3 possible door connection schemes

We have already told how to connect a doorbell with your own hands, stopping not only on the electrical circuits, but also on the detailed description of the actions. Now I would like to devote more time to existing options for connecting wires. There are 3 possible schemes for connecting a call in an apartment, which we will discuss in more detail.
Method No.1 - One button
  • Method # 2 - Two buttons
  • Method # 3 - Two main blocks

  • Method # 1 - One button

    The easiest way to install a room bell is to connect the main unit to one button located at the door. This type of connection is used in most apartments, both old and new buildings. Switching wires to the 220v network is not difficult, becausethere are only 4 of them( with grounding 5): zero must be immediately brought to the main unit, and the phase goes to break. The electrical scheme for connecting the doorbell is given below:

    The simplified version looks like this:

    Method # 2 - Two buttons

    If you want the signal to trigger from two places, which is very convenient in private houses, then you will have to install two buttons. This method of connection is best used if you can get to your home from the front door and through any other door. Also, connecting a door bell with two buttons is often used in production. The connection scheme in this case is as follows:

    Two switching points

    There is nothing complicated, just the buttons are connected in parallel. Note that the phase conductor should go to the gap, and not zero. We described how to find the phase correctly in the corresponding article.

    Method number 3 - Two main blocks of

    Well, the last, no less popular scheme of connection of the incoming call - with two main blocks. Again, in apartments this option is not used, becauseand one alarm will be enough to hear that the guests have arrived. However, in two-story private houses it can not be heard from the second floor, as they call at the first. In this case, it is recommended to connect a two-button switch, each button of which will be responsible for its floor. In order to make it clear to the guests, sign each key and warn them in advance about how to use such an unusual method of alerting you about a visit. The connection diagram of the call to 220v will look like this:

    Please note that all provided connection schemes for the apartment ring only apply to wired models. It is more convenient to use the remote devices working on batteries or simply from the outlet. We hope that the information was clear and interesting for you!
