INSTALLING THE PUSHBUTTONS

A diode must be added to the front door pushbutton so that power will be supplied continuously to the Musical Chime while the tune is playing.

The diode is packed inside an envelope that is located between the baseplate and the chime's housing.

A diode is not required at the back door pushbutton.

To add the diode to the front door's pushbutton:

1.

Remove the pushbutton from the door jamb or wall.

2. Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5. Depending upon which

 

type of pushbutton is being used, wire the diode to the

 

two (2) terminals on the pushbutton.

3.

Press the front door pushbutton and listen for the

4. If the tune stops playing as soon as you remove your

finger from the pushbutton, the diode is installed

backwards. Simply reverse the wiring connections

on the pushbutton and test the chime again. The tune

should continue playing even after the pushbutton

is released.

5. Tighten the terminal screws and replace the pushbutton

in the door jamb or wall. Note: on metal siding, place a

small piece of insulating tape on the surface opposite

the diode to prevent shorting.

NOTE: If you are using a lighted pushbutton, the

bulb's brightness will be reduced 30-40%. This is
