The Same Doorbell You Love with
the Added Security You Need
The PrimeChime® Plus2 keeps all the popular features of NICOR’s PrimeChime Plus®
electronic doorbell and now adds compatibility with most video doorbell buttons.
The PRCP2 combines both line voltage and low voltage into a single unit and oers
a paintable, screwless faceplate for simple installation and a seamless look. Separate
ring tones for front and rear doors allows you to keep track of exactly which door
to answer. NICOR’s lighted button makes your doorbell easily visible to visitors at all
times of day, welcoming them to your home.
FAQ
Why doesn’t the PRCP2 have a ground wire?
The PRCP2 has been evaluated by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) to not require a
ground wire due to its all plastic construction.
How do I wire up my doorbell?
The PRCP2 uses the same 2-wire method as a standard door bell. Wires from ports
one and two should be connected to the two terminals on the back of your doorbell.
See the installation instructions for more detail.
How do I remove the wires from the back of the unit they seem stuck?
To remove the low voltage wiring, press down on the small button on the correct
wire port. A small screwdriver may help fully depress the button. Then pull on the
wire and it should lift free. Do not pull on the wire prior to pressing the button as it
may cause the clamp to bite into the wire
Do I need to use the “diode kit”/”power kit” that came with my doorbell?
In general no. The PRCP2 provides the correct voltage and power requirements for
most video doorbells without the use of a diode kit.
Why is my Doorbell ringing constantly?
The PrimeChime is a patented electronic system that must have a compatible
button installed. If the NICOR button or a compatible video doorbell has been
replaced with a standard door button the unit will ring constantly. Replace the
button with a NICOR PRCP2 button or a compatible video doorbell.
