Europe's busiest forums, with independent news and expert reviews, for TVs, Home Cinema, Hi-Fi, Movies, Gaming, Tech and more. I’ve bought a Ring Video Doorbell Wired, the transformer for my current doorbell is only 6VA, 6V, 50HZ. Permanently fails to function during overload or short-circuit presenting no danger to the user or surroundings. When it comes time to change to a hardwired Ring device then I'll need to replace the bell box with a Ring transformer that'll step down to 24v and then place this in some suitable housing. Hardwire compatible Ring Video Doorbells using your existing doorbell wiring, for non-stop power and protection.

The tricky part is if the transformer is in the Bell Box, then you have 240v feeding in at that point. Will the Honeywell Ding Dong 117 work with the Doorbell Wired when powered by the DIN Rail Transformer (2nd Gen), or should I be using a different chime in the UK? Probably better to get a bellbox, where the transformer is separate, that way you can switch the transformer at the consumer unit (mines in the garage).

If that is the case then there's no way I'll be able to neatly get a cable from the CU to the front door. com/hc/en-us/articles/115000148786-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-European-Version ,so needs to go into a CU.

This transformer is very easy to install if you know how to wire your consumer unit box, but I recommend using a qualified electrician if you're not familiar with consumer units. The original transformer was outside of the Consumer Unit, so as I knew it wouldn't be suitable for the Ring doorbell, I purchased a Wylex 2 module housing to put the new Ring Transformer in. Your Ring Video Doorbell Pro requires a power source that supplies a minimum of 16 volts AC at ~20 volt-amps when connected directly to a transformer (supplied) or plug-in adapter.i don't have a wired doorbell at the moment, so don't need to do any of the work to an existing doorbell. Moreover, regarding temperature testing it says “Temperatures are determined during a cyclic test of 20 cycles, each cycle consisting of 1 min operation with the simulated full load and 5 min operation with a load of 20% of the simulated full load. If it doesn't, can't you just get a spur off a nearby lighting ctt and power your doorbell transformer from that? If you have an existing doorbell, your new device can be installed with the included Din-Rail Transformer. To be fair, that's why it should be fitted by either someone qualified, or someone who knows what they are doing.

An electrician recently installed a replacement transformer for one that had burnt out in my old door bell. Maybe the best approach is to decide the best location of the Ring transformer (in/by existing consumer unit, placed in existing bellbox, new housing at bellbox location). The Ring support site and product naming is absolutely atrocious and my electrician has not been able to advise me. I suspect that it would be better for someone who isn't competent with electrical wiring to fit it in a separate DIN mcb housing. When the bell box is replaced for the Ring transformer and it's housing module, then does the same apply or should that be placed up high on the wall?

But they can't tell me why and I am losing faith that they have any idea what they are talking about!
