In this video we teach you how to check your doorbell transformer voltage. It's good to know your doorbell transformer voltage if you plan on installing a Ring or Nest Doorbell. Typically the Ring Pro Doorbell requires 16V and the Nest Hello requires 16V to power the smart doorbell.

This method of testing the doorbell transformer voltage will work for both regular doorbells and smart doorbells and is valid for both the Nest and Ring Doorbells.

To test doorbell transformer voltage you need a multimeter. There are a ton of multimeters on the market but I like the Etekcity Auto Multimeter: [ Ссылка ] because it automatically sets to the correct settings, it's simple to use and has a low cost. They also make a manual meter that is lower priced: [ Ссылка ] that will get the job done but requires you to have a better understanding of the settings.

If you are getting no power signal from the Ring Doorbell transformer it most likely means that your doorbell transformer is burnt out and you will need to replace it. If you are getting a reading less than 16V it is typically not enough for a smart doorbell and you will need to replace your doorbell transformer. This video shows you how: [ Ссылка ]

If you have more than 16V you have enough for a smart doorbell and can install the Ring 2, Ring Pro or Nest Hello Doorbell. It also should be noted that the if you are getting more than 10V but less than 16V you can use the Ring 2 smart doorbell which requires only 10V: [ Ссылка ]
