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
Musical Chime to play.
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
normal and will increase life of the bulb.
TUNE LABEL
AND TUNE SELECTION
TUNE LABEL
Refer to Figure 6. The tune label is packaged in the same
envelope as the diode.
If the Musical Chime has been mounted in the horizontal
position, tear off and discard the bottom of the label. Peel off
the back and mount the label on the inside surface of the
d o o r .
If the Musical chime has been mounted in the vertical
position, tear the label at both perforations, discard the top
portion and mount the tune list and instructions side by side
on the inside surface of the door.
TUNE SELECTION
The Musical Chime will play 1 of 24 tunes at the front door
and 2 notes of a tune at the rear door.
Refer to the Tune List and to Figure 7. Move the
switches to the desired tune. Example: For "A Bicycle Built
For Two" to be the selected tune, set the switches to "1" "A".
Press the TUNE TEST button. Set the loudness, speed
and pitch of the tune by adjusting the VOLUME, TEMPO and
TONE controls respectively. Turn the controls clockwise to
increase or counterclockwise to decrease.
NOTE: Position 5E does not play a tune. The chime
is in the off position.
