Strobe Door Chime

09/25/2008 1:46 AM

I would like to connect an Indication with strobe door chime, see the link below:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48416&&source=14&doy=25m9

Our Peon wants an indication along with the Bell if somebody can press his wireless button to call a peon, then indication will shown to the peon that on which room the bill will ringing?

so in this way i require some possible solutions using the same strobe door chime because i also reduces the cost as well.

or alternate is:

Refer me the place where strobe door chime is availble with an indication! so i can order for once and then work on for many.

Regards.

Hello zohaibmoazzam:

I think I understand. You want a multi use buzzer on the outside door that will ring your s and other chimes/strobe?

Can you confirm this please?

I know there is units where there are several buttons outside and they will ring . Say if you have flat 6, then if '6' is pressed outside your bell will ring. I can find out but, at the moment I do not know if they are wireless or wired. I would imagine they are wired and each bell is traced down to the correct button when installing. If they are wireless I think they would need to have as many different frequencies as there is flats in your building.

How many flats are you intending to fit this in?

These are for commercial rental properties.

Most chimes for use with an ordinary house or flat in a house (rather than a flat in a multi-rise) have two frequencies on a wireless setup. It allows you to flick a switch to change to a different, ready set frequency if, for instance two building side by side use the same type of bell or chime.

I will do some searching for you now. Am I right in thinking you are deaf? No offence to you, OK?

Wouldn't it be easier that they contact the switchboard and ask for what they are after?

Or you would need a encoded radio transmitter, and if they are running it wireless, then how does a "Peon" know where to go if button presser 13 is on the opposite side of the factory when the button is pressed?

Hello Snaketails:

you are probably right...........and could be Africa, far east?

Anyway, you read my post to them explaining that most bells available to the 'public' have just two frequencies?

Some indication of the number of flats or where it would be used might help? I have found an item by searching, why can they not search? Mmmm, funny that. anyway, the one multi button bell for outside the main entrance rings bell4 in flat four, and also mutes all other flat chimes. I think it may be what they are after but, until they re-post a reply I can go no further.

I got the impression they wanted to save money? The price of the chime is £18.00, $33. I would expect to pay that cost per flat. Makes a lot of difference if it is wireless or wired as well. I think they have gone to sleep now?

Hello zohaibmoazzam:

I have a chime similar to the one you list. And a door 12 v doorbell fitted. You should get a vibration sensitive pad with the chime. I put this on the doorbell box and the chime works and or the flashing light.

This site I have found is American. It looks just what you are looking for and, as it takes batteries can be used in an Country. I have not heard about exactly how you want to use a multi button bell system so, will wait until you reply with more information before I do much more searching.

Overview

Wireless Doorbell Intercom System

Wireless Doorbell Intercom System - This Wireless Intercom system has been tested upto 500' between buildings and walls. The built-in 5 channels will allow you to speak to 5 intercoms or group of intercoms individually. The All Page button will allow you to speak to all intercom stations at the same time.

The Doorbell Unit Uses a Standard D Cell Battery, and Mounts to any surface. The Indoor units Plug-into any Outlet

Includes

  • 1 Intercom Room Unit (Dimensions: 5.5"h x 7.5"w x 1.5"d)
  • 1 Doorbell Station (Dimensions: 5.5"h x 3.75"w x 1.5"d)
  • 1 Year Warranty
Key Features

Westinghouse 5-channel Wireless Intercom System - The Room Consoles provide a wireless audio communication link between your rooms, and doors. The intercom uses digital signals to control the stations called and provide a unique "house code" that prevents other nearby intercoms from accessing the system. Either of two radio frequencies can be selected for the intercoms to further eliminate the chance of interference from adjacent systems.

The Console features five station number pushbuttons for selecting the party to call. The ALL CALL button can be used to call all stations. Pressing the TALK button calls the selected station, then controls the direction of the conversation. Each intercom user presses their TALK button to activate the microphone during the conversation. The Doorbell works as Console station 4 or 5. Pressing the Doorbell's TALK button sounds a "ding-dong" (station 5), or "dong" (station 4) at the Console, then the conversation begins by pressing the units' talk buttons.

For privacy, a MUTE switch on each Console can be set to prevent Wireless Doorbell tones and ALL CALL messages from sounding through that Console's speaker. The Console can be placed on a table or shelf, or mounted to a wall with the screws provided. The antenna adjusts for table or wall mounting. Power for the Console is provided by a plug-in transformer.

  • 5 Available Wireless Channels

Re: Strobe Door Chime

09/26/2008 11:53 PM

Dear Sir,

Thank you for assisting me, iam from pakistan, and i read all you have posted here, and i also go through the link you gave me. but there is slight change in the task.

I describe whole scenario to you:

"I just want a wireless bell with wireless button for office use only, in which button is located at Boss room (Let Suppose) and the Bell is fixed at Peon's area, whenever boss needs anybody he will press the button located in his room,and at peons area i want that the bell is ringing along with an INDICATION (may be LED, or something else)"

If the above task is completed sucessfully then i will install same configurations describe above with different LED's (Indication) for other office personnel's as well this will make things easier.

I hope now you clear what i really requires.

Right now i have an individual sets for all the executives (wireless door bell with a wireless button), but they only gave me similar sounding with no indication this will shuffle the peon...

Is there any technique? by taking some ammendments,and get the desired result which i describe above with existing SETs i have ?

