Operation
The system operation should be quite straightforward.
Press the door chime button and the chime is sounded
throughout the system.
When activated by pressing any of the three door buttons, the
DC101 sends a command to the amp or controller to turn on or
"override" all zones to a preset volume then runs the chime
sound at a gain set by the installer.
After the door chime sound ends, all zones revert to their
previous volume and input states.
Occasionally the system may become confused if a door chime
was pressed while something else was going on in the
command system of the controller or amplifier controller. In
this case just change the input or shut the system down as
desired from any keypad. If this does not work turn the power
off then on to the controller or controller amp and the system
will reset.
