Transformer
On the modern doorbell, buzzer and chime system , the transformer is come with the package. When working with older systems you will need a separate transformer and identifying the Voltage need to use.
.A transformer reduces normal 110-volt power to low voltage 10 or 16 volts, then support current to low-voltage equipment such as chimes, buzzers and bells.
Normally have two type : plug in and regular
regular transformer usually has three permanent wires–Nature wire (Normally white) and live wire (Normally Black ) designed to provide power to the unit from the power source. and Green wire connect to Ground
Plug in type have Two terminal screws that you can connect two wire come from the system and just plug in any 110 V outlet
normally it will mark the power source outside .you need to use more powerful transformer like (40VA or more ) if you have long run.

Door bells, buzzers or chimes system can be operated with electric current or battery power. They generally consist of two units- one push button unit and the receiver that runs on current or battery power in a circle . Most of the old type door bell and buzzers operate in 10 volts and modern system use 16V AC . The simplest door bell rings when push button is pressed and the circuit gets closed. These can be mounted on any door and wired ones doesn't have the problem of range.
Some times when door bells are fitted and wired for front and back door together, the inmate gets confused as the sounds are not separate.Hence a buzzer can solve this problem which sounds different than a bell.Thus a combination buzzer and a doorbell solves the security problems of a house. When the button is pushed the bell rings for front door and buzzer for the back door keeping it simple and straight.
Chirpy chimes
People who love chimes can never settle for a doorbell. These 16 volt devices sound pleasant, attractive and welcome guests with great enthusiasm. Chimes systems can come with different tones for front and back door which helps to identify which door chime is activated. The chime can be wired in same technique as a door bell or a buzzer. They also look appealing and hence one can hang them right on the wall so that it is audible to the entire house. Customizing a chime according to your taste and preference is also possible.
