e. I've intercepted the feed from the transformer to the chime box within the hallway ceiling) to get back to clean metal straight from the source.

There are four cores in the thin wire leading to the front door button: red, yellow, blue and black. This topic has been useful to help me choose a new, compatible transformer after determining that the existing transformer used to power the old chime and doorbell didn’t work with the Ring Video Doorbell wired.

I've tried to check the voltage available at the button using a multimeter across the terminal screws.

In most cases, where the product is found to have a valid fault, the warranty permits complete replacement of the defective item free of charge.

Our power supply meets the stringent Efficiency Level VI standards, ensuring that it’s powerful and environmentally friendly.I was surprised there isn't, from the usual low-cost suppliers, a simple dc-ac inverter that won't raise the output to 220V, they are all 12V DC - 220V AC inverters with at least 100W output, that are bulky, overloaded and especially expensive for what I need. Our selection includes wireless, wired, plug-in and battery doorbells from trusted brands like Byron, Honeywell and Swann.

I happened to have a suitable illuminated door bell button which could also powered from the 12v DC PSU, however be aware that some standard illuminated buttons may not work as they work with specific door bell kits. The new housing box and transformer will be smaller than the existing door bell chime unit, and I’ve only just decorated! Having checked more closely I've discovered that the transformer does have a 1A fuse in it, according to its case, so potentially that blew when the wires brushed against each other.Hi, I’ve bought a Ring wired doorbelll and I’m unsure if it’s compatible with the transformer currently installed. I tried touching pairs of the cores in various combinations to a 12v (automotive) bulb but it didn't light up. The following schematic is a kind of adaptation of the old vibrating reed relays that were used "back in the day" when someone wanted to place a HAM radio in their car trunk. Our wireless door chimes come with a bell range of 50m to 200m, so you can hear them no matter where you are in the building.

Another issue is that my current doorbell is a bit low at about 40", Ring suggest 48" Proper Positioning for your Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Generation) – Ring Help. It provides a stable 12V DC output with an impressive 1A current rating, ensuring optimal performance. All done and your wife wont complain that you’ve pulled the old chime box off an d messed up the decorating! When I stripped some insulation from the four cores, two momentarily touched each other and there was a visible spark, so there was power although I can't now reproduce this.

Electrical wiring must be in place or installed, often requiring a transformer to ensure the correct voltage is supplied. The bell push could (unusually) be configured as a zero volt switch, with no useful voltage appearing at that end. This thread contains some great discussion regarding different installation methods for the Video Doorbell Wired based on what transformer you may have or want.
