This customer used the ERA-UTDCR long-range wireless doorbell kit, with the DH920 buzzer wired into the ‘C’ relays on the back of the receiver. The push-button was mounted outside the cage. The buzzer receiver was placed inside the cage. When pushed, the push button triggered a wireless signal sent to the receiver, activating the buzzer sound.
