How to connect your Ring Video Doorbell 3 directly to a low-voltage transformer without an existing doorbell
If you do not have an existing doorbell but do not want to have to charge the battery of your Ring Video Doorbell 3, you can directly connect your Ring Video Doorbell to a low voltage transformer.
For your safety, only use a transformer within the range specified below or compatible Ring accessories to power your device.
For connecting to transformer:
- Hardwired transformer (8 to 24 VAC, 50/60Hz, 5VA to 40VA)
Ring accessories are sold separately and may include:
- Plug-In Adapter (24Vdc, 500mA)
- Solar Charger (5.2Vdc, 100mA or 109mA)
- Solar Panel (5Vdc, 380mA/480mA/800mA)
Using incompatible power sources can damage your device and cause electric shock.
A resistor is not required.
Do not install a diode, as the in-home chime functionality is now controlled via the Ring app.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect power to the installation area at your circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Always use caution when handling electrical wiring.
Installation by a qualified electrician may be required in your area. Refer to your local laws and building codes before performing electrical work; permits plus professional installation may be required by law.
