NuTone LA-174 - Manual

INSTALLATION HINTS
• This Door Chime is recessed into the wall. The white louvered grille
is flush-mounted to the wall surface and may be painted.
• IMPORTANT: If the door chime is connected to a NuTone Radio-
Intercom System, the chime tones will be heard at all inside and
outside speaker locations (chime will not sound at door speaker).
The Door Chime must be wired in accordance with the Chime-To-
Intercom information that is included in this literature.
• If a NuTone Radio-Intercom System is not used, a door speaker
may be installed at the outside of the front door
so chime tones will be heard at that location.
• Use the NuTone transformer that has been supplied with the door
chime.
LOCATION
• Select a central location so the door chime will be heard throughout
the house.
• Select pushbutton location(s). This door chime can accommodate
up to three (3) door operations.
