Doorbell system

[KNIPEX]

I have been asked to install a doorbell system which has 1 door push and 4 chimes
i cant seem to find a suitable system which allows this.

can i use a normal doorbell system and just loop the chimes, but will the transformer be big enough.

any links you have or advise would be great

thanks

just seen the post mate. yes you can parallel all the chimes up, might have to fit a bigger tranny though. suggest powering up with a 12v alarm battery and measuring the current drawn ( it's dc so you can't use a clamp meter. use mulimeter )

Most of the wireless bell systems use a dip switch to set a code so that your door bell does not ring every time next door gets a visitor. You could get 1 push and 4 recievers all set to the same code. Each is then battery controlled with a typical battery life of over 2 years.
If the bell wire is good for the extra current you could use a LV lighting transformer instead of the bell transformer.
