Hikvision doorbell connection pictures

[duaplex]

HI Guys,

Been driving myself nuts for 3 days and I think I may have a dud of doorbell.

So I have the Hikvision doorbell
Byron 772
Haydon 240VAC 1A (an installer told me this is the incorrect transfomer, but others have had success?)

I tried to follow the advice on other threads and use the PDF diagram to create this open circuit, but I am not sure I have done it right.

Has anyone got any pictures of the 772 connected to this doorbell, using a transformer?

I also tried to wire the doorbell directly to the transformer but I get nothing, only a flicker of the light and then its off. There was not resistor in the box, so I am sending it back for a replacement

Any help would be appreciated.

This doesn't tell us what the transformer outputs.

Hope this helps

Hope this helps

yep, 24 VAC up to 1 amp.

Ok so the transformer is good then?

Anyone have some pictures of connecting this to the transformer and chime?

I have seen then manual showing an open circuit but not really sure where the red wire and black wire goes in the loop?

Which doorbell model do you have? Is it branded Hikvision or something else?

IIRC, 24VAC is the upper limit of what it supports, a bit lower may be better. There's more information in one of several threads on the Hik doorbell which are quite long.

That is awesome thank you bob!

So is that showing the following

Transformer black into chim
Transformer Red into chim

Doorbell black into chim
Doorbell red into chim


Could I risk damaging anything if I made a mistake wiring?

 

[bob2701]

No, it is showing one wire from transformer goes to the chime, the other wire goes to the doorbell. Then the other lead on the doorbell goes to the second connection of the chime.
It is a series circuit with the button on the doorbell completing the circuit. Since it is AC colors do not matter. If you were not using the chime then you would need the resistor in the circuit.

A better image where the Button is your doorbell.

Ok so, let me see if I get this.

I have attached the picture of the 772 chime. So ignoring the battery.

Should I connect connect to points 3 and 0 in the loop suggested above.

 

[bob2701]

This should be the instructions for the 772 chime, you will follow either #2 or #3 depending on how your wires are run.

 

[bob2701]

Tell me exactly how your wires are run. And where is the transformer.

 

[duaplex]

No existing wiring at the moment.

I only have the chime, doorbell and this transformer

Then follow #2 to test it.

Doorbell to 0 and 1 and transformer to 2 and 3.

 

[duaplex]

I tried that, no power to doorbell, flickered briefly.

Hikvision wrote back and confused me even more with this diagram. Now thru say to add resistor. Wiring is different too.

 

[bob2701]

Then try it this way.
One lead from transformer to #3 on chime.
Other lead from transformer to one side of Hikvision.
Second lead from Hikvision to #0 on chime.

If that doesn't work test the chime by hooking the transformer to #2 and #3 and momentarily shorting #0 and #1.

 

[duaplex]

Ok will try, no resistor was in the box, but a replacement arrives tomorrow.

Should the chime have the connections bridged this way? #0 and #3 have that thin wire bridging them.

Could I damage the doorbell messing about with it like this?

Saw that video, this is why I was asking about my connections.

I didn't know how to translate that into mine
