Door Chime 

 

Installation Instructions v1.1 

Press the door chime button and the chime is sounded 
throughout the system. 

 

Warning

: To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate 

electrical codes and regulations. 

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.  

 

Description: 

The DC101 door chime module is specifically designed 

for use with the MVP44 and MVP64 controller-amps as well as the 

MR640 controller. It features connections for up to three lighted or 

non-lighted push button door buttons (front, side and rear door) with 

has four sound bank selections of three each (8 distinct chime 
sounds).  

 

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. 

When activated by pressing any of the three door buttons, the DC101 
sends a digital signal 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.
