NEW INSTALLATION WIRING
WARNING: Turn power off at fuse or
circuit breaker before installing
transformer. Follow all national and
local codes.
1. Mount Transformer: Transformers
should be mounted on or near a
junction box. They can also be
mounted to the electrical service
panels. Junction boxes in utility
rooms, crawl spaces, or basements
are preferred. Avoid attic locations.
2. Install 16 Volt, 10 Watt transformer
according to the instructions supplied
with transformer.
Note: For multiple
mechanical chimes, use a 16 Volt,
15 Watt transformer. Failure to use
a transformer with adequate power
will result in loss of sound or may re-
sult in the system being inoperative.
3. Run two No. 20 AWG or better bell
wires (Heath ® /Zenith No. 196C or No.
199C accessory wire) to the chime
location. Strip away 1/2" of insulation
from end of wires. Connect each wire
to transformer (see Figure 1).
4. Label Transformer Wires: Using masking tape or wire tags provided on packaging, label one
wire “T” and the other “C”.
