Replacing your doorbell’s transformer
For your Ring Video Doorbell Pro to get enough
power, you’ll need to replace your existing doorbell’s
transformer with the provided 24VAC transformer.
If you need help with this process or live in an area
where it’s illegal to work inside your fusebox or
switchboard, hire a qualified electrician.
Bypassing your existing doorbell
Since most doorbells aren’t rated for use with a 24VAC
transformer, you’ll also need to bypass your existing
doorbell using the provided cable pictured below.

Step 1
Shut off power at the fusebox/switchboard
Since you’ll be working with high-voltage electricity,
first shut off power at your fusebox or switchboard.
3
Step 2
Locate your existing doorbell’s transformer
Your transformer is most likely on a rail with circuit
breakers in a closet or storage area.
It may also be inside your existing doorbell.

Step 3
Replace your transformer
If your doorbell’s transformer is inside your existing
doorbell, you’ll need to find the source of your 230VAC
power and install the provided transformer there.
If your doorbell’s transformer
is installed near your fusebox
or switchboard, disconnect
the 4 wires from your existing
transformer. Connect these 4
wires to your new transformer,
making sure not to swap the
mains and the secondary wires.
Make the connections by
inserting the wire ends into
each clamp-down terminal, and
tightening each connection with
a small Phillips screwdriver.
Make sure that each wire is
securely clamped for a solid
connection.

Step 4
Locate your internal doorbell
Locate your internal doorbell, and remove the cover (if
you’re able to run wire from your transformer directly to
your Ring Doorbell, you can skip this part).
Study the connections on your doorbell. The trick here
is to identify the wires that are powering your doorbell.
If your doorbell is different than the one pictured here,
consult your doorbell’s instruction manual for guidance.

Step 5
Identify your doorbell’s power source
The wires on the left (0 and 3) are the wires that power
your doorbell’s physical mechanism (or in electrical
terms, its solenoid or coil), making it produce sound.
If you look closely, you can see thin wires from terminals
0 and 3 going to the hidden solenoid.
By contrast, terminals 1 and 2 are connected directly
to each other via a thin wire (meaning they aren’t
providing power to your doorbell).

Step 6
Bypass your internal doorbell
Remove the wires that run through your doorbell’s
solenoid (again, 0 and 3 in this example), and bridge
them using the red cable with the black fuse holder.
Lift the orange levers on the gray wire clips until you
feel like they’re going to break, insert the exposed
wire ends, and then snap the levers down to secure the
connection.

Step 7
Replace the cover
Congratulations! You’ve now replaced your transformer
and bypassed your existing doorbell. A successful
bypass should look something like the image below.
Now move to the front of your home to install your Ring
Doorbell Pro following the steps in the next manual.
