ring doorbell

[333rocky333]

I have i believe a ring doorbell 5 i have lost the book, scanning internet it seems i need an AC transformer, however the transformer i bought is a Ring plug in job, but it appears to be DC .
Bit confused what is right to do as Ring do not seem to sell an AC version.
Obviously i know i could buy a third party transformer AC or DC

Most are AC. Even if you get a DC one and it doesn't work, it won't harm the doorbell.

Given your profile pic, I'm really surprised you haven't quoted the meme

i believe a ring doorbell 5

I believe the official name for the five, is the 'Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus", and from the installation manual...

And from t'net, the rear may look like this...

Yes all correct thats what i was seing and the back is the same with the same label, thanks, though i find it odd why Ring only seem to sell a Dc transformer which seems to be DC with unmarked spade ends when tested with a meter., it also suggests putting the seemingly unmarked positive line to the left terminal.
Some internet sites suggest bell does not work properly when connected reverse polarity but i believe they may have the Ring 2.
I thought at first maybe it actually runs on DC but has a rectifier inside to run it from there AC transformer, but no it dont work.
Enven read the transformer reviews and all were positive so i can ony assume they must have older versions of the doorbell
