CHIME REPLACEMENT INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Proper installation requires a diode on the front door push button. See Diode Installation Instructions (page 5) after completing steps 1 through 13 below. Note: Electrical work must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Verify transformer power rating. Power must be supplied from a 16 Volt AC, 10 Watt or a 16 Volt AC, 15 Watt transformer (Heath®/Zenith models 122C, 121AC, or 125C).
Remove cover from existing chime.
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 (Note: Some installations may not include rear door push button.)
Disconnect all wires from existing chime.
Remove existing chime base from wall.
Determine proper chime base orientation. The chime cover style will determine orientation.
A cover pin is installed on two sides of the chime base. After determining correct orientation, remove, turn over, and reinstall the cover pin located on top of chime base (see Figure 1).
Illustrations may vary from actual chime unit.
Determine mounting location.
Note: The back of the chime Back of base is recessed to allow the base to cover the wire hole in the Chime Base wall when mounting the base to the wall.
Mount chime base to wall using screws and anchors provided (see Figure 2). (Drill 7/32″ diameter pilot hole for wall anchors.)
• Mount keyhole screw to wall leaving about 1/8″ (3 mm) of Keyhole the screw threads exposed.
Note: Keyhole slot is located Screw about 3/4″ (19 mm) from top of chime.
• Route wires through wire entrance hole in new chime base.
• Using keyhole on back of chime base, hang base on screw.
• Level chime base.
• Using the slots located in the bottom of the wire entrance Wires from Wall hole, insert second screw through whichever slot is horizontal and attach to wall and tighten.
Connect wire “F” to screw terminal marked “FRONT”. Connect wire “T” to screw terminal marked “TRANS”. Connect wire “R” to screw terminal marked “REAR” (See Figure 3). Note: Some installations may not include rear door push button.
Connect diode to front push button (see page 5).
Press the “TEST” button to verify the transformer is connected properly and to listen to the selected front door tune.
Hang cover on cover pin.
Note: Never use cleaners or polishes. Never use any fluids on the electronic chime mechanism. Use dry cloth to clean chime cover and base.

TUNE SELECTION (FRONT DOOR)

To Select a Tune to Play Each Time the Push Button is Pressed:

Turn or slide the tune selection switch (depending upon model) to select a tune.
Press the “TEST” button to hear the selected tune.
Adjust the “VOLUME” knob to the desired volume level.

DIODE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

A small electrical component called a “diode” is required for this chime to play the entire tune. This diode must be installed on the terminal screws of the front door push button (see Figure 4). If not already installed on push button, attach supplied diode as shown below. If, with the diode in place, the chime does not play the complete melody, see Troubleshooting, page 6.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Chime does not sound:

Check Chime: Disconnect wire from terminal marked “TRANS”. Have someone operate push button at front door while you momentarily 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.

Chime sounds but does not complete entire tune:

Check Diode on Front Push Button: Verify diode is attached securely to push button (see page 5). Chime may not function properly if a diode is installed on more than one push button.
Note: Some push buttons have pre-installed diodes. An additional diode should not be added if the push button has a pre-installed diode. If chime still does not play entire tune, replace diode (Type 1N4003-200V-1A, available at local electrical component supplier).
