See Diode Installation Instructions (page 5) after completing steps 1 through 10 below. Note: Electrical work must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. 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.
Route wires through wire entrance hole in new chime base. Mount chime base to wall using screws and anchors provided. (Drill 7/32" diameter pilot hole for wall anchors.) 10. 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 2). 11.

Hang cover on cover pin. • For snap-on type cover: Apply pressure to the cover until it snaps into place (see Figure 4). Firmly grasp cover and pull to remove from base. Note: Never use cleaners or polishes. Never use any fluids on the electronic chime mechanism. Use dry cloth to clean chime cover and base.
DIODE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS A small electrical component called a “diode” is required for this chime to play the entire eight-note tune. This diode must be installed on the terminal screws of the front door push button (see Figure 5). 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 eight-note melody, see Troubleshooting, page 6.
-6- Chime does not sound: 598-1224-00 TROUBLESHOOTING • 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.
