Ring Doorbell + Friedland 454

[dprance]

Hi.

I have recently moved into a house and I'm trying to install a Ring Hardwired Doorbell at the property. I've had a look at the Ring instructions and at the chime box but I'm completely lost as to which wires to by pass in order to give constant power to the door bell. I have a separate plug in Chime.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Problem installing smart doorbell

I've bought a ring wired doorbell and I've run in to a spot of bother trying to install it. The transformer is above my connection box in the hall cupboard. The chime is through the wall next to my front door. It says to attach the jumper cable to the trans and front terminals none of the...

Only difference is your wires are old red and black colours instead of the newer brown and blue.
Throw the Ring instructions in the bin.

Who the heck wires a doorbell in twin and earth?

That chime looks vintage to me because of the mercury tilt switch, 11/2 Volt nomenclature in the battery bay and quality of the Bakelite. If you dispose of it sometime contact Lucien Nunes because he may want it for his museum.

Quite depressing to see so many things on here described as vintage or potential museum exhibits, when I've installed many examples of the object as brand new, cutting edge technology.

Legend cheers Brain.

So just to check (before I risk frazzling myself):

Two Red into one of the connectors
Two Black into the other
Keep the supplied fuse wire (?) connected between the two.

See the pic. Cheers

Most definitely NO!
The link wire should be used to join the two reds or the two blacks together. Doesn't matter which.

Fused link will not last long if connected directly between red and black….. about 0.0001 seconds!
