About this deal

There are many options, which can make it confusing, but this is to make it possible to cope with every possible set-up.

com/p/mk-sentry-4-module-unpopulated-enclosure-only-consumer-unit/6563p and other brands likewise, some can be purely 2 way. Maybe get the wiring to the front door where the Video doorbell eventually go and have that fed to the Consumer Unit box and a spare location, or to near a plug point and get the Ring Doorbell with Plug Adapter You could then wire the bell wire to the plug adapter cable ends. I'm sure that would be fine, but I was glad I didn't have to deal with all of the wiring in the Consumer Unit as doing that as a non registered electrician could be considered risky. I installed a transformer by my consumer unit that is 24v / 500mA DC, but Ring are saying this isn't correct and i need an AC transformer plus the separate power pack which i think converts from AC to DC). 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.

This seems to be the most future proof solution as bell wire will probably be usable by any future system while the rest of it could be switched out easily. Nevertheless a lower load than the nominal one destabilizes the voltage output, which by standard has a tolerance of 15% at full load but 100% with no load!

Not meaning to criticise, but I think it is more useful to explain how to safely fit it, rather than complain about what it isn't. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. 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? This power supply needs to be fed from a circuit breaker, otherwise it has no protection in the event of a fault! I guess the Ring transformer could hide within the redundant bellbox if the original transformer is in the bellbox.So I think I am correct in thinking that the 2 people at Ring that I was speaking to actually have no idea what they are actually talking about, and the set up that I have implemented should work fine. I have a Ring Pro Hardwired doorbell, and am having a devil of a job sourcing an appropriate transformer for it.

Permanently fails to function during overload or short-circuit presenting no danger to the user or surroundings. The tricky part is if the transformer is in the Bell Box, then you have 240v feeding in at that point. The ring video door bell will be taking power continuously and thus a transformer intended for normal door bells may not be suitable as a power supply to a video door bell system.New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .

Could I not simply replace the current transformer (shown in green in my picture above) with a new one?If it doesn't, can't you just get a spur off a nearby lighting ctt and power your doorbell transformer from that? We then had the new Ring transformer fitted (at the same time as a Ring doorbell), and it solves the noise problem. Using a transformer to supply a lower load than the nominal power reduces the power loss containing the temperature rise of a bell transformer used continuously. 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).
