Hi,
I have an intercom system with an a/b Patchbox Pro from L-Tek.
It works fine so far.
In addition to the ringing phones, I would like (or rather the authorities require) a traditional doorbell chime. The chime is a Grothe Croma 100A.
I have studied both manuals, but I cannot find a common solution.
Can you tell me how to connect the two devices?
So far, I have considered connection diagram “C” to be the most sensible.
However, when I connect it this way, the chime does nothing when I press the doorbell button. Not even an LED lights up.
To me, only C and D make sense at first. After all, the Patchbox only provides two wires to the chime (12 V, or not?).
Or do I need to supply the chime with constant voltage (12 V or 230 V)?

Yes, I have connected them there as well, using 2 wires.
And created the jumper as shown in the diagram.
But where do I connect the two wires coming from the patch box to the chime?
By "C" I mean connection diagram "C," not terminal label "C."
Maybe I should have mentioned that...
