Byron Butlers Bell Kit Installation and Operation Instruction

The pulley system inside the house

Mounting the Butlers Bell

Step 1:

By now the cord should be attached to the top of the black rod and have been passed
through the hole that was drilled in the wall for the cord. The inside wall plate (B) will hide
the hole for the cord on the inside of the house. Attach a pulley (1xA) using one of the
big srews (1xF). The screw should be at the back of the plate and the pulley on the front. The
cord comes through the silver hole then runs around the pulley. The inside wall plate (B)
can be positioned, so that when the cord comes through the wall it can go in all directions.
The other pulleys in the hardware pack allow you to manouvre the cord around the walls to
the Butlers Bell.

Warning: We advise that you use as little length of cord as possible, and as few pulleys
as possible. If a lot of cord is used the tension on the inner spring is lost in the cord.

Step 2:

Place the wall mounted stem (I) up against the wall. Depending on if your cord is
coming from the left or the right of the butlers bell.
CORD COMING FROM THE LEFT:
The brass arm needs to be past vertical with the top pointing in a north easterly direction (fig.1).
This is done by making sure that the inner spring is pointng down, facing south west (fig.2).
When the cord is attached to the brass arm it will pullback the arm to a vertical position causing
tension on the inner spring.
CORD COMING FROM THE RIGHT:
The brass arm needs to be past vertical with the top pointing in a north westerly direction.
This is done by making sure that the inner spring is piontng down, facing south east (fig.3).
When the cord is attached to the brass arm it will pullback the arm to a vertical position causing
tension on the inner spring.

Step 3:

When you have found the right postion, you can begin to mark out the holes in order to secure
the wall mounted stem (I). Once the holes are marked and drilled with the appropriate 6mm drill bit, insert
3 wall plugs (3 x E) and then fix the wall mounted stem to the wall using 3 screws (3xH).

Step 4:

Once the wall mounted spindle (I) is in place, replace the inner spring in your chosen direction (ref step 2).

Step 4:

After the inner spring is fitted. take the bell (L) and place on the wall mounted spindle (I). Making sure
that when the brass arm is in its vertical position you can feel the tension on the inner spring

Step 5:

Screw the rosette (K) onto the wall mounted stem (I) so that the components stay in place.

Step 6:

Now the butlers bell is mounted in position on the wall, the cord from the wall plate
pulley (B) needs to find its way to the bell. Sometimes this is very simple. For example,
If the inside wall plate (B) is at the right height for your butlers bell then the cord can
travel straight to the butlers bell. If the bell is below or above the wall plate then the angle
bracket has to be used. The wall plate sends the cord vertically up or down. The angle
bracket then sends the cord along the wall to the bell. (see below diagrams for alternative
mounting examples.

Step 7:

To attach the cord to the bell arm, pull the bell arm to the left (if your cord is coming
from the left) or to the right (if your cord is coming from the right), so that the cord can
be attached when the brass arm is vertical. Ensuring that the cord is taut, feed the cord
through the eyes at the top of the arm and tie a knot, so that the correct tension is
available for operation.

Step 8:

Congratulations, now sit back
and enjoy a cup of tea on us!