OR

If not, then recommend me some prepaid set which i will order and then work for the other's set..

awaiting for your reply...

Hello zohaibmoazzam:

How many button will there be in use?

I understand you more clearly now. I do not have the flashing doorbell any more but will look for one. How much can you pay?

You know you have probably the second largest electronic Industry in the World, on your doorstep..........INDIA. Is it possible to try searches here. Are you able to cross the border or order items from India?

I will keep looking now I know what you want. But I really need some idea how many bell buttons you will be using. and how much you can pay for each. If you by from a large supplier, the more you buy the cheaper each unit is.

Right now we have 4 buttons in use, but we have plans to extend it more and yes we can buy from india if the prices are in our limit, you are start searching at your end, and let me know if you got some conclusion, initially you find the best device for me without thinking in your mind about the cost and then after we will work on it how we can make it cheaper.

The perfect answer to this would be a system similar to that found in "The curse of the Were Rabbit"

Where the light indication was connected to a persons picture, Then you don't have to have a corny tune connected with each "body" the activation is connected to. you just look at the pictures.

Hello Snaketails:

hope you are fine.............

I think the original poster is not as experienced in what ever his job is in the company he works for, as he think? No offence. But his last reply to me asked if he should buy this product which is a Pager. But in a previous post he said he did not want a pager!

As you may have seen, I advises him he should think of pagers. And also said the product would probably be cheaper if bought from his 'neighbour' India.

I have have no idea what detailed system they want, how many 'buttons' or the type of company he is working or buying for. This makes me very frustrated!!!!!

The system he has chosen is designed for Restaurant use. But, his previous replies gave me the impression he was in the type of company where the 'bosses' have the 'minions' at their finger-tips by a buzzer system. Sort of early 20th Century? If he goes for the system he has mentioned he wants but works in a Factory, which I am guessing he does, then that system will be useless.

I will still help him IF he gives me more info, but when he was originally looking at a UK company who have the strobe light thing he saw and mentioned, it makes me wonder why he did not do a more local search in his Country or India, for the item he wants, (and only he know exactly what that is and should know the name of it). Unfortunately, I have broken my 'crystal ball' in frustration with this question!

Take care...................

But the system I'm mentioning, needs no training, the eyes light up and flash, and you have a visual representation of the person you have to go and see, with tones and musical alerting, you need training, and people who are not tone deaf to know who they have to see.

But about 15 years ago, I did build a system that when a machine stopped, it sounded a musical alarm, each machine with its own "melody"

Hello Snaketails:

hope you are well................

Your system sounds great! Do you mean each office has a picture and when the Boss rings a buzzer the thing lights up?

From what I understand, and there has not been very much explaining from the original poster, I doubt the people who have to be told they are needed are the lowest of the low and would not have an office. That is how I see it anyway.

But, on the other hand, he has not said what business he is in or if he is employed or not. So I am guessing really. Well, that and knowing something of how the Indian Pakistani system works. The Bosses are loath to give any decision making to anyone, until they have to when the company just gets too large to work like that.

Did your system have a name?

take care............

Hello Snaketails:

I like all of Nicks cartoons. But really like the short animal speaking cartoons where Nick records the thoughts of everyday people and then gets the animals to talk the voices. Not very good English there, sorry, but you get the gist? I recall one where they had a Tortoise speaking on Olympic running I think.

take care my friend.........

I am moving some time in the next year and will treat myself to all the Creature Comfort Vids after I move. I would imagine they are available in a boxed set?

Nice to hear from you, thanks..........

Hello zohaibmoazzam:

I would have thought the price would be good as the company is not far away.

I think it will be cheaper to buy from India. You can now write or ring them and explain what you would like to do and how much finance you can use for the project?

Good luck............

Hello zohaibmoazzam:

If you are asking me if you should buy this product? I cannot tell you that. It depends whether you can get exactly what you want at a price (including delivery) which you or your company can afford.

I went to the site you pasted the address of in India. And it seems it is a pager?

In one of your last posts you said you did not want a pager.

What is important is that you try out several companies and see how much each will charge for the quantity you want...........Including companies in your own Country.

You told me you will want to use 5 (I think you said). Ask how much 5 units and the buttons and a disply, if thats what you need. It should be cheaper than multiplying the single button and display by five! If you get five, but think you may need more, discuss it with your managers because usually, the more you buy (in one order) the cheaper each unit price is.

Do not forget, if the product you get is wireless, you will have to include the cost of batteries and chargers to recharge all the batteries used in a day. (I assume you will recharge each set of batteries every night? Or every other night?)

Batteries and chargers for anything up to 20 batteries will cost an extra 60 to 80 pounds. (Approximately).

Can you confirm to me..................you need one display screen, + one button, + one pager for each manager?

Are you saying the cost of one unit (bell and pager/beeper) plus delivery is two hundred and seventy Dollars? Is that correct? If so it sounds very expensive.

hello zohaibmoazzam:

please tell me, are you in the Hotel or catering business?......If you are, the item from the Indian site is ok.

As I understood it, you are in a Factory and the buttons are for each manager to contact their own dept?...................... This product will not work for you if you are in a Factory, try to contact runners on the Factory floor.

Hello again zohaibmoazzam:

what Country do you want to buy from?

And, have you thought about a 'pager' sometimes known as a 'beeper'? The advantage is the tiny unit is carried round and beeps and or buzzes and the beeper will only react to a particular bell push or phone number.
