Ring Video Doorbell Pro installation - wiring advice

[ledderss2020]

Hello everyone.

I have just purchased a Ring Video Doorbell Pro and want to install it as follows as below. For complete disclosure, I am not a qualified electrician but a responsible and experienced DIYer who wouldn't undertake work I felt was dangerous, and always check the regs to make sure any work is permitted. I believe this work is.

So, I want to install the doorbell as follows.

- Take a spur from a socket on the ring final main circuit. I've check the consumer unit which has a 32 amp MCB protecting this circuit.
- 2.5mm cable to 6A MCB housed in a DIN module.
- 1.5mm cable from the MCB to the 24v transformer supplied with the doorbell. The transformer position next to the MCB in the DIN module
- Bell wire from the transformer to the door bell.

Second, I was toying with the idea of an LED illuminated house number situation near the door bell. Is it possible to take a cable from the 6A MCB to power this (that's two cables from the MCB) or should another configuration be used?

I've attached a sketch of what I've tried to put into words above!

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you have socket close by save yourself a hassle and buy one of those plug in power adaptors

Why are you bothering with a 6A MCB?
Just use a standard FCU with a 3A fuse in it.

Thanks. I had thought about what you suggest, but the doorbell needs the transformer, which is designed to fit on a DIN rail. To save hassle and expense I thought I could just house it in an enclosure and while I'm at it stick a 6 amp MCB next to it thus resulting win only one box on the wall rather that FCU and DIN enclosure. As I have a spare 6amp MCB lying around just seemed to make sense to use what's available.

Thanks. In retrospect yes, but it means buying an adapter, and as I have the bits and bobs I've mentioned in my scheme already thought it was just extra expense.

As long as it looks ok. I know there are other ways of achieving the objective but for the reason of using what I have available if this scheme looks legit, that's good for me!

Thanks guys
