CHIME REPLACEMENT INSTALLATION

Note: Electrical work must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

1. Verify transformer power rating. Power must be supplied from a 16 Volt AC, 10 Watt or a 16 Volt AC, 15 Watt transformer when connecting to a regular doorbell button.
2. Remove cover from existing chime by gently using a flathead screwdriver on the side of the chime. If used, remove rubberbands and hardware packet from the chime base.
3. Label all wires before disconnecting. Using masking tape, mark each wire according to existing chime terminal markings,
   • “F"— Front Push Button Wire
   • “T” - T ransformer Wire
   • “R"— Rear Push Button Wire*
4. Disconnect all wires from existing chime.
5. Remove existing chime base from wall.
6. Determine proper chime base orientation, The chime cover style may determine orientation.
7. Route wires through wire entrance hole in new chime base.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Chime does not sound:

• Check Chime: Disconnect wire from terminal marked “TRANS”. Have someone operate push button at front door while you momentarilytouch the “TRANS” wire to terminal marked “FRONT”. You will see a small spark if push button, wiring, and transformer are operating properly. Repeat the steps for “REAR” terminal and rear push button. If wiring between transformer and push button(s) check out properly, replace chime.
• Check Transformer: Test transformer voltage output with a voltmeter. If a volt meter is not available, momentarilytouch the two low-voltage terminals with a screwdriver. You will see a small spark if transformer is operating properly. If no spark is evident, replace transformer.
• Check Push Button(s): Remove suspected push button from door frame, discon nectwire from terminals and touch bare wires together. If chime operates, push button is defective. Replace push button.
