Two-Note Door Chime

MODEL: LB-18, LB-76 SERIES

• Designed for two-door operation.

• Model LB-76 is designed to be used with a NuTone

Radio-Intercom system.

WIRING CAUTIONS: Before installing the transformer

through the wiring's insulation. When drilling into walls,
be careful not to damage existing electrical cables.

All wiring must comply with local codes or the
National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with
electrical wiring installation methods, secure the
services of a qualified electrician.
