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).
