DIN Rail Transformer (2nd Generation) for Ring Wired Video Doorbells

Product Information

If it doesn't, can't you just get a spur off a nearby lighting ctt and power your doorbell transformer from that? Therefore using a bell transformer for continuous use determines a temperature rise of the transformer which could cause it to stop supplying power, unless the work/pause cycle allows the transformer to sufficiently cool down. com/hc/en-us/articles/115000148786-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-European-Version ,so needs to go into a CU. It may be worth avoiding having a bellbox completely as it will not be used once you have the Ring Doorbell (+Chime).

Your best bet is to plump for the Rong Pro2 doorbell now and go for the hardwired option, as installation would be like for like to a registered sparky. I'm still a little confused but as far as I understand, if I have a dumb wired doorbell then the bell box will have a connection to 240v live mains. 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. But the real over-the-top thing would be to replace the whole consumer just because you need some more space for this.New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . Or could I remove the whole box shown in the picture and replace it with the transformer + enclosure (i. You could take mains supply from an existing socket, into the Ring transformer, but you would need to locate a housing for the transformer at some point in the supply to the doorbell. I simply took out the mains cable from the old transformer and connected it to the bottom of the Ring transformer, I then took the doorbell cables from the chime and connected it to the top of the transformer and finally I mounted it in a din rail enclosure.

Moreover, regarding temperature testing it says “Temperatures are determined during a cyclic test of 20 cycles, each cycle consisting of 1 min operation with the simulated full load and 5 min operation with a load of 20% of the simulated full load. 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.Those DIN-rail-mounted transformers for installation in the consumer unit are extremely common across the channel in Europe; so what's absolutely normal over there appears unusual in the UK. I suspect that it would be better for someone who isn't competent with electrical wiring to fit it in a separate DIN mcb housing. There are many options, which can make it confusing, but this is to make it possible to cope with every possible set-up. 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. 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.

There are reviews that criticise it for not being compatible with the standard consumer unit busbar. com/p/mk-sentry-4-module-unpopulated-enclosure-only-consumer-unit/6563p and other brands likewise, some can be purely 2 way. 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).When it comes time to change to a hardwired Ring device then I'll need to replace the bell box with a Ring transformer that'll step down to 24v and then place this in some suitable housing. You have 30 days from the date you received your device(s) to request a full refund with no questions asked. I’ve bought a Ring Video Doorbell Wired, the transformer for my current doorbell is only 6VA, 6V, 50HZ. 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). If you have an existing doorbell, your new device can be installed with the included Din-Rail Transformer.
