I am planning to replace battery powered door bell with one of these mains powered sets:
A couple of questions please:
1. I have a socket and light nearby. Can I take a permanent live from either location? Will ensure that the Socket isn't a spur.
2. Do I take my permanent live into a FCU (3 amp fuse? Couldn't see the wattage on this chime) and then into the chime/transformer? We then take a 2 wire bell cable out to the push button
I would appreciate your guidance with this please.
Thanks in advance
