Requirements

Because the TD52 does not provide power, you need a third-party power supply (example) and third-party chimes (example).

Note: This guide only applies to 4 wire chimes. If you have a more traditional doorbell setup like the diagram below, see Traditional Doorbell Chime Wiring for TD52 for a detailed wiring guide.

How it works

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Intercom.

  2. Select your Verkada TD52 intercom and click Settings.

  3. Click I/O > Output and select Chime.

Wire your TD52

Note: This configuration was tested using a 12V UHPPOTE Power Supply (part #UT0431-01) and Hztyyier Bells (part #Hztyyier13y2arg8nm); you can find both on Amazon.com.

4-wire bells have 2 wires dedicated to power and 2 wires dedicated to triggering the bell sound. This procedure applies to a single doorbell (or multiple doorbells) wired in parallel, as shown in the image.

  1. Remove the terminal block from the rear of your TD52.

  2. For each doorbell, wire bell+ and bell– to the NO and COM outputs on the intercom terminal block, respectively.

  3. For each doorbell, wire positive voltage and ground to the positive voltage output and ground on your power supply, respectively.

  4. Reinsert the terminal block into the intercom.

Example: For multiple doorbells, wire in parallel
