u 24 VDC, filtered or FWR
u Adjustable volume and tone
These Wheelock CH70 Square Chimes provide a low
current draw, a choice of single‑stroke or vibrating
operation, an adjustable sound level, and a chime tone
adjustable from 800 Hz to 1200 Hz. They also have an

a variety of electrical boxes.
Functions
Sound Mode Settings
The chimes are factory set in single‑stroke mode. They
can be changed to vibrating mode before wiring by
moving a jumper.
Single‑Stroke Mode
The minimum input pulse duration must be at least
160 ms on and 160 ms off. The chime only operates
once each time it is pulsed. Use this mode for coded
systems.
Vibrating Mode
Continuous input voltage must be applied to the chime
to activate the chime at 1 sec intervals.
Volume and Tone Settings
The volume and tone controls are factory set to ensure
maximum dBA output. The volume and tone can be
tuned to suit a particular application, but appropriate
u Single‑stroke or vibrating tone
measurements must be taken to ensure the volume
meets the listing requirements for private mode fire
protective service per UL464.
