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.
2. Remove cover from existing chime.
3. Label all wires before disconnecting. Using masking tape, mark
each wire according to existing chime terminal markings.
• “F” – Front Push Button Wire
• “T” – Transformer 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. Determine cover mounting type. For hang pin and hole type
covers, hang pin should be installed before mounting base to
wall. Install hang pin by snapping into mounting hole or sliding
onto chime base, depending on type of hang pin (see Figures 1
and 3).

INSTALL CHIME COVER
Place chime cover securely over base.
• For hang pin and hole covers: Attach hang pin to base prior
to mounting base on wall. Line up hole in cover with pin and hang
(see Figure 3).
• For snap-on covers: Apply pressure to the cover until it snaps
into place (see Figure 4). Firmly grasp cover and pull to remove
from base.
• For hang bracket covers: Determine if the cover will hang
vertically or horizontally on the base. Place bracket into the correct slot inside chime cover.
Adjust bracket (if necessary) so that bracket is flush with back
surface of cover. Slide bracket into slot on base to hang cover (see
Figure 5).
Note: Never use cleaners or polishes. Never use any fluids on the
chime mechanism. Use dry cloth to clean chime cover and base.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Chime does not sound:
• Check Chime: Disconnect wire from terminal marked “TRANS”. Have someone operate push button at front door while you mo-
mentarily touch 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 volt meter. If a volt meter is not available, momentarily touch 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, disconnect wire from terminals and touch bare wires
together. If chime operates, push button is defective. Replace push button.
