How to install the doorbell in new construction, using a 9V battery
This installation
method has the advantage of not having to deal with houshold electrical
current, and there are fewer connections to make. A 9V alkaline battery
will last 1-2 years and frequently longer, depending on usage. The musical
doorbell is designed for an extremely low standby current to prolong battery
life.
Note: Be sure that the AC/DC switch on the back of the Musical Doorbell is in the DC position.
Remove the jumpers on the back of the unit. Only non-lighted pushbuttons are supported in
this type of installation.
Follow the wiring
diagram below for proper connection. One wire from the front doorbell
goes to the F terminal, the other goes to the T terminal. Similarly, the back
dorrbell button connects to the B terminal and to the T
terminal. Connect a good quality
alkaline 9V battery to the battery clip provided in the rear doorbell
compartment.
With
this installation method, the diode included with the doorbell is not
required and can be discarded.
