Hi,
So I really do wish I’d left my doorbell alone!
Decided it was also time to get rid of the old ringer which I shoved a 0v-24v DC transformer in when i purchased the doorbell and obviously the chime casing never fitted properly afterwards. So I purchased a Grothe 24v AC bell. Wired the bell in as a replacement for the chime and just got a constant ring when i turned the power back on. Tried a fe alternative wiring combinations but all the same result - constant ring when power went back on.
So I then purchased a 0v-24v AC transformer, seeing as the bell itself was AC I guessed the DC transformer was the issue. No, constant ringing when the power goes back on. The doorbell works fine when you take the bell out of the equation and powers up fine utilising the 0v-24v AC transformer. The DS-KB6003 takes 24v AC power so not sure where its going wrong.
Hoping its something simple and I’m just wiring in wrong.
Any advise gratefully received
Richard
