How to Install Ring Pro Power Kit with Existing Ring Doorbell?

The Pro Power Kit ensures that enough power is sent to your Ring Doorbell, and IS REQUIRED for your Ring Doorbell to function. Before you install Ring Pro Power Kit with existing Ring Doorbell better to install Ring Pro outside.

Important Note: There can only be one Ring Pro per transformer. In case you have more than one Ring Pro it should be installed on a various transformer/power circuit.

We know that the Pro Power kit might look intimidating. Open up your doorbell and check if it's working with internal wires that is something few of us have ever done. But even if you've never wired anything in your life, we're confident that you can install the Pro Power Kit.

Here are a Few Tips for Installing a Happy and Healthy Pro Power Kit:

 

Step 1 : Be sure the switch is off at the breaker when installing your Pro Power Kit. You will have to look which breaker controls the location your doorbell's transformer is located and shut that one-off.  

Step 2 : You will have to see your internal doorbell, and this may be the hardest part because many people have no idea where it is. It’s internal doorbell is the box that the sound comes from when people immediately push the button which is your Ring Doorbell now making it outdated-it usually high up on a wall around close to your front door or in a hallway.

Step 3 : The doorbell in the video below is a very common type of doorbell, but there are all sorts so there's no guarantee what it will look like. If you haven't removed your old doorbell yet, have someone push it a few times and try to figure out where the sound is coming from.

Step 4 : When installing the Pro Power Kit, remove one wire from your doorbell at a time-this way you won't get confused about which wire goes where.

Step 5 : Take the gray and orange wire clips (the yellow wire connectors are for connecting your Ring Doorbell Pro in the front of your home)  

Step 6 : The orange levers on the wire clips are very hard. You really will feel like you're going to break them, but we haven't managed to break one yet so you should be alright.

Step 7 : When you are done wiring your Pro Power Kit, take a look in the house for it where it will be suitable. In case it's inside your doorbell and your doorbell is mechanical simply confirm that it's not in the way of any moving parts. We happen to think the plastic enclosure looks pretty cool, so recommend attaching it to the wall next to your doorbell if it doesn't fit inside.
