paneling, furniture and other obstacles- walls, in particular reinforced concrete walls and ceilings lead to a

reduction in range.

The WC180 Flashing Door Chime Kit is a wireless plug-in chime system designed to provide an audible and visual alert when a connected transmitter is activated. This system is ideal for residential use, offering convenience and ease of installation without the need for complex wiring. The kit includes a transmitter (pushbutton) and a plug-in receiver, allowing for flexible placement and operation.

Function Description:

The primary function of the WC180 Flashing Door Chime Kit is to alert users to the activation of a remote pushbutton. When the transmitter is pressed, it sends a wireless radio signal to the receiver. Upon receiving this signal, the receiver produces an audible chime and flashes, providing both auditory and visual notifications. This dual alert system ensures that users are aware of an activation, even in noisy environments or if they have hearing impairments. The system is designed for straightforward operation, making it accessible for a wide range of users. The wireless nature of the device eliminates the need for extensive wiring, simplifying installation and allowing for greater flexibility in placement. The system operates on a standard 120V AC mains power supply for the receiver, while the transmitter is battery-powered, ensuring portability and ease of installation near any door.

Usage Features:

The WC180 Flashing Door Chime Kit offers several user-friendly features that enhance its functionality and adaptability.

Easy Transmitter Setup: The transmitter requires a single 3V CR2032 button cell battery, which is inserted with the positive side up, observing polarity. To install the transmitter, users need to locate a suitable position next to the door, avoiding metal surfaces to optimize radio signal transmission. Two 4.76mm holes are drilled, wall plugs are inserted, and the back plate is secured with supplied screws (2.6 x 26mm BA type). A wood or cardboard shim is recommended under the pushbutton if mounting on metal or stucco surfaces to improve radio signal emanation. Once the back plate is secured, the cover is closed.
Simple Receiver Plug-in: The receiver is designed for convenience, plugging directly into a standard 120V AC mains two-flat-pin socket. This eliminates the need for additional power adapters or complex wiring.
Learn Mode for Pairing: The system features a "Learn" mode, indicated by a specific symbol on the receiver. To initiate pairing, the user presses the "Learn" button once, and the receiver responds with two beeps, confirming it is in learn mode.
Transmitter Pairing and Melody Selection: After the receiver enters learn mode, the user presses the transmitter once. The chime receiver will sound, indicating successful signal learning. Users can then repeatedly press the transmitter to cycle through the built-in chime tunes until the desired melody is heard. The kit offers three distinct chime tunes: "ding ding," "ding dong," and "Westminster 4-note chime."
Exiting Learn Mode: To exit learn mode, the user can either press the "Learn" button again (the receiver will sound two beeps) or simply wait approximately 20 seconds, after which the receiver will automatically exit learn mode.
Confirmation of Selection: Once the tune is selected and learn mode is exited, pressing the transmitter will cause the receiver to sound the chosen tune and flash, confirming the successful setup.
Multiple Transmitter Support: The receiver is capable of learning and pairing with up to four separate transmitters. This feature allows users to connect multiple pushbuttons (e.g., for front and back doors) to a single receiver, providing comprehensive coverage. The pairing process for additional transmitters is the same as for the first one.
Working Range: The chime receiver is designed to operate effectively within a working range of 125 feet from the transmitter, offering ample flexibility for placement within most homes.
Factory Pre-setting: For immediate use, the transmitter and receiver are pre-linked at the factory, and the melody is set to "ding ding" before shipment.

Maintenance Features:

The WC180 Flashing Door Chime Kit is designed for minimal maintenance, focusing on user convenience and long-term reliability.

Battery Replacement: The transmitter operates on a 3V CR2032 button cell battery. When the battery runs low, it can be easily replaced by opening the transmitter cover with a small screwdriver and inserting a new battery, ensuring correct polarity.
Erasing Learned Transmitters: If users wish to clear all paired transmitters from the receiver's memory, the system provides an erase function. By pressing and holding the "Learn" button on the receiver for approximately 15 seconds, the receiver will sound four beeps, indicating that all learned transmitters have been successfully erased. This is useful for reconfiguring the system or troubleshooting.
Signal Strength Considerations: Users should be aware that the radio signal's strength can be affected by environmental factors such as walls, paneling, furniture, and other obstacles. Reinforced concrete walls and ceilings, in particular, can significantly reduce the operating range. While not a maintenance task, understanding this limitation helps users optimize placement for best performance.
Troubleshooting Radio Interference: In cases of potential radio interference, users are advised to consider measures such as reorienting or relocating the receiving antenna, increasing the separation between the equipment and receiver, connecting the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit, or consulting a dealer or experienced radio/TV technician for assistance. These steps help ensure optimal signal reception and reliable operation.

The WC180 Flashing Door Chime Kit offers a practical, wireless solution for door alerting, combining ease of installation, versatile usage features, and straightforward maintenance to provide a reliable and convenient experience for homeowners.
