Door entry handset replacement (Elvox 801 to Bell 801)

[MacCookie]

Hi folks,

I've got an Elvox 801 door entry handset, but the buzzer has died.

Given that it's a five wire system, would I be right in thinking that I can simply replace it with a new Bell 801 handset? That seems to be the most commonly available one.

Cheers!

Yes not a problem

Bell Handset
Z- lock release
R- Speech to door
O- Common
T- Speech from door
I- Ringer
Elvox
Two versions
1- Speech from door
2- Speech to door
3/4/5 - Common
7- release
6 - Ringer
Or
9 Common
4 Speech from door
6- Speech to door
2 - Release
+ - Ringer


Just about any 5 wire can be swapped. With the Bell you might find the ringer is too loud a 500 ohm resistor in series with the ringer will drop the volume a tad.
