Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. kzbin.infoUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa

[@ashleygambrill4508]

I just installed a Ring video doorbell pro today and must thank you for the idea of mounting the transformer in an enclosure next to a double socket and plugging it in. Funnily enough the doorbell didn't come with the power adapter with the 2 red wires that you talk about in this video so i guess its not needed anymore. I used 6 core alarm cable instead of bell wire as i think it looks neater stapled and i put a 20mm compression gland for the flex to come out of the bottom of the enclosure to provide some strain relief in case the flex gets tugged.

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

Hi glad see see that you got yours working, the black and red wires was just a 1amp fuse its been replaced by ring with a bypass unit which is a small square block and must be installed on terminal 4 on the transformer as its an electronic fuse. If there is a power power of some kind it will shut the ring doorbell down ,it then has to be rest by switching the power off then back on to reset the unit.

[@TheGatesOfFire]

Yesterday i tried to install the ring doorbell pro. I wired it the way you showed. I used 0.75mm cable, a plug with a 3amp fuse and the transformer they gave at terminals 1 and 4. It started up and I got as far as trying to find the ring network on wifi then it stopped working. Thanks to you I went around to Barlows and they gave me the only 1amp slow blow fuse they had. It's now working with only a few possible issues with the rssi. I need to set up the area for motion detection because I'm getting alerts for every car at the moment.

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

hi its been very annoying having to change that 1 amp fuse when i've done jobs as a matter of course other wise i would have been going back to a few . but good news they have brought out the bypass device which will replace the 1amp fuse saw it and installed one on sunday just gone ,so i can now put the 1 amp fuse ive got left in my draw.yes you need to set up the motion zones via the app.thanks for letting me know glad i was able help

[@ravirgo27]

@@siatelecomsltdLondon Hi , Firstly, thank you very much as finally someone took the effort of putting up a video of this installation as not everyone wants to fit one in a CU . I installed mine yesterday and it was all working until this morning when I came back from the gym and rang the bell. It rang once and then lost power completely . So I checked and had the same issue as someone commented above i.e a blown fuse in the power pro cable. I replaced the 1amp fuse and it powered up again. However, rang the bell again, it rang once and the fuse blew out again. Do you know why the fuse keeps blowing up ? It should happen only when the bell draws too much current , right ? My connections are o.k. and as you've mentioned in the video. Thanks

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

@@ravirgo27 hi thanks that does not sound right?like you said if the fuse has blown again could be a voltage issue in your premises?i would contact ring and inform them of this issue.there is a new device which is a bypass unit that will be replacing the black fuse holder contact ring and get them to send out the new bypass device.

[@ravirgo27]

@@siatelecomsltdLondon I may have found the issue as it is now working after the 3rd fuse change, but keeping fingers crossed. As I don't use an existing chime but the chime that comes in the box , the doorbell kit settings should be "none". The default setting is mechanical , which although worked for sometime for me , eventually blew the fuse out. The 2nd outage would be me as I changed it from mechanical to digital thinking I'd still need to set it to something but this blew the fuse out again. Ring's website says that it should be set to none , before you even ring the doorbell the first time as it could lead to a blown fuse. I think this was the issue with my setup but if it pops out again , I'll call ring support as you suggest. Thanks

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

@@ravirgo27 ok thats really very interesting so depending on the doorbell kit setting could effect the amount of voltage gooing to the ring doorbell ?i will need to check that in future as well when i do more installs thanks for lettings us know the more info we get the easier we can solve basic problems

[@SeaCatch3]

Thanks for the video, only thing I would do differently would be to add a stuffing gland in the bottom of the transformer enclosure for the mains flex and then run the bell wire coming out of a separate outlet from the enclosure.... just my way of doing it. cracking video, thanks.

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

Thanks for the insight I do now separate the.mains and bell wire ,the mains wire was tided to the inside of the box at the bottom by drilling a hole I just did not show that in the video as I had not yet finished the job this is one of the things that really annoys me about this particular box and actually other enclosures there is no way of tying down the mains cable any other cable that's in the box so I have to drill a hole at the top or the bottom and then use a tie wrap to tie the cable to the plastic box this is a criticism that I've emailed to the companies. This is one thing that seems to keep popping up in the comments that people assume that I left the mains cable to dangle out of the bottom of the transformer without being securely tight this is not the case I would not do that because it's dangerous it's when I finished that job I secured the cable thanks

Hi I do use transformer from screwfix , i managed to connect everything just wondering if my transformer should make humming sound ?

