Review: Great bell and is supplied with a separate transformer! - This is a fantastic doorbells, delivered on time, has a nice ring to it and comes supplied with a 230v to 8v transformer with it. I've just fitted it and it looks great.
Review: Excellent "old fashioned" ringer - What can I say - I had it installed when getting work done on the house so I've no idea if it was easy or not, but it works great. It's a proper traditional bell striker so it's nice and loud, and no need to worry about batteries. Only thing is it's a little smaller than I had expected - it replaced a similar item that had stopped working, but is less than half the size. Might be a good thing for you, but worth making sure you check the dimensions if you're replacing an existing one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this work as a chime with a hard wired video doorbell like ring?**
A: Yes, two wires and works fine.

**Q: Can it be used with just batteries ?**
A: The bell requires 8 volt ac., it does not work on DC.

**Q: Is the transformer build into the bell structure or a separate piece of kit ?**
A: Transformer is separate. The enclosure is similar to, but not the same as, RS part number 194-7576 to fit a DIN rail like 771-9565. . There are screw holes which would  enable the enclosure to be screwed to a wall.

**Q: does this need to be plugged into a mains socket?**
A: It’s 12v, so it would be mains in then a 12v transformer to step down the voltage to make it work, if you connect 240v directly to it, you’ll blow it
