Connecting a Heath Zenith Doorbell 172C-A
I have a Heath Zenith Doorbell 172C-A that I'm trying to use as a buzzer for a science project, similar to how the game of Operation is setup, curcuitry-wise, but not sure how to connect it...any thoughts? Thanks.

Do you have a transformer with it? Apparently this doorbell can operate on AC or DC (3-6VDC or 8-16VAC). The usual method is to supply 110 VAC to a transformer with an output of about 16VAC. ------ BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WHEN DEALING WITH 110VAC. HAVE A CAPABLE ADULT HELP YOU WITH THIS! ------- Connect one of the two outputs from the transformer to one of the terminals on the bell (this might be labeled COMMON) The other output from the transformer will go to your handheld lead (like in the Operation game). Connect a lead from your patient (as in the Operations game) to a terminal on the bell which is probably labeled for AC.
