Chime Volume Control

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Important considerations: The sensor/transmitter must be mounted to the

Installation

door jamb. The magnet should be attached to the door. To prevent vandalism and increase battery life, the sensor/transmitter should be installed inside.

To install the battery in the transmit-

ter remove the back of the case

by pushing in the tab on the bottom with a small screwdriver

and rotating the blade.

Install an alkaline type A23 12 Volt battery. The positive terminal should be positioned as shown.

Test the location of the sensor/transmitter. Hold the transmitter on the door jamb with one hand, and the magnet with the other as shown. Take the magnet away, and the chime should sound.

Alignment Marks

The edge of the magnet must be within 2 (13 mm) in. of the edge of the transmitter, the alignment marks must be positioned as shown, and the front surfaces of the magnet and transmitter should be as nearly flush with each other as possible. It may be necessary to use the spacer under the magnet to obtain the correct spacing.

Use either screws or double-sided tape to mount the magnet and transmitter.

Attach the back of the case to the door jamb or wall. Snap

the front of the transmitter and magnet back on.

When attaching the magnet or transmitter using the double-sided tape, make sure the surface is clean.

Code and Tune Settings

Note: Most installations will not require you to change any of the jumpers on your doorbell. WARNING: Disconnect chime unit from power source before opening code access door. Close door and replace screw before reconnecting to power.

The transmitter and chime communicate by using a code that can be changed by removing and/or adding jumpers on both the transmitter and chime. The code is factory set; however, there are 128 selectable codes that allow you to expand your system and prevent outside interference. Another wireless doorbell system or other wireless products may cause interference and the system may not function properly. Follow the instructions below for setting a new code.

1. Disconnect the power to the transmitter and chime.

2. Open the cases and locate the jumpers on both the transmitter and chime (See illustration).

3. The transmitter and chime both have eight different jumper locations. The jumper positions 1 through 7 are used for setting the code.

4. To change the code, add and/or remove jumpers as needed. There are 128 different combinations. It is recommended to only change one jumper at a time and then check to see if system is functioning properly. Note: Jumpers in positions 1 through 7 must be exactly the same for both the transmitter and chime for this system to function.

Troubleshooting

Chime does not sound:

• Red light on the transmitter does not light. Check battery polarity. Replace the transmitter battery.

• Red light on the transmitter does light. Make sure the transmitter and the chime channels are the same (See page 4). Make sure the plug-in chime has power going to it.

Battery seems OK, but the chime does not work when installed:

• Do not mount the transmitter on metal or near metal studs. This reduces the transmitter range. Use 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) wood shims to move the transmitter off the metal surface.

•Try different locations for the chime closer to the transmitter.

The range of the door sensor system depends on location, temperature, and battery condition.
