Hi folks,

I just need to sanity check what I'm going to do :)

So I've just bought a Ring Pro Doorbell and it's going to replace a broken intercom system: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/ESP/enterview3manual.PDF

Am I oversimplifying it to say that if I unplug the internal intercom device (which seems to power the entire thing), and remove it from the wall, and then remove the outside intercom (mine is the 3V/3VC picture). If I hook up two of the wires (possibly needing to cut off the end connector to get to the bare wire) to a transformer on the internal side, and to the ring pro on the other side that is all I need to do?

Am I correct in this? Can I reuse the existing wires in the wall? The current system seems to be 13V DC 0.25A, will they be able to handle 24V AC 1.5A (the transformer I've bought provides this)? Or do I need to replace the wires somehow, possibly by just taping them to the old wires and pulling them through?

Thanks