[@dipdobdab9202]

Hi, sorry but a couple of things; 1) doorbell/Tx is premantley fixed current using equipment so must be fed/protected via appropriate fused spur if off of a ring/radial. Not a plug. This would require a minor works cert as a min. **DIYers you can still do this through building control. 2) You need to segregate LV and ELV, bell wire should go out the top of the unit with a closed grommit as a min. 3) You should really be installing in "non-combustable" enclosures. (But you are right in not going into the db, i dont know of any "ring" dbs atm, and the tx would void the warranty). .....^^it all sounds pedantic, but txs get hot and (apart from dbs) are one of the main causes of starting fires. Its easy to make electrical installs work, but if they're not installed and certificated correctly, the book gets thrown at YOU as the installer, when somebodys house burns down and insurance is void. Recommend people stick these on anything with txs (laptops, phone chargers etc) and throw away any chargers etc that get too hot www.safe-connect.co.uk/hpi/

[@dipdobdab9202]

...and before somebody says it, i know there is a ring plug in adapter for the pro etc.... but its currently 'unavailable', assume somebody has realised the reg and has put it on hold rather then sold out?? Unless there is an underlining reg that excludes a complete ELV install?

[@airportdocumentaries]

What's the point of the wago switch? You could've just connected the cable straight into the transformer without a wago

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

yes of course you can wire two cables into the transformer do what you want,i just perfer one cable so that when you tighen the screw it bites on just one wire and also that black cable is stranded wire ,hate stranded wire so twisting a solid bell wire to a stranded annoys me.

Hi I don’t have a ring I have a eufy doorbell but I live in the Uk and have a transformer like that and that gives 8-24 V.

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

ok if the transformer was installed outside of the fusebox and you can see the mains going via a spur into the transformer and also see the doorbell wires going into the top of the tramsformer you should be able to insulate the mains and then replace the transformer with the new one and use the plastic casing , but if the transformer is located inside the fusebox/consumer unit you will need a qualified electrican to replace the transformer.also you would need a meter and non contact voltage tester to check that the voltage is truly insulated,if not do not attempt to replace the transformer yourself get a qualified electrican to do the job for you.thanks julius

Thanks so much for providing us UK ring pro owners a decent example of how to install the thing! I have a couple of questions if you wouldn't mind? I am considering powering the transformer via an FCU box off a non fused 2 socket spur which comes off the ring main in the garage instead of a 3 pronged plug into the 2 socket spur. As in your example. Also, would it be a good idea to secure the flex cable that feeds in at the bottom of the transformer? Finally, not being an electrician, is there any risk to using 2 core cable in a 3 pronged plug. What with there being no earth? Thanks!

I usually a hole at the bottom of the box to hold the mains cable to secure the cable I use a plastic tie wrap it did not show in the video because I was still installing the transformer.what you are describing should be do by a qualified electrician.the transformer has only to connectors one for the line and the other for neutral as the transformer casing is plastic and does not need an earth but you can still use a three core

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

hello if you get the official ring power adapter which i think costs £30 i would think not but i did a sky bell install a few months ago and i had to install a 10 ohm resistor on one leg in line on the adapter as it did not work properly, then tape it up but it was then hidden in trunking down in the basement.i would say to install it as ring expects it and now the new bypass device is out and they may then be able to detect if it's installed or not as i think it's a small cct board so they could say that it must be installed before they can attend to you?

The complimentary plug in power supply arrived from Ring today. - 240 Volts Input and 24 Volts AC output. Only problem is it an EU two pin version and not UK. Its very chunky and heavy so to put an EU to UK adaptor on it as well means it will stick out far too much. Have to decide what to do now. Does the Ring Pro not need an earth connection in the UK?

I m not sure if the transformer should be wired to the 24v option considering most doorbells are either 8v or 16v - there are some rare options that do work with 24v. From what I know Ring and other smart doorbells like Logitech operating between 8v to 24v so I would think choosing the 8v option is better here.

Hi Telephone Engineer London. Great vid. My current door bell wire is exchange jumper wire (as a telephone engineer, I hope you know what I'm referring to), will this be ok to use with the Ring pro?

Also from the transformer could I run some bell wire to my existing door chime to make that ring at the same time as the Pro?

@@womble8348 hello you don't need the red and black kit use the bypass module check out my link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7cY3x6oNiNn9k

[@XStrikeSuper]

Which bell cable did you use?

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

I got it from toolstation 50m £8 much better quality then from screwfix

[@PanasonicTXL]

Just looked at the Ring installation manual and noticed that the Bypass Kit is connected to terminal 4 not terminal 1 which is the way you have it set up. Does this matter?

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

Hello if it says in the manual that it must be installed on terminal 4 that it must be followed.in the video the black tube has a 1 amp fuse because it's an ac transformer and not DC it can be installed at 1 or 4 but I will speak to ring about this to get clarity

[@PanasonicTXL]

Yes, page 13 of the manual support.ring.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/360021789811/ENG_Doorbell_Pro_MANUAL.pdf. Although it refers to a set up using an existing doorbell transformer it uses terminal 4. Great video by the way, it's helping me a lot with my installation, thanks.

