can i use a 16V 15VA doorbell Transformer with a ring pro? 15 foot run

Hello @Mikemike ,

For the Ring Video Doorbell Pro, according to the online Ring Support website:

  • 16-24 VAC 30VA (40VA max) and 50/60Hz (DC, halogen, and garden-lighting transformers not compatible).

Here is the Ring Support link:

You have the minimum 16 VAC (Voltage AC, V oltage A lternating C urrent), but you only have half the 30VA, the volt-amp ( watts ) rating of the transformer. It should be equal to or greater than the wattage requirement.

Sounds like you might have to upgrade your transformer.

I hope you find this information useful. :slight_smile:
