OhmKat Installation Guide

Updated 

Overview

OhmKat is a 3rd party supplier of Built in Transformer Power Supplies and Wireless Digital Chimes to support the SimpliSafe Video Doorbell pro.

The OhmKat Power Supply provides a DIY installation alternative, ensuring the Video Doorbell Pro is accessible to all SimpliSafe customers. It is simply a case of plugging in the power supply to a nearby outlet, and doesn't require a certified electrician to install.

Customers can chose to add the wireless digital chime that simply slots into the power supply set up. The OhmKat Wireless Chime has a choice of 27 different tones/melodies.

OhmKat products do not work in conjunction with any existing hard wired setup.

Installation

Setting up the OhmKat Power Supply:

  1. Thread the power cable through the back of the doorbells mounting plate, and then place the two ends of the split red & blue connection under the screws. Once the exposed wire is making sufficient contact, then begin to tighten the screw (Note: there is no requirement in which screw you should install red/blue wired.)

  2. Connect the transmitter as seen in the diagram above.

  3. Plug the chime receiver into an outlet within 50 feet of the transmitter, and then plug in the the Ohmkat power supply.

  4. Give the doorbell some time to power on. The button will light up orange while it is booting up, then turn to white when ready to set up in the SimpliSafe app.

  5. Open the SimpliSafe app, press on the hamburger menu in the top right, and then select “Add Device or Camera”

  6. Then proceed to select Video Doorbell from the options, and follow the on screen instructions.

  7. Once installation is completed, press the doorbell button. I chime should be heard from the doorbell itself, as well as the chime receiver. (Note: if the chime receiver fails to chime, relocate the chime receiver closer to the transmitter)

Setting up the Wireless Chime & Receiver:

  1. While plugged in, change the volume and chime tune on the chime receiver as desired. These are the first and second buttons respectively.

  2. Press and hold the volume button on the chime receiver. You will hear two beeps. The receiver is now in pairing mode.

  3. While still holding the volume button, ring the doorbell three times quickly. You should hear one beep from the chime receiver. This indicates successful pairing. Release the volume button.

  4. Your chime is now paired. Ring the doorbell to test.

Pairing additional Wireless Chimes:

You can pair up to 10 chimes to a single transmitter.

  1. Plug in the second non-paired receiver into a outlet. With the transmitter plugged in at the split connection, do the following:

  2. Press and hold the volume button. (Do not hold it for more than 5 second or all pairing will be deleted.)

  3. Then simultaneously press the doorbell button three times quickly in succession so that the transmitter sends a pairing communication to the receiver. You should hear the chime ring. As soon as the chime rings release the volume button. Just make sure that in the SimpliSafe app the chime setting is on.

  4. Repeat no. 3 if not successful. Once it rings, it is paired.

  5. Once paired both receivers will ring when the bell is pressed. Repeat the process for any
