If the ADC-VDB770 is not ringing the indoor chime when triggered, use the following steps to troubleshoot the behavior.
Verify the original chime and doorbell button function properly
Reconnect the original doorbell to the chime to test.
Verify the LED does not double-blink blue after pressing the button
Press the doorbell button. If the LED double-blinks blue, see What does the double-blinking blue LED on the ADC-VDB770 mean?.
Verify the installation meets the power and wiring requirements
Power requirements
AC transformer | 16-30V AC, 10-30VA* |
---|---|
DC transformer | 15-30V DC, 8W minimum* |
*Important: The power module included with the ADC-VDB770 is required for every installation. For more information about the power module, see Power module for the ADC-VDB770 - User Guide.
Wiring the power module
- Verify the power module's gray wires are connected to the transformer and the ADC-VDB770. No polarity.
- Verify the power module's white wires are connected to the chime's Front/Rear and Trans terminals (or to a 10 Watt 10 Ohm resistor if there is no chime). Typically no polarity.
- For digital chimes, if the indoor chime stops functioning properly after attaching the white wires, reverse the polarity of the wires and test again.
- When installing the power module, verify the chime's functionality is unobstructed (e.g., do not attach the power module to a mechanical chime between the striker plate and plunger).
For more details about wiring, see Wire the ADC-VDB770 to a chime or Wire the ADC-VDB770 without a chime.
