16v-transformer is reading 20.5v on my voltage reader. Does it need replacing? The 16V is at its full output load rating (approx 0.6 amps). If you are loading it at less than that the voltage will be higher. Regarding temperature, if you can hold your hand on it, its probably ok. Is this compatible with the Ring Doorbell, that calls for a 16v to 24v transformer?I've used it precisely for that purpose. The instructions are incomplete, however, make sure you call support if you have the Ring Doorbell Pro. They will send you a fuse holder to place between one of the contacts. Without it you risk blowing your unit either the door bell or the transformer. Its just a 1A20x5mm fuse, so you could wire your own but its best to have support send you one for free. They sent me a free chime, too. What is the amp rating? There is no current rating per se, only a power rating specification of 10W. Since the nominal output voltage is 16Vac, we can use that and the power rating to estimate that the maximum current is about 0.6 amps.
My transformer was made in China. I would rate its quality of construction as "good." Help Bought a wireless system that does not work after 2 months push button does not work. This transformer does not install at the door, it usually is installed near your furnace and tied into the wiring for the actual chime box. If you mean to re-install the pushbutton for the doorbell, then if you can reach the wires there to re-install the button, you may be able to solder an extension, however, that is chancy if you don't insulate properly. You may be stuck having to remove wood to extend the wires. How do I connect two doorbell chime wires to transformer screws? Both wires must be connected. One wire to each screw. This is an AC (alternating current) voltage, so there is no polarity. Doesn't matter what wire goes to which screw. Can I use this to run a 12 volt DC marine pump? Will this transformer fit an old nutone doorbell It should.....most old doorbells have a two wire that goes all the way back to the furnace where the transformer is mounted.
I have no idea what kind of doorbell mine was, but the actual press mechanism was at the door and the doorbell was mounted above my thermostat on an interior wall. the wires then went down to the basement where the furnace was, so both sets of wires were controlled by the power lead to the furnace, thus why the transformer was mounted there. You should be able to find your old transformer and be able to just remove and replace. Can I hook this up via power outlet cord The short answer is yes, you could use a power cord to wire power to the transformer as long as the cord is rated for 120V/1A and has a ground wire with ground plug. But your installation would probably not be compliant with the National Electrical Code. The transformer is designed to be installed on a code-compliant junction box. (See attached picture from the installation instructions.) You should connect wiring from a branch circuit to the transformer leads using wire nuts, which means that the connections must be enclosed in the junction box.
And the transformer as well as the junction box must be accessible and unhidden. This is the proper method for installing the transformer. The best advice is to do it right the first time.
