Bell wiring question

[Echo the husky]

the Ring Video Doorbell Pro I was trying to install

There was no mention of that in the first post!

The instructions in that link are not very clear, and are more suited to USA doorbells.

Simply connect one of your bell push wires to one of the transformer terminals.
Connect the other bell push wire to one end of the red wire supplied with the Ring, using the orange and grey connector supplied.
Connect the other end of the red wire to the other transformer terminal.

Thank you very much,

two additional questions:

1. If I unscrew the traditional push bell, there are three exposed bell cables, White, in addition to blue and orange. Do I just connect up the blue and orange to the terminals at the back of the new bell and tape up the white one ?

2. You mentioned the above diagram looked like it was for the US. I found this other one: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/a...-doorbell-direct-to-16-24-VAC-Transformer-US-

Is this along the same lines ?

I found this other one:

Yes, wire it like that.

If I unscrew the traditional push bell, there are three exposed bell cables, White, in addition to blue and orange. Do I just connect up the blue and orange to the terminals at the back of the new bell and tape up the white one ?

The push cable shown in photo 1 has 8 wires. Just pick 2 and use the same 2 at the other end.

What's going on?

What parts have been supplied in your ring kit?
What do the instructions provided with the product you have say?
One minute the instructions mention a red bypass wire with fuse, then they are mentioning a pro power kit.

It's all perfectly unclear.

This setup is designed to bypass the chime kit completely which means that the chime kit will not ring when the Pro is triggered.

It's a silent doorbell that costs £159.
To make it work, you must connect a bit of wire between some other unspecified wires inside something or other.
