  1. Same tech also

    We tend to fit one, never been pulled up about it, then either DT, or AX across the door

    still no confirmed if they check which end is contacted and pop the other.

    We have had to fit beams on a few sites due to being rammed with fork lift and not activating the contacts.

  2. lol

    however the point being take home is relative to hours worked. Some s.e peoples hourly rate makes me lol.

    very true, being a lazy **** I do ok.

    One thing that makes it worth the longer hours (not 15 though!) is having something to sell at the end.

  3. Being the cynic....

    I suspect a nice mediocre white collar carrer will bring greater rewards with little risk & none of the hassle of being self empployed in this industry ?

    I would agree, but a wouldnt last long enough being told what to do etc to get to that point. Saying that I take home a fair bit more than any of my mates and no they are not all paupers :lol:

  4. I have a little oap club that would use that app, the daft old dears keep leaving their fobs at home and the manager has to come down to let them in.

    Why not go for a cheap dialler or cctv relay (if they have it).

  5. As far as I can see from this post, it's a grade 2 system so you'll be fine with a single contact.

    That is not correct, the grade makes no difference to the amount of contacts. If the shutter requires 2 due to size then it gets 2. We tend to go with a contact and IR beam these days due to shutter being cut or rammed.

  6. Well I haven't gave the G3 option any thought because it's a G2 system but.....correct me if I'm wrong thats why I'm on this forum, the circuit wiring will stay the same but the RS's will need to have magnetic tampering detection the JB's are already G3 so no change there. Is there anything else?

    He is just trying to catch you out, trick question.

  7. Before you all condemn the alarm company ..... we don't know yet if they installed it or just sold the kit to the OP.

    Daft however you look at it IMO. ie. selling gear to public or installing equipment you don't support.

    Or it could be a pro company with coms contract and customer is after a free reset on here :lol: we would never know.

  8. just a bit more time for meself, just to have a little extra time to organise meself and i would be happy.

    Ive not enough hours in the day, thats the cause of me stress.

    If thats the case you would be better with part time admin and maybe a trainee/apprentice IMO, would cost you same as one fully qualified engineer. You need to look at what YOU would rather be doing, paperwork or installs?

  9. Don't expect your stress level to go down will ya

    lol, ain't that the truth, more staff = more problems. Only way to go though if you want to earn decent £££ over a sustained period IMO.

    One thing i will say about this game, i don't have any friends my age that earn the same as i do, so although its hard i don't see a time i will ever go back to cards in, i wouldn't know what to do with myself.

    PS: To anyone reading this and thinking about making the jump, in this current climate i would say some of the newer firms on here are the exception to the rule, alot more go to the wall, infact atleast one who osted in this thread has gone tits up twice in as many years. So think about it!!
