Using your Retrofit Alarm Kit
After you have completed your setup, you can arm and disarm your Ring Alarm
as usual. You can adjust your entry and exit delays within the Ring app at any
time. Click here to learn more about setting Entry and Exit delays.
Your Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit will work similar to your Ring Contact Sensors, but you
should remember that any settings you customize will apply to all wired sensors
within that zone, and not a single door or window.
If you want to test your Ring Alarm, temporarily switch your Ring Alarm from pro-
fessional monitoring to self-monitored (if applicable). This will allow you to set o
the alarm and sound the siren without sending a signal to request emergency
dispatch.
You can enable and disable zones on your Retrofit Alarm Kit as needed using the
Ring app. A disabled zone will not be armed when you arm your Ring Alarm in
Home or Away Mode.
If you need to temporarily bypass a door or window that uses a wired contact
sensor, you will need to bypass all zones on the Retrofit Alarm Kit. As an alternate
option, you can also disable that zone within the Ring app, and enable it when
you no longer need to bypass the sensor.
You can also learn how to add other types of wired zones to the
Retrofit Alarm Kit.
