How to Connect Your Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus Directly to a Low Voltage Transformer (Without a Pre-existing Doorbell)

Connect your Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus directly to a low voltage 8-24V AC transformer designed for doorbell circuits without an existing doorbell.

  as a power source. 
• Connecting the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus to an AC transformer requires some knowledge of wiring. If you are uncomfortable reading wiring diagrams and hooking up wires, consult a licensed electrician for assistance.
• Do not use halogen or garden-lighting transformers.
• Do NOT install a diode.