[@PanasonicTXL]

Just to clarify for other people, the 'Bypass Kit' I mentioned above was the Pro Power Kit (small grey plastic box).

Hi where is the link the the adapter that cost £30 on ring website I can’t find it

[@juliusuzutunda]

Hi ash it's only available in the U.S. they do not sell it in the UK which is very annoying

[@CrIMiN8l]

also do i still need to install the orang wire on my ring pro? thanks

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

No you need the new bypass unit

[@CrIMiN8l]

Thanks for the speedy reply..👍🏽 is the new bypass unit the white box? Thanks.

People watching this should know any changes to you wiring needs to be checked by a part p registered electricain and the appropriate certificate handed to the customer or checked by building control if you don't do this your home insurance will be void

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

hello there is no changes to the existing wiring ,my course tutor states that this is legal and does not need to be reported to building control.does this mean you have to be a registered electrican to install a telephone system or a small door intercom system?i have my 18th edition cert and domestic installer cert(part p) as well.

[@andrewmayes3271]

Not your work on this video but I have seen people commenting on them using the spare way in their dB this is what I was referring to didn't make myself clear anyway good video

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

@@andrewmayes3271 hello, no you are absoluatley right its all about safety and making sure that its installed correctly and with in the law nobody should be installing into the db unless they are quailfed to do so.this is how fires occur when electrical items are not installed properly.

Hi mate! I've been having a real trouble hardwiring my doorbell. I tried a transformer from screwfix but it's not adequate at 8va, I installed a 10va which lasted a day before no more power going out. Where did you get the resistor from?

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

hello it shows like you have the ring doorbell 2?if so use this www.screwfix.com/p/byron-776-wired-wall-mounted-doorbell-with-transformer-white/80766 this bell chime has a built in transformer and is approved be ring to work with the ring 2 that way you do not need the resistor

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

this is also the transformer that i've used from screwfix www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-8-24v-8-va-bell-transformer-module/8707p#_=p

[@springhy]

I brought the same from Screwfix for the ring 2 but it says you need an wirewound resistor connected to it also? Will have to connect it and try

Someone contacted me about their ring doorbell is very hot to the touch.i would get back onto ring for a replacement transformers as the ring doorbell was replaced and it's still very hot also make sure you use the bracket plate that.comes with the ring pro so that there is a gap between the door frame and the doorbell also check what the voltage is within the ring app

Very helpful video for the ring pro. Ring have kindly offered me a free upgrade to the pro due to constant issues with my doorbell 2 in the last 6 months. I've looked for the enclosure at tlc but can't find one similar, any help please Don't worry, I've found it, but another question..... does the bell wire need to be of a certain spec? was looking at this www.screwfix.com/p/byron-7200-doorbell-wire-9m/9143d or even this www.screwfix.com/p/nexans-bell-wire-2-core-50m-white/451fk ?

[@abdulshohid14]

@@siatelecomsltdLondon I think doubling up is required because of the increased voltage compared to uk door bells. This way even the byron 7200 should be ok

No you need the new bypass unit

[@brianrogers5974]

Hi Telephone Engineer. My pack contained a bypass unit and transformer which I've used but when I measured the ac voltage output it was 31v not 24v. How come the transforer they supply provides a greater voltage than the bell requires - will it be damaged?

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

@@brianrogers5974 hi Brian I remember a KZbin video about I think 3 years ago when a uk youtuber measured the voltage of his at his door it was about 29v so on some jobs where I've installed the ring pro I've checked the voltage and I've been getting about 29v to 32v?I dont this its to much of a problem ,you could try another transformer from screwfix which runs at 24v the same voltage and cost £8.99?also remember it is an alternatiing current so the will be a degree of voltage fluctuation.

[@TheGroundsman2024]

the new unit has a greyish white block with it that eliminates the red wire part as you do not get that anymore according to ring and also allow your unit approximately 1 hour to charge before starting app i did it this way it worked perfectly also the white block should be connected to top right side of transformer contact ring they will send you a diagram as they did for me i am uk based therefore this is for uk

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

Hello yes that is for the new white block check the vid again it's the black tube with the 1 amp fuse in that I terminate in the zero /neg of the transformer as per instructions from ring

[@TheGroundsman2024]

@@siatelecomsltdLondon great video sorry i didn't say that first on contact last time was very easy to follow but when i first installed the ring it didn't work thought i did something wrong until i found out the unit had to charge for approx an hour then felt great that i got it right this is because of your video thank you again and keep up the good videos

[@siatelecomsltdLondon]

@UCAaaMPQ-iiEGU2RK7yvSJ_A thanks it's not the best video I want to do another one from start to finish in the next few weeks i will do that from home yes the ring pro when first installed use to take about 10 to 20 mins before it would start working properly but the newer versions are now working almost straight away.if the video helps someone to install it safely and correctly then I'm happy:🙂
