| Aug 11, 2023 at 5:41 | comment | added | Basj | @U.Windl update, this is the wiring that I had: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/677104/… I'll update the question here. Do you also think it is safe? | |
| Aug 10, 2023 at 21:35 | comment | added | U. Windl | Is the third wiring safe? I mean: If the transformers are not in-phase aren't they short-cut through the bells and switch effectively? And if they are out of phase, won't they consume electricity all the time (possibly ringing one bell)? | |
| Aug 10, 2023 at 21:27 | comment | added | U. Windl | Maybe for clarity you should explain whether the bell makes a "single ding" while the button is pressed, or does it make a continuous ringing sound (rapid "ding"s). It's no ding-dong bell, right? | |

| Aug 9, 2023 at 17:18 | comment | added | GodJihyo | @Basj Can you do a test with a multimeter to confirm how the bell operates? With the power disconnected can you put your ohmmeter across it and measure the resistance? Then press the armature against the coil and see if it now shows an open or short circuit. | |
| Aug 9, 2023 at 17:06 | comment | added | GodJihyo | @Basj Does it have two wires or three? If it's two then it's SPST, or at least connected to act as a SPST. | |
| Aug 9, 2023 at 17:02 | comment | added | Basj | @Rodo: this push button is not accessible, it is in the wall with no screws, etc. Can I test if it's a DPST or SPST with a multimeter? | |

| Aug 9, 2023 at 16:55 | comment | added | Rodo | It looks like one transformer may not have enough power for two bells. Can you show a picture of the push button? I want to verify that it is a DPST and not a SPST. | |
