Byron 771 Wired Door Bell, White, Classic Sound

This was used as a delivery doorbell for our warehouse we use to have a battery system with a digital bell which worked OK but the batteries kept running out etc and it was un realiable.So we decided to install a good old fashioned hard wired system as you can't go wrong with this kind of installation.Being an electrician for over 20 years can't say there is anything wrong with this product, even cheaper than the electrical wholesaler so that's a bonus.I was very surprised that everything included In the box arrived as the supplier or amazon sent the item in a box with no tape on it just a flimsy cardboard flap.It was open when Amazon delivered it but lucky nothing missing.I did not use the included bell wire as I have reels of the stuff so can't comment on the length of the wire however it did not look long as it was a small coil.I'm not sure if that length would serve a generic house?I used an enclosure to install the transformer in definitely worth doing that as the covers for the transformer are not the best and you don't want them popping off if its In touching range.The push well its a push it will probably last a couple of years before it needs replacing but that's common for the south coast anyway.The bell not the loudest however we are using this in a warehouse and not a small hallway so unfair to saying anything bad about It on that point.The sound is your typical nan's house sound and brings back memories of standing on the doorstep of nan's house pressing the bell :-)We may need to replace it for something a bit louder but as I say that's due to where we have it installed.Pros:Simple kitComes with everything you needNice feel to pushCons:Not sure cable would of been long enough (Did not use anyway)Not many clips in box (did not use anyway)Packaging needs to be more secureCovers on transformer not the best so could make the input side unsafe would definitely recommend a din rail enclosure.Overall very happy with the kit.

A very attractive replacement for our 28 year old one. Sadly it’s not very loud. We have discovered that that isn’t Byron’s fault. Thanks to the EU doorbells are not allowed to be more than 9db. :o(((((

This is a 9vdc battery (not supplied) or wired bell with just two notes (ding-dong).Easy to install with a variety of pictorial wiring methods on the supplied instructions sheet.It is quite unobtrusive at 12cm x 8cm.It takes a 9vdc battery such as the MN1604B1.I opted for a 8vdc transformer and outdoor speaker cable because I have a repeater bell in the back garden. You will need electrical knowledge to install a transformer but it is easy to do if you know how.If, like me, you have a transformer DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CONNECTION.

Mine arrived soon enough but sadly I did not get around to fitting it until one day after the return window had closed.Before fitting, I put everything on a table to bench test it first, and it's a good job I did before I began drilling any holes etc. Absolutely nothing from it. I checked all the wring with a test meter. Battery and connectors and all circuits were fine but the bell itself simply did not work. Not a thing from it.Lesson learned that I should have tested it soon after delivery even if I hadn't intended to fit it until a later date. Contrary to some other reviews, mine did come with a mains transformer.

If you want a loud doorbell then look elsewhere. I needed this to wire up an existing Doorbell that requires charging. This does the job perfectly and I no longer have to re-charge the video doorbell as it is now constantly hooked up. However, the ding-dong is very quiet but this doesn't bother me as I already have a wireless chime that is much louder and also linked to the doorbell. So if you want a nice loud bell sound then look elsewhere. If that doesn't bother you so much then this is a great product.
