Installing a Mains-Powered Bell

Install the bell push (which may be the illuminated type) as for a battery-powered bell, and run the bell wire back to the sounder position. Leave a loop there (4) and run the wire on to where the transformer is situated.

 

 

 

 

 

At the sounder position, separate the looped cores, cut them and connect them to the terminals specified in the manufacturer's instructions (5). Then fix the baseplate to the wall and fit its cover. Connect the other end of the bell wire to the transformer's output terminals, and connect the transformer to the mains.
