This is an age-old problem: Connecting a Doorbell to the button on a Panasonic-type door box...
In the past I've used a ring-trip device that converts the ring voltage to a contact closure. I would wire this to a SLT port set to ring from the doorboxes only. Since the Panasonic ring cycle made the doorbell ring obnoxiously (on-off, on-off, on-off), I had to add a timer device. But since the ring cycle would keep triggering the timer, I had to use 2 timers! A) Ring cycle trips ring voltage-to-contact B) This contact-closure trips first timer set for once every 30 seconds, the length of the Panasonic ring cycle. C) First timer trips second which has a minimum cycle which activates the doorbell. You adjust the reset time so you get the ding-dong effect. Complicated, but it works. If you don’t understand this, please don’t bother to reply. I am not going to take the time to explain any further! ;-) I am wondering if anyone has other suggestions to get a doorbell to ring when the Panasonic doorbox button is pushed. Since Panasonic uses one pair for both activation and talk-path, this is challenging... I tried hooking the timer up directly to the button, but there is enough voltage present on the timer to continuously activate the Panasonic doorbox. Wwwhhheeewww... it probably took me longer to write this than it would to convince my clients that they don’t need a ding-dong doorbell! )(*$^%([EMAIL PROTECTED]& ding-dong clients... :-0 Thanks, Marc Halberg La Jolla, CA www.ephoneman.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
