Product Description

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 door sensor 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

3.0 out of 5 stars Product Description is misleading!, August 2, 2007

This review is from: Heath Zenith SL-6168-D Wireless Plug-In Chime with Entry-Alert Sensor, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

Be warned! This item is NOT a doorbell or ringer, where people at your front door push a button to summon you. It is ONLY an entrance alarm/charm, for use in businesses to alert when a customer enters a shop!

In the picture, the middle sized item is a sensor/transmitter which you mount on the doorjam and the small one is a magnet, which you mount on the door. When the door opens and they separate, the chime sounds from the large item, which you plug into an outlet.

The description used the term "doorbell" several times.


It seems passable for its intended use, though the chine setup is somewhat complex, you use "jumpers" like you'd find on computer hardware to change settings. The volume adjusts well and the chine tone is clear

5.0 out of 5 stars I've bought it three times, February 2, 2008

This review is from: Heath Zenith SL-6168-D Wireless Plug-In Chime with Entry-Alert Sensor, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have been very pleased with this sensor. I just bought it for a third office. You can put the speaker anywhere within 100 feet so it doesn't have to be up front chiming at everyone in the waiting room. I want to be able to hear it when I am in the back of the office so I can put the speaker there......this is perfect for that. Plus the two small boxes that go on the door and frame are nice and small. Works perfect - great price.

I've had a Heath Wireless Plug-In Chime with Entry-Alert Sensor for over ten years. Just bought another one, for my son, for his mailbox. I use it for my mail alarm. Placed the sensor and magnet in the box, the bell unit is plugged inside house.... Saves trips to check the mail. Also, used it for a bell for disabled person's bedroom. (use a Heath-Zenith compatible button for this), it rings the same box as when my mailbox is opened. Never had a problem with the unit. Works great!
