Hi guys, I run a small kennels and cattery. I have a problem with the 'door bell' . I have a bell push on the outside gate. I need it to ring in about 6 different places. Too far to be wireless. I have cables running between each of the locations. Can anyone suggest a simple solution. Robin
24v power supply, 24v buzzers/sounders, MK momentary masterseal or 22mm push button. Simple, perhaps not cheap.
Or Friedland make wireless kits with ranges of 50m, 100m or up to 200m. You'd have the hassle of changing batteries though. You'd definitely hear the 24v sounders as per Lectrician's advice above. You may not need 6.
If each bell has it's own power supply/batteries, I don't see what the problem is. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
I recently wanted 2 door bells to ring together from a single push. The second bell in my garage office about 20m from the first bell which itself is about 15m from the push. I bought 2 standard battery powered door bells. Wired in parallel they wouldn't work - volt drop on the wire was too much. Wired in series they work just fine. I originally thought doubling the battery voltage in the circuit would cause a problem, but it didn't. With 6 locations maybe you need a combination of series and parallel, but pretty sure you could make it work.
More than likely, properly, BATTERIES in series. So voltage supplying second cable in series, rather than just link. first set of batteries in series may not last as long. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
Wire goes from push to first bell then from other terminal of that bell to terminal of second bell then from other terminal of second bell back to push. Works perfectly and has done for ages. Connecting the push in parallel across both terminals of both bells didn't work. Current was doubled through push and too much volt drop to make bells work properly. They worked but very weakly. You do need to make sure polarity is correct!
Thanks for the clarification. I was imagining someone with arms spanning 35m pressing both pushes at the same time. Makes sense now
