Thanks all. So what alternative could I use without using the cheap and high failure rate of standard plugin 12v dc transformers that you can get generically off the internet. looking for something a bit more reliable.

defo not a cable issue as when it didn't work I connected a 10cm cable from the transformer directly to the doorbell! hence why then went back to testing terminals with meter. think the issue is it's actually outputting ac and not dc as the spec and I was using about 5 metered of proper bell wire.

could well be the problem with mis printed specification info from the manufacturer!

It's a hikvision WiFi doorbell.

Spec says 12v dc and when you look on the BG transformer spec sheet, it says 12v dc? https://www.bgelectrical.uk/public/downloads/data-sheets/devices/CUB1.pdf

Nope, it's an IP video doorbell

OK - so with the meter set to 200V AC i get the following readings : across 0v and 12v - Meter Read 16V AC across 0v and 24v - Meter read 28.8V AC the doorbells requires 16 to 24v so which terminals would be recommended?

well i only resorted to testing with a multimeter because I installed the first 2 I had straight off and the doorbell wouldn't power up! I have tested with the probes as shown and Directly in the terminals where the cables would go!

Yes I've set the meter to 200v ac and 20v dc and can't get a steady output reading on either just returns 0. jumps to some random numbers when probe it thrn settles on 0. Transformers are usually DC as per the specs I've read?

Hi. I purchased 2 x BG Doorbell Transformers both of which I am unable to get any DC output out of any of the terminals. I took them back for another and the same issue. I can't believe that I have 3 faulty transformers but can't see I'm doing anything daft. I can check with multimeter and get...

Thank you, is the G2 series still a good current panel? Whats the difference between the 2 ethernet modules on the flex? I assume that the 8ir103 would still work with the flex panels if I ever wanted to swap out my g2 panel

Hi, I've currently got installed a G2 panel with ethernet self-mon module (all self installed) which has been fault free for 6 years. I'll be installing an alarm system at another property, and wondered if I should still go for the G2 panels, or whether to opt for the flex panel. Is the wiring...

I've currently got a wired galaxy g2 system which has been great over the last 6 years with no false alarms or issues, and only just changed the backup battery this year. On another property i'm looking to install a Galaxy Flex system but thinking of going fully wireless on all PIR's etc to ease...

If i wanted to change my Alarm Panel (self installed) from a G2-12 to G2-48 panel, whats the easiest way to move the bell box connections with making the least amount of noise? I'm assuming that as soon as i remove the current cable connections from the board, the sounder is going to sound until...

So would it still activate as an intruder zone when the system is set? I didn't want to try it and annoy the neighbours!

I have a honeywell G2 system with majority of sensors wired, but i have 1 wireless PIR DT8M. For some random reason i walked into the room with the wireless PIR sensor and noticed on movement that the red LED was no longer lighting up. I went into zone walk test and set active, however one...

It's a Honeywell 8IR103 sensor currently

I have a laser printer which is in the corner of a room. the room has a PIR sensor in the opposite corner but on the same side of the wall. I remotely print to the printer whilst away from home so they are there on the printer waiting for when I return home. however on most but not all times...

Thanks guys ! Is this the only option or can gate photocells/beams be used if they offer a normal NO/NC option and a 12v power source?
