- Electrical current in solenoid creates a magnetic field.
- Magnetic field in solenoid pulls in armature.
- Armature causes striking mechanism to produce first chime of bell.
- Interruption of electrical current in solenoid causes magnetic field to collapse.
- Spring pulls armature out of solenoid.
- Armature causes striking mechanism to produce second chime of bell.

Can you hook a downstairs and upstairs door chime to one button?
Yes. Just make sure that the whole circuit makes a complete loop (with the battery, chimes and the button) when the button is pressed. But you also have to make sure that there is enough power in the battery to ring two chimes. So you may need an extra battery.
How do you turn off the chime on no name Walmart watch?
Hold down the reset button and then press the mode button to either turn the chime on or off. Indicator lights should go off/on around days of week.
How do door chimes work and how do you repair them when they stop working?
This is accurate for old style electromechanical door chimes. I believe the procedures will work with electronic chimes, but I have no experience with them so it may not. Your door chime system consists of three parts: * A step down transformer. Ususally 120VAC->24VAC and commonly mounted near the breaker panel. This powers the system. * A button by the door. * The chime unit. These three parts are wires in series. When the button is pushed it completes the circuit from the transformer to the chime. The energy draws a plunger into a solenoid. The inerta of the plunger draws it past the energized resting position, striking a chime to make the "ding". The plunger then comes to rest, held in the solenoid. When the button is released a spring pushed the plunger back out. Again, inerta oushed the plunger past its true resting position, striking the chime to make the "dong". Note: You will need a AC voltmeter for this. * Locate the transformer. You should see 24VAC (check the transformer rating to verify this) across the output terminals. If you don't see this the transformer is the problem. Check that it is powered. If the transformer has power but us not putting out an output voltage the transfoemer has failed. * Take the cover off your chime. You should see three terminals: a common, a front door chime terminal, and a back door chime terminal. Check the voltage across the front door terminal and common. It should be 0V. Have a helper push the door chime button. The voltage should go to the voltage you read across the transformer. If these measurements are as expected the chime has failed. * Pull the button out. You should see the transformer voltage across the terminals when the button is not depressed. When the button is depressed the voltage should be 0V. If you short the terminals the chime should sound. If you can sound the chime by shorting the wires the button has failed. * If you think the chime is bad, disconnect the wire from the front door terminal and connect it to the rear door terminal. There are two solenoids in the unit, so this is a quick test case. The chime should now sound as normal, but only sound one tone. If so, the front door soleniod is bad. You will have to replace the whole chime. If not, there is a problem somewhere else. * If you can't track down the problem above, completely disconnect the wiring from the transformer and short the two wires together. Disconnect the two wires from the chime and short them together. Disconnect the switch and measure the continuity between them. If you see more than a few ohms, you have a break in the wire. Have you done anything that would cut a wire or cause it to break lately? * Somewhere there is a splice, usually at one of the three components, as you need two runs of two cinductor wire to connect the 3 components. Find this and check it. You can also disconnect it and test the two runs independently.

How do you disable seat belt chime on 2011 gmc sierra?
Beside the dash cluster on the left there's an information button. Push it until you see chime volume on your dash, where your mileage is. You can turn the volume to the chime up and down or off.
How do you turn off the hourly chime on athletic works watch model number aw60456w?
I have an ATHM4801 model and on that one you press and hold button 4 ('Reset' on the lower right), while holding button 4 press button 2 ('Mode' on the lower left). If all the days are visible when you press button 4 then the hourly chime is on. If the days are not displayed then the chime is off.
How do you disable a door chime on a 1998 Mustang?
The only thing I can think of is to glue the button in the door jamb.
Why is the indicator chime for driver door only and constantly on when I'm driving?
Check to make sure that the plug (there normally is a piece of plastic that pushes in the switch to make the chime go off) Go and push the button in by hand with your keys on if it goes off than this is the problem. If the chime does not go off after a few seconds than the problem is that the switch mechanism in the chime is malfunctioning and you need to go and pull the chime and either leave it out or replace it.
Where is the wireless button?
it for a carlon plug-in wireless chime with two buttons, one do not work, i replace batteries and it still do not work
How can I disable the seat belt chime in a Kia Sportage?
you really do not want to do that,believe it or not the seat belt circuit also runs thru part of the air bag decision making circuit. Sooooooo, if you disconnect the chime which really turns on/off the seat belt light in the dash you also goof up the decision making circuitry .Do not do it.
