The Ring Doorbell Pro Wiring Diagram
Now let’s take a look at the wiring diagram for Ring Doorbell Pro:
As you can see from the diagram, there are several components that need to be connected in order to install Ring Doorbell Pro:
The Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is the first component to install. It attaches to your wall using the screws and anchors provided in the box. Once the bracket is attached, you can slide the doorbell onto the bracket and secure it with the security screw.
The Doorbell Wires
The next step is to connect the doorbell wires to the Pro Power Kit.
The doorbell wires are the two wires that are already in your wall and were used to power your previous doorbell. These wires are usually red and white, but they can be different colors depending on your wiring setup.
The Pro Power Kit
The Pro Power Kit is a small module that connects to the doorbell wires. It’s an important component because it regulates the power supply to the Ring Doorbell Pro.
There are two wires that come out of the Pro Power Kit – one black and one white. These wires need to be connected to the doorbell wires. The black wire should be connected to the wire that was previously connected to the transformer, and the white wire should be connected to the wire that was previously connected to the chime.
The Chime Wires
The final step is to connect the chime wires to the Pro Power Kit.
The chime wires are the two wires that are used to connect your bell or chime to the doorbell system. These wires are usually labeled “front” and “transformer” or “rear” and “front”.
The chime wires need to be connected to the Pro Power Kit. The front wire should be connected to the wire that is labeled “front” on the Pro Power Kit, and the transformer wire should be connected to the wire that is labeled “transformer” on the Pro Power Kit.
