Technical specifications indicate this system operates on the 433.92 MHz frequency band, providing a theoretical open-air range of 1,000 feet. The transmitter is rated IP44, which provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes, making it suitable for sheltered external mounting. The receiver module is an AC-powered plug-in unit that eliminates battery maintenance on the chime side. Field data suggests the signal can penetrate 2 to 3 standard drywall partitions, though mounting the transmitter directly to metallic surfaces like aluminum siding can significantly reduce the effective RF range due to the Faraday effect.
Internal component analysis identifies a standard CMOS sound chip containing 52 selectable tones with a peak output of approximately 110dB. As a non-smart RF appliance, the device operates without data logging, microphones, or camera sensors, ensuring localized privacy. The system does not support native integration with Zigbee or Wi-Fi networks but can be bridged using third-party RF sniffing hardware if digital automation is required. The transmitter relies on a proprietary battery, typically a CR2032 or 23A cell, to power the RF burst upon button depression.
Operational highlights for this unit include:
- Frequency: 433.92 MHz
- Ingress Protection: IP44
- Tone Selection: 52 options
If you require mobile alerts while away from home, the Newhouse Wireless Door Chime can be upgraded to a version with cloud connectivity. This device is an entry-level solution within the doorbell bundles with chimes classification.
