16v 10vac
I have a Ring doorbel pro that was installed a little over a week ago. Everything works fine but I am concerned that based on comments from other blogs that having a transformer with only 16v 10 va will eventually fry my doorbell. I called support and they said that I have enough power. I just bought a 16 v 30va but will not install until next week if I need to. Help!

Normally, Ring product requires AC voltage. Now, ring claim that the 24 VDC also works with door bell. If you wire the plug in adapter or a 16 Vac /30VA transformer, you do not need the Pro Power kit. The pro power kit is needed when you have an exisiting door chime. If you were to draw schematic, the chime is in series with the old push button that ring the chime. Now the ring is connected instead of the push button, so it will charge as the current goes thru the coil of the chime. If the coil is too " resistive", you may not get enough voltage at the ring door bell. Hence you would connect the Pro Power Kit in // with the chime to allow more current / voltage to go through. Therefore you do not need the Pro Power Kit when directly powering the Door Bell Pro to the power supply or 16 V transformer. Some old door bell did requires a resistor when directly connected to the 16 V transformer. I recall I had to do this a few year ago for a customer. (had order a Ring resistor Kit). Those resistors are not required anymore.
