I picked up a Honeywell series 9 doorbell to replace my old one, wife wanted something nicer looking & numerous chimes etc. after new paint and the old one was looking pretty yellowed etc.
It say's it works for wired and wireless, I want to use it with power too it without batteries. I can get power to it but can't get it working pushing the doorbell buttons.
There's two wired doorbell buttons each has a black & red wire connected on one side, and a green & yellow on the other side.
I have no idea where the transformer is, can't find it anywhere
On the chime end there is 3 wire sets coming out of the wall, each having a red, black, green & yellow wire. On the old chime all the greens & yellow wires were joined together and connected to a terminal marked "0" on the chime, with jointed black & red from each set going to terminals marked 1,2 & 3. The 1-3 terminals all seem joined to a coil of copper wire underneath where the chime is.
Only one set seems powered, I when I connect one black & red to the AC1 & AC2 terminals on the new one and a green & yellow to the A1 & A2 I get power to the chime, but the buttons don't work. I tried reversing them, to no avail.
I attached two images, one of the old connection, and the only page in the manual explaining how to connect the wires, which is less than helpful to me. I also linked the images to dropbox, in case these aren't big enough.
The terminals on the new one, left to right are A1, A2, B1, B2, AC1, AC2.
