  1. No existing doorbellIf you don’t have an existing doorbell, the Video Doorbell Pro 2 can either be powered with: The Plug-In Adapter (skip to this step)Din-Rail Transformer (electrician recommended)
  2. Existing wired doorbellIf you have an existing doorbell, your new device can be installed with the included Din-Rail Transformer.

To install with the included Din-Rail Transformer:If like most doorbells in Europe, your doorbell only works at 8-12 Volts AC, your existing transformer won’t have enough power to support your Ring device and will need to be replaced by the included 24 Volt Ring transformer.

1. Find your doorbell chimeYour Doorbell Pro 2 is designed to replace an existing doorbell button and gets its power from the doorbell system. Ring your existing doorbell and listen for the chime. If it rings, you’ll know your existing doorbell system is working. Follow the sound to find your chime and make a mental note of the location.We’ll return to your chime soon.2. Locate your existing transformerYour existing transformer can be found in one of the following places and can be found with the label of having 8-12 Volts AC powerYour consumer unit

Combined with your existing ChimeMounted separately in your home

3. Turn off power at the consumer unitThis can be done by turning off the Mains power switch, or by turning off the power coming into your home at your electric meter.4. Bypass your existing ChimeIf your transformer is in your consumer unit or mounted separately to a wall, make sure to follow this step.Your existing chime needs to be bypassed because the new (included) transformer is powerful and runs on DC rather than AC current. Not bypassing will cause damage to your existing Chime.Click here to learn more about Ring Chime/how to hear your doorbell.

To bypass your existing Chime, unscrew the wires from your existing Chime. Thereafter, twist them together using the provided wire nut.5. (Optional) If required, remove your transformer from its housing unit.Traditional Din Rail transformers are 35 mm wide. The provided transformer is narrower than traditional transformer units and can be removed from its housing to be a more compact 17.5 mm.To remove, spread the two sides of the housing outwards, and push the transformer unit up from below.

6. Remove the wires from your existing transformerFirst, locate the output cables that are connected to your doorbell. These may be connected to the terminals marked ‘output’, ‘8-12Volts AC’, or a similar low voltage. Disconnect these cables and put them to one side.Next, remove the 230 Volt high voltage line (brown) and neutral (blue) cables from the input terminals and place them to one side, ensuring that these are not touching any other cables, metal, or conductive surfaces.Depending on the age of the home, the wires may not match the colors described. Consult an electrician if you are unsure.7. Remove your existing transformerThen, remove the existing transformer by unclipping it from the mounting rail. You may need to use a flat head screwdriver to do this.8. Replace your existing transformer with the new one

  1. Pull down the white tab at the bottom of the unit.
  2. Place the unit at an angle on top of the rail.
  3. Push the unit flush against the rail.
  4. Push the tab up to lock-in.

9. Reconnect the wires

  • Connect the previously disconnected 230V high voltage line (brown) and neutral (blue) cables to terminals L & N on the bottom of the transformer. (ensure these are going into the correct input terminals).
  • Connect the doorbell wires to + & – (doorbell wires can go in either terminal).
  • Ensure the terminals are tightened properly with a screwdriver.
