Qualified electrician here.
Need some advice with installing a Ring doorbell as mains powered in oppose to battery powered.
I am pretty confident that I’ve sussed it out but I want to make sure before I go ahead and install it, it’s something that I’m not too familiar with.
Customer has a Ring 3 which I don’t think comes with the transformer so I know I need to get a 8-24V AC transformer to step down the voltage.
In regards to wiring, as far as I’m aware the transformer only needs a permanent feed (was going to spur off a socket into a fused spur then into the transformer) and then out of the transformer I can use bell wire or even cat5 and go straight into the door bell itself.
Is it really this easy? I keep seeing things about a chime. I know the Ring Pro doesn’t need one but I’m not too sure about the Ring 3.
If anyone has experience installing Ring doorbells and could help it would be much appreciated.
