Ring Plug-In Adapter (2nd Generation)

The Ring Plug-In Adapter (2nd Generation) is designed to power your Ring video doorbell or Ring Alarm Outdoor Siren. It is not compatible with Door View Cam or Video Doorbell Elite.

Installing your doorbell with a Plug-In Adapter

Step 1: Choose a socket

Select a power outlet near the door where you plan to install your Ring video doorbell. Don't plug the power adapter in yet.

Step 2: Run the cable

• Run the cable down from the outlet to your moulding, then choose a path to your Video Doorbell.
• Secure the cable to the wall with provided cable clips.
  • The cable can be run through your walls, a door, or a window.
  • Avoid existing electrical wiring and pipes when drilling through walls.

Step 3: Attach the wires

• Attach the power cables to the terminals on the rear of your Ring video doorbell.
• If you are connecting a video doorbell, it doesn't matter which cable is connected to which terminal. The device will work with either cable connected to either terminal.

• If you are connecting an Outdoor Siren, you must correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) sides. The negative cable can be identified by a ridge running the length of the cable.
