To make an extension unit work with the Byron 240V BY201 door chime, follow these steps:
1. Verify Compatibility: Ensure the extension unit is compatible with the BY201. The extension should support 240V and be designed for use with mechanical doorbells.
2. Turn Off Power: Switch off the power at the mains to avoid electric shock.
3. Locate the Transformer: The BY201 requires a transformer (typically 8V). Ensure the transformer is installed and wired correctly.
4. Connect Extension Unit: - Identify the terminals on the BY201 chime marked for transformer input and bell push. - Wire the extension unit in parallel with the BY201 across the same transformer output terminals. - Match polarity if required by the extension unit.
5. Secure Wiring: Use proper connectors and ensure all connections are tight and insulated.
6. Test the System: Turn the power back on and press the doorbell push to confirm both the BY201 and the extension unit sound correctly.
7. Mount the Extension: Place the extension unit in a location where it can be heard clearly.
