Ring Video Doorbell
Ring video doorbell to use with Friedland D3230 "8V ~1 0A"
I’m wanting to get a Ring video doorbell, but I’m getting completely confused by the specific technical details of the different models & seemingly contradictory installation videos. I’m in the UK, which I see complicates matters & see some confusion about the required electrics. I have an existing “ding-dong” hardwired bell, which I see is on the compatible list: Friedland D3230 (photo attached) 8V ~1 0A Max 15W 220/240V 50 Hz I’d like for a new Ring doorbell to make the same “ding-dong” from my existing wired chime, as well as do the app alert, & possibly a plug-in Ring wireless chime too (eg. upstairs.) I see all the ring models except the ‘Elite’ say they can be hard wired. I’ve seen references to ‘bypass the existing doorbell chime’ & also to bypass the transformer with a Ring-branded one. I see most Ring Models require “8-24 VAC” & my chime appears to be “ 8V ~1 0A ” Could anyone with the knowledge please help me out & tell me which of the Ring models would be suitable to wire to my Friedland D3230 transformer set up, & keep the ding dong. Thank you!

Just the wired one will do, that can run on 8V. You'd just use the jumper cable that comes with it to connect 2 wires inside your existing chime. That's sends the power that would normally drive your chime down the wires to provide power for your Ring Doorbell (currently the bell push is just a switch).

A So from the above picture, does it mean place Jump cable between 3 and 1 as shown with red line? In a forum I read someone saying it should be between 3 and what is above 3 (the green line)

THi @atique. Thanks for sharing that picture! It looks like you only have wires going to the 1 and 3 terminals. If that is the case, then yes, I'd say the Jumper Cable goes there. Basically, you want to "jump" the terminals that have a wire going to the Doorbell and the transformer. I hope this helps!

Hi @Daz1970! Referencing the image above, the red line is the correct visual. Generally speaking, most chime kits will only be connecting your transformer and the button at your front door. When this is the case, the chime kit terminals that have wires connected will likely be the ones used for installation of your Video Doorbell. Always worth double checking, and we're glad you asked :)

1 stays where it is. 3 needs to be disconnected, and connected through the bypass cable to the terminal above it.

MI have the same doorbell and just bought a Ring (2nd gen). Are you saying move the wire at 3 to 1 and then connect a bypass cable between the wires? I have just looked at the ring installation instructions and it just says connect the ring or bell to both existing wires. It has the following - **Tip:** If wiring directly to a doorbell transformer, connect a 25 ohm, 50W wirewound resistor in series with one of the doorbell wires to protect your Video Doorbell. I think moving wire 3 to the location above may be directly connecting the existing wires but reading the ring instructions do we need to do this at all? I am confused!!

For the 2nd gen doorbell you should not need to touch anything in the chime. you should have one wire on 3 and the other on 1. You can set in the app if you want to ring the chime or not with the doorbell. The doorbell will light up white if successfully connected. The bypass cable instructions are only needed for Doorbell Wired, which can't ring a chime.

Hi neighbors. Each Ring Doorbell model may vary on the power specifications and the installation instructions. I encourage you to verify the power specifications for your specific doorbell model by checking the product page on Ring.com, or checking the original packaging. You can also locate installation instructions in our Help Center by searching for your specific doorbell model. Please also keep in mind that the Video Doorbell Wired will not ring your internal chime kit, while the other hardwired doorbells will ring compatible chime kits. For further assistance, you’re welcome to reach out to our support team.
