Door Chime

MODEL: LB-14 SERIES

• Your NuTone Door Chime is designed for two-door

operation. For best results, use NuTone Model 101T

Transformer.

• Handle the door chime carefully as you would any

precision instrument.

• Comply with local wiring codes when installing the

door chime.

• If upon completion of the installation the chime does not

operate, check your installation against these instructions.

If the chime still does not operate, check the pushbutton(s)

for poor contact or loose connections and wiring for

short circuits.

• If chime plungers should ever become sluggish in their

movement, clean the plungers with a nonflammable

cleaning fluid and wipe dry. CAUTION: NEVER OIL

CHIME PLUNGERS.

the two pairs of tabs on the side of the frame should hold

the frame firmly in position.
