Installing Ring Doorbell Pro Using Plug in Transformer

[KAS]

Hi, I am asking for any advice on installing the ring doorbell pro. I am interested in installing it using a plug in transformer , as I have no existing hardwired doorbell and no space in my cu. I was wondering if anyone had installed the ring pro using this method (which you can do) and if so which uk plug in transformer did you use and could you point me in the right direction to purchase one as I am having difficulty finding one. Thank you in advance for any help.

What plug in transformer do you need.. eg. voltage and current.
How does the manual tell you to install it?

Hi, thanks for replying. Yes it does but as I explained above it is for use in CU. I have no space in my CU for it, hence I am going to use a plug in transformer 24v AC 1.5 AMP, its just trying to find if anyone knows where I can buy in the UK and if anyone has used a plug in transformer to power their ring pro.

I can use one the same as a Dantech DA652, but I am finding it very difficult to source one. I was hoping that maybe someone in the forum may know of one similar that I could buy and where from in the UK. The DA652 is 24V AC 1.5A

You could pop it in a small DIN enclosure, screw it to the wall and connect up a flying lead with a plug on the end.

How would you provide cord restraint at that.

Hi, thanks I have sent off for this but they keep telling me its coming out to me and then telling me there is delays, I dont know when they will have them to dispatch and I am impatient. The doorbell is all in place wired with bell wire and ready to go, just waiting for the power supply lol...

Hi, do you know where I could buy this in the UK please, thanks.

Where the flexible cable (cord) enters the enclosure it should be suitably restrained to prevent stress on terminations. Stick with the item Spoon suggested you are getting from Amazon.

A cable tie.
Simples!

Any Electrical wholesalers (NOT B&Q etc!)
Lots of on line places

That enclosure is not suitable for the connection of flexible cables.
