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.
