How do you install the chime? do you need a diode to use it?

My unit came with a diode across the button. When I later replaced the doorbell button, I had to move the diode to my new button.

All the chimes are pre set. It is simple to choose the chime you want. I am not sure what a diode is. I just installed it and it has been working ever since.

We didn't get any instructions with it. It came with one which we didn't use. My husband believes the diode is if we had a lighted (sp) door bell button. Which we don't.

The door bellwas broken so we had to return it. Sory we couldn't be a help.

I had no trouble installing the door bell. If you have two wires from your old door bell that is all you need. You may or may not need the diode. Try installing the bell with out it. If it does not work then you need the diode. I have install two door bells at different houses and I needed the diode on both bells. There are installation instructions on line with illustrations if you need more detail.Everyone that rings the bell thinks the music is great. It is a great conservation piece.

The unit came with a diode...I followed the instruction to install it. It is working fine.

Yes you do need the chime as well. I bought the chime and 1 button set through Amazon and a second spare button for my back door. Here's the set Honeywell RCWL300A1006 Premium Portable Wireless Door Chime and Push Button

What I see pictured here is just the wireless push button that activates the chime unit.Yes you do need to buy the chime unit. The chime unit I bought came with one of the wireless push buttons pictured here. We bought two additional ones to cover every door in our home. We have had the unit for several months now and it works great. We are very pleased with the Honeywell system.

Yes, this is how I have mine setup. One chime in the basement and one upstairs. Then I have a front door and rear door button and each is setup to do a different chime sound.

I don't know. I don't have one of those door chimes. It works well with the Honeywell Home security panel, even mounted on a metal building approximately 75 feet from the panel.

This only has one bell unit(the small blue box), and the other two are receivers to the chime. You can install those anywhere in the house. I'm not sure if you can buy two sets and use two bells for the same receivers. That may be the option.

Hi Rick--you have to provide your own transformer (and/or batteries), and buttons. I purchased Heath Zenith 121AC Wired Door Chime Transformer and two NuTone PB7LSN Wired One-Lighted Door Chime Push Button, Satin Nickel Finish. I also separately purchased some doorbell wire, I think 18AWG (18 gauge). I think you can get a higher gauge number (thinner) but I was making long runs to the back and front doors of my commercial building, so wanted to have more copper for the long runs of wire. I specifically wanted a hard-wired doorbell because wireless has not been very reliable for me, and I needed complete reliability.

No, it doesn't, but you do raise an interesting point. In using these units I've found that the inclusion of some type of "Chime" like those used with cell phones would be most welcome and useful.

The chime uses two metal chimes and can be wired to only use one chime if you needed a secondary doorbell like a backdoor.

What i did was i attached this remote to the second floor chime that already is Pre wired from the front door. And i Installed the second chime that is compatible with the remote on the first floor. This way both the chimes work when someone presses the switch on front door. This remote comes with complete instructions on how to do that.

Make sure the wires aren't touching in the chime (where you connected the device). May need to rearrange them.

I want it. The sound is loud 'enuff but the chime doesn't ring and I am confused as to how to make it work. I did finally get the battery section opened and inside were directions.... but as to how to make the light work is confusing. I would think it would automatically work when batteries are installed but it isn't.

I have not been able to get two chime units to work off single button. Information below appears incorrect. Would appreciate info if someone has found how to do it.

It comes with 6 pre-installed chimes that you can choose from. I did not see any way to add a custom chime other than those it comes with.

The door buzzer runs on a battery.You can permanently attach it or decide to carry it with you. Each of the two chimes has an electrical plug. You just plug them into any outlet.I I have one in the kitchen, that covers my kitchen, dining room and living room. The other is in my TV room that also covers my bedroom and bathroom. If finding an outlet to plug them into is a problem, I suggest you buy a type that has a battery in the chime.

The chime is an on wall mounted unit. So it will be on the wall. If you order a wall flush unit then when mounted it will be flush with the wall. In my case I didn't want to break the wall to make room for a flush unit so I went with the on the wall. I hope I understood your concern and what I wrote will help.

Make sure it lays flat, or has room to lay flat. My windows have a bump so I cant even use mine. The chime is loud enough for an apt or small house, esp if you're a deep sleeper. If you have a house I would recommend either mult of these units or a different system all together.
