Did you not use a resistor between the transformer and the ring?
@richardballard6604Ай бұрын
Nice video IF you are using a chime with the Ring. How ever the Ring is supposed to run on a 24VAC 40 watt transformer, not 16VAC. I used the 16 VAC wall wart with my first one and it didn't last long at all. A 16VAC transformer means it's running on lower voltage than it designed for. Thats not good for electronics. Think of the effect brown outs have on electronics anf light bulbs. It will cause the Ring to burnout sooner. Finding a chime that runs on 24VAC isn't that easy but can be found. However the Ring works on/with the Ring Show as well as your phone and it can be used as the ringer for the door bell and showes you who is at the door at the same time. Great for the home if you don't carry your phone with you 24/7. The thing is that no where in the info packet provided does it state you need to install a 25 Ohm, 50 watt resistor in line with the Ring when using the transformer. That little jumper in the kit isn't one of those and muct be bought separately. JFYI

I would place the transformer in an area inside the house like a closet or an area where you can hide it, if available, because you don’t want to go back to the attic to replace it or work on it, especially if you live in a hot climate state like Florida.

Your neutral wire should be looked at again it isnt good to have exposed copper showing under the wirenut you should consider using a red instead of a yellow.

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

@jesus20yr Жыл бұрын
I had to rewatch the video about five times to figure out you were splicing the new wire with both ends of the outlet wire that you cut. And then you ran the new wire that was spliced in to the other two ends outlet, to the ring device with the wall. Right

You showed two wires (white and red) go from the transformer to the outside Ring. But the white from the transformer didn't go outside, it went to the chime correct?
@loganccox2 жыл бұрын
Check out the link in the description that says wiring diagram then click the first one. It’ll have two door bell pros but ignore the one on the right. Basically it’s the red wire goes from the transformer to the ring. The white wire goes from the transformer to the chime then to the ring. Then you attach the pro power kit to the chime.

So many code violations in this video. First, the junction box should be on the outside of the house, second, pretty sure you can't just cut and splice in the middle of the run and that you would have to have the splices inside the outlet box. This is actually bad information and a guide on how to do it wrong.
