Product Information

Electricity is extremely dangerous, we are all taught this from a very young age so when it comes to working on or around electrical circuits, we are naturally cautious. This has a range of 128m and can be worn on a wrist strap or lanyard, and when you press the button it lights a green “I’m on my way” message to let your caller know you’re, well, on your way. The chime has a selection of melodies and the only thing to think about is the remote, which needs charging approximately every four days using the provided cable. If you’re not as fast on your feet as you used to be, this could be the doorbell for you. In the majority of cases the junction box/transformer setup tends to be an older type setup with the newer models being much more simple to install and therefore utilising a consumer unit transformer or the transformer as part of the chime unit.

The Nest Doorbell (battery) already comes with a wedge that you can use to adjust the doorbell’s camera angle if it’s located in a corner. Thewedge can angle your doorbell horizontally up to 20°. When it comes to the wireless units, as you may expect the majority of these are purely wireless and draw their power from batteries as opposed to the mains. 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.Once everything was successfully connected up the front cover for the chime unit was placed on and the junction box front cover was also screwed in place. The next job then is to connect up the live feed to the transformer from the existing circuit. Before any work was carried out, the electrician doing the job isolated the circuit we were taking a feed from by turning it off in the consumer unit and then testing that the circuit was indeed fully isolated!

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. If you already have a Nest product installed in your home, your doorbell shouldtry to get your Wi-Fi info from it. Try to moveit closer to your doorbell if possible, or temporarily uninstall your doorbell and plug it in closer to the assisting product while you try to connectto Wi-Fi again. On the subject of range, some wireless doorbells now promise to reach 100m to 400m. The larger your property, the greater range you will require, but 400m is ample to cater for a sizeable place so you’re unlikely to need anything more than that. Push Button: The push button unit is the part of the system that allows visitors to sound the door chime in the chime unit. Normally located next to an entry door, a visitor would press the button, which would then sound the chime and notify residents that there is someone at the door. They are either wired to the chime unit via a transformer or are wireless with their own onboard power normally supplied by batteries. Again they are available in a range of different styles to suit most homes Battery life is important for battery-powered models because – trust us – you will keep putting off replacing the batteries for longer than you should.If you need to replaceyour current doorbell, you might be able to mount your Nest Doorbell over the old doorbell button’s location. However, you might need to drill a new hole or remove the current doorbell wires and drill out the existing hole so that the power adaptor’s cable can pass through the wall.
