tRoUBlEshootIng — BattERY-PoWEREd ChImE BasE
Chime does not sound:
• Make sure push button and chime codes are the same (see Figure 12).
• Check orientation of push button and chime batteries (See diagram inside push button and chime for correct battery orientation.)
• Check charge of push button and chime batteries, replace if necessary.
Chime sounds when not intended (false triggers):
Chime is receiving interference from another wireless device; change the code setting (see Code Setting below).
Batteries seem OK, but the chime does not work when installed:
• Do not mount chime or push button on stucco, metal, or near metal studs. This reduces the transmitter range. Use 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13
mm) wood shims to move chime or push button off metal surface.
• Concrete floors may reduce range. Move chime away from floor.
• Try locating chime closer to push button.
Code setting:
It is recommended to only change one code position at a time and then check to see if system is functioning properly.
1.
Open the cases and locate the dip switches or jumpers on both the push button and chime (see Figure 12).
2.
The chime has 7 jumper locations and the push button has eight different dip switch or jumper locations. Positions 1 through 7 are used
for setting the code.
3.
To change the code, either:
• Add a jumper to the chime and add a jumper to the same location in push button or set the matching push button dip switch to ON
or...
• Remove a jumper from the chime and remove a jumper from the same location in push button or set the matching push button dip
switch to OFF or...
