Help with a wired Ring with a Nutone system

Hi forum! I'm at a loss for what to do and was hoping someone here could help me. I live in a home with a Nutone 3003 intercom system and digital chime. I recently purchased a Wired Ring video doorbell and am trying to install it. Unfortunately, the instructions online all center around setting up with a mechanical chime and bypassing it with the jumper cable. I've struggled to recreate this and have gone through the following options with bad results: 1. I just wired in my Ring without doing any bypassing. This was the only configuration where I was able to successfully get power to my Ring. However, I could not set it up because it would not spin white even when I pressed the side button. It just continuously flashes blue, and every 5 or so seconds, does a little click sound as the camera shifts to infrared and the blue circle gets a little brighter. A little hard to describe the pattern but it won't budge from this. 2. I opened up my Nutone to find the chime module. There is no 'trans' node like in the instructions, there's only 'common' and 'front' which both have wires. I've tried: connecting common and front with the jumper, leaving only common wired, leaving only front wired. For all 3 of these no power gets to the Ring. I'm not sure what else there is to do, and I can't find any good instructions on how to set up a Ring with a Nutone/digital chime. Could someone help me or point me in the direction of some resources? I called in, and all they said was I need to find the chime module and do the bypass jumper thing, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to do that and am not sure if this system is just more unique. Thank you so much!!

    Hi @hyperionloop. Most intercom systems use DC voltage, which is not going to be compatible with the Doorbell Wired. The Doorbell Wired is compatible with a 10–24 VAC, 40 VA maximum transformer. I would suggest installing a new [transformer](https://ring.com/products/hardwired-transformer) that matches the requirements of the Doorbell to [go directly to it and would not require installing the jumper cable](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405783047188-Wiring-Diagrams-for-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Wired-). You can also power up the Doorbell without using the jumper cable by using our [Plug-in Adapter](https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-plugin-adapter-gen-2). If you are not comfortable doing the installation, I strongly recommend consulting a qualified electrician for further assistance.
