Converting a battery powered door chime to a mains powered

[homemove]

Hi guys,

I have a Friedland 424 Door chime, which takes 4 1.5v batteries. Is it possible for me to add a transformer to the chime, so that it can be main's powered instead?

Thank you. Would it be difficult to wire it up though? I mean where would I connect the transformer wires to?

A plug with a 3amp fuse fitted. The terminals are marked in the chime and the transformer will come with instructions.

Regards,

DS

If it's a Friedland Facet 107 chime then

Transformer goes to 1 and 3. Push wires to 0 and 1 (you will need to move a wire)
