LRA-EX1000S Doorbell Extender to Hear Wired Doorbell in Home

The LRA-EX1000S Doorbell Extender with Plugin Receiver and Strobe Light

The LRA-EX1000S-L is a Plugin Chime Kit to Extend the Wired Doorbell Sound Through Your Home.  Do you have trouble hearing the wired doorbell in your home? Do you have areas where you can’t hear your doorbells, such as the basement or an upstairs bedroom?  A doorbell extender will do the trick.

This doorbell extender kit features a wireless doorbell transmitter – that easily wires into your existing wired doorbell – and a plugin receiver.    Connect the transmitter to your wired doorbell (following the instructions), plug in the flashing strobe receiver, pair the units together, and you have easily increased the sound of your current wired doorbell.  When a visitor pushes the wired doorbell button outside your home, your wired doorbell will work as usual.  Simultaneously, the wireless transmitter wired into the doorbell ) will send a wireless signal to the plug-in receiver.  Depending on the operating mode the receiver is set to, it will flash the strobe, play a melody, or both.

The LRA-EX1000S doorbell extender kit ships with one plugin receiver. However, add additional plug-in chimes to hear the sound in other rooms.  The LRA-DCRXS is the plug-in receiver that ships with this kit and is available to purchase separately as an add-on unit to expand the sound to other rooms.  For example, you might plug a receiver into your living room and also purchase add-ons to put a receiver in the kitchen, upstairs bedroom, basement, garage, etc.    Not only is the LRA-DCRXS available, but there are also a series of other transmitters (motion sensor, door contacts, push buttons, etc.) and two other receivers like the LRA-DCRX Multi-Zone Receiver and the LRA-VPRX Portable Receiver that are all compatible.

What does a doorbell extender do?

The transmitter in this kit wires into the existing wired doorbell in your home.  It is compatible with wired chimes that play a “ding” or “ding-dong” sound. NOTE: the extender will not work with video doorbells and intercom systems.  The transmitter is easy to install using the included instructions.  The transmitter works with up to two doors.  For example, your existing wired doorbell may play “ding-dong” for the front door and “dong” for the back door.  The transmitter extender may be set up to play one melody when the front door button is pressed and a different melody when the back doorbell push button is pressed.  If your existing wired doorbell is only wired for the front door, that’s also okay.

These are long-range products that ensure they work in most environments.  Many people have negative experiences with wireless doorbell products, and that’s because the wireless range (from transmitter to receivers) for products purchased at hardware stores tends to be 150 ft. max.  These are line of sight numbers, and any building materials, such as walls, doors, etc., will reduce the transmission range.  For example, a brick wall will reduce the wireless signal by 60%-70%, and each interior wall will reduce the signal by another 30%-40%.  Doing the math, you can easily see why our LRA products, with a 1,000 ft. range, dramatically improve over a wireless product with a 150 ft. range.

• Kit ships with 1 x LRA-DCRXS Plugin Chime Receiver & 1 x LRA-EXTX Doorbell Extender Transmitter.
• There is no limit to the number of LRA series receivers (LRA-DCRXS, LRA-DCRX, LRA-VPRX) each transmitter may be paired with.  For example, the LRA-EXTX extender may be paired with five plug-in receivers you have placed throughout your home.
• The wireless range from the transmitter to the receiver is up to 1,000 ft. line-of-sight.  Environmental and building materials will reduce the wireless range.

LRA-EXTX Features:

• Transmitter dimensions: 2-1/4” L x 2-1/4” W x 1/2” D (wires to connect to wired doorbell are approximately 9” each).
• Transmitter wires into existing wired doorbell (usually hanging in the home’s foyer).
• It only works with standard wired doorbells that play traditional ding-dong-type sounds.
• Includes connections for front and back doors—one melody for the front door and one for the back door.
• Powered by an extremely long-lasting lithium battery (CR123A) that should last many years without changing.
• Typically, the transmitter is mounted on a wall slightly above the wired doorbell cabinet.  In some cases, you may be able to hide the transmitter inside the doorbell cabinet.
