Below is a list of diagrams to support the proper setup of SkyBell. We recommend you install SkyBell with a low voltage transformer and a wired, analog doorbell chime.
Power Setup Diagrams
- Transformer with Doorbell Chime
- Transformer Setup – No Doorbell Chime**
- 12 DC Adapter – No Doorbell Chime**
* This is the recommended setup for SkyBell
** This setup requires a 10 ohm / 10 watt resistor. Buy approved resistor.
** This setup requires a 10 ohm / 10 watt resistor. Buy approved resistor.
Resistor Setup Details
If you are not using a doorbell chime, you MUST use a 10 ohm / 10 watt resistor on one connection between SkyBell and the power source. Here is a detailed image of a setup for a low voltage transformer and a 12 VDC power supply. (Click to see a larger image)
