They are simple, straightforward and reliable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be fitted by a qualified electrical engineer only *by P***R on 9 July 2019* The product is fit for purpose bought it to run a Ring Video Door Bell it was easy to fit but like all electrical products should be fitted by a qualified electrical engineer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Bell Transformer ! *by S***D on 28 July 2019* I wanted a reliable bell transformer and having had Friedland stuff before I opted for this one. When it came it was actually a Honeywell branded one but had the same model number (i.e. E3538N) and when I researched I found the Honeywell is actually the parent company of Friedland, so I wasn't worried. Honeywell also own the great brand of MK too.. all quality goods I have used over they years, so don't be alarmed if you also receive the Honeywell version, it is literally just the branding, the product is exactly the same. I wanted a transformer for surface mounting (it actually mounts on an aluminium plate in my case) rather than the more common versions that mount inside the Consumer Box onto a DIN rail, as they take up two spaces in the box, and I only had one free anyway. I must point out that this transformer CAN be fitted in a Consumer Unit DIN Rail as well, if you have the space, it is dual purpose, but most transformers that are designed to fit in Consumer Units can't be wall mounted like this one, because they have 'open terminals' where the mains side of the transformer terminals aren't covered, dangerous ! As I had a similar Friedland transformer before (8v rather than this one which is 12v) it made sense to get a replacement that would be easy to wire in, so that I didn't have to change the wiring - it was literally a matter of swopping over the transformer, took me 10 minutes. One thing that wasn't at all clear in the instructions is that I had to remove the little nylon spring loaded fitting that normally 'clips' the transformer onto the DIN Rail of a Consumer Unit. If you put the transformer flat on a table you will notice the one end is lifted up by the this nylon spring. so I pulled the spring (it is really a strip of nylon in a 'U' shape) out, fortunately it came out easily, then I removed the plastic piece that the spring attached too, but that will literally fall out after removing the spring. You MUST remove both of these anyway, otherwise you cannot get the screw though the 'slot' in tha plastic piece I mentioned, once removed you will see there are TWO screw holes that you can fasten the transformer to a wall. The bottom hole (on the mains side of the transformer) is slotted, whereas the top hole (on the 12v side) is a conventional screw hole. I put a screw in the 'slotted; one first, and tightened it enough to secure it but no more, and I then aligned and put in the screw in the normal screw hole, so I could align it perfectly, I then made sure were both tightened but not overtightened ! The final job is to push on the two covers, (they click in place) over the bell side and mains side, so as to literally cover the actual terminals. I did have to widen the cut-out on the mains side cover though, you may have to do the same. Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to cover any problem you might encounter, and that was not covered in the transformers instructions. Still I am very happy with the product and I looks really well, and I am sure will last many years. ## Frequently Bought Together - Honeywell Home Friedland E3538N Bell Transformer VDE 1 - Honeywell Home Wired or Wireless Doorbell - Battery Operated with Halo Light, Sleep Mode & 200m Range - Horizontal Compact Doorbell with LED Alerts - White (DW915S) - Honeywell Home E3554N Klingeltransormator VDE 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/60719309-honeywell-home-friedland-e3538n-bell-transformer-vde-1](https://www.desertcart.us/products/60719309-honeywell-home-friedland-e3538n-bell-transformer-vde-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
