Amazon.com Product Description
Worried that you won't be able to hear the doorbell when you're in the garden, garage, or basement? With Heath Zenith's wireless SL-6168, you can simply pick up the chime and take it with you (it plugs in to a standard polarized socket). To install, all you need to do is mount the doorbell and plug in the chime-no electrical installation is needed.

The volume of the chime is adjustable, and you can select one of three different chimes. You can also change the code settings (which allow the doorbell to communicate with the chime) to make sure your neighbor's wireless systems don't set of your chime. The SL-6168 gives you the added benefit of an entry-alert sensor that sets off a chime every time the door is opened or closed.

Note that the battery for the push button is included, along with all the mounting hardware you'll need.--Josh Dettweiler

What's in the Box
Plug-in chime, door-sensor/transmitter with battery, door magnet, magnet spacer, hardware pack

5 out of 5 stars Exceeded My Expectation   November 11, 2009
M. Hur
Just installed in a small two story retail boutique setting. The sensor is on the first floor in the back, the receiver/chime second floor in the front. Works every time. The magnet is about 3/4" from the sensor which exceeds the recommended gap, but it still works. The instruction says three tone settings are possible: Westminster, Ding-Dong, and Ding. I'm using Ding-Dong. I've ordered another one, so that I can install it on the front door as well. I'll use the Ding tone to distinguish it from the back door. I'll place the second receiver on the first floor. So far, this is working great. An included spacer will come in handy for the glass swing door in front. I wish they sold the sensor separately so that I don't have to buy another receiver. But, at that price, I don't really mind. The "jumpers" are awkward for adult-sized hands, but I figure they keep the cost down.


1 out of 5 stars Sounds like a good idea, only if it worked.   September 15, 2009
Clinton Buhler (Cleveland, Ohio USA)
I ordered this unit to replace our broken Radio Shack door chime that served us in a commercial environment for about 10 years and is no longer made. This model was one of the few that had the features that we needed. We needed a door tripped sensor which wirelessly transferrs to the chime back in our offices so we could hear customers comming in to our store. The range is nowhere near the specified number. It works most of the time within about 15ft of the transmitter, but that won't work for our application. Even at 15ft it didn't work every time. We'd have customers standing in the showroom for awhile wondering if there was anybody there. It really sucks pretty bad. I don't recommend it. It's not reliable.


3 out of 5 stars Entry chime--NOT A DOORBELL!   September 3, 2009
Deborah Lorraine (Davis, CA United States)
I should have paid heed to another warning that this product is NOT a doorbell, and now I am stuck with a entry alert that is worthless to me. I read the comment but for some reason I believed another commenter who claimed it WAS a doorbell; he must have made the same mistake I did: After looking at about a dozen products and having several in my cart at one point, it was hard to keep track of what was a doorbell vs. an entry chime. It is probably a great product if you actually are shopping for a entry-alert sensor (good for those backdoors where you have a pool). I liked the wireless feature and the fact that you can move the chime around by just plugging into another wall outlet. I thought about using it anyway, but my husband doesn't want to screw the sensor and transmitter into the door and doorjam. We will probably donate it to goodwill.

The range is not very far on this chime. Works great if you want the chime fairly close to the door, but not if you wanted it in another room.
