this in a normal home installation? The wire attached to the adapter is way too short to be useful. I just decided to use batteries.

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!)

Dear Janet,Wiring instructions illustrations look more complicated than it is. Just connect the two wires to any low voltage tranformer. Just be gentle on the install. This is designed to connect to your existing doorbell transformer for power. If that's not your plan, you need a transformer to supply power. thank you for your interest!
