Hello @TheFireman408 ,Nice pictures drawings . . . I like them! :smile:Both Option A and Option B are basically the same thing, and both will work. Yes, your understanding that the installation of the new Wired Doorbell needs the full power of the transformer (so the jumper bypasses the house wall-mounted chime, so it doesn't have to share any power with it). I hope this helps. :wink:

Thanks @Boone ! Yes, that is what I was thinking is that Option A and Option B are essentially the same thing. I want to eliminate the legacy wired doorbell systems mounted on the hallway wall and shove the cable back inside the wall and seal up the hole. I installed the ChimePro yester

HelloI had a renovation done to my house and they took out the chime and covers the wall with kitchen cabinets. Will my ring work without the jumper? I also bought a ring chime plug in.

hello everyone, I have a questions I recently installed a ring doorbell I was so excited about it that I totally forgot about connecting the jumper cable but my ring doorbell and ring chime seem to be working great I checked the device health and it says "good" transformer voltage 14V do I really need to connect the jumper cable? I just don't want to have to turn off everything again and disconnect the ring doorbell again lol thanks

Hi @Edwin29. Yes, the Jumper Cable is absolutely necessary when using the Doorbell wired. Failure to use the Jumper Cable could be hazardous and not safe. I recommend disconnecting power to the Doorbell circuit until you are able to install the Jumper Cable.

Apparently my existing wired doorbell (Legrand 41243) which is 15yrs old has a transformer and chime (see photo provided) that are compatible with my new Ring Wired doorbell. I’m confident with almost all the instructions but one bit, the bit that talks about the jumper cable. Why would I want to jump the chime if it’s compatible, I want to use the existing chime and just replace the button? Where on the photo (supplied) am I connecting the jumper cable ??? Is it the two connections that I have circled in green … as believe these are the chime - as those I have circled in red are the main wires into the unit that go into the transformer first from the mains is that right ?

Hi @andya21. The Doorbell Wired is not compatible with any chime kit. It is designed to bypass the chime kit and be wired directly to a compatible Doorbell transformer.

Hence the jumper cable makes sense … what I was meaning is whether it’s comparable with the transformer seems to be from what I’ve read but just wanted a second opinion and to clarify where I put the jumper cable in the photo above.

Looking at the photo I would not jump those wires. The input (red circle) wires appear to be heavier gauge than the (green circle) low voltage and from what the transformer says it’s a 230v input to 14v output. Jumping the red and green will be dangerous.
