    Lol, used to like my trips to ARCO when I worked in t'Hull. 

     

     

     

    Everything I've worn for the last 15+years has come from either Screwfix or ARCO and I noticed recently that most of my mates are the same, no wonder the high streets are dying.

    I know someone who modelled for ARCO, regularly featured in the catalogue, good looking lad.... welding masks

     

    I thought it was wind up but I recognise the workshop in the back ground

     

    What type of boots was he wearing?

  3. I tried to buy Dr Martens from ARCO recently and was told they dont stock them any more? Ended up with ARCO's own brand alternative, which are *****, already falling apart and all I do these days is walk the dog.

  4. Hi everyone.

    I am new to alarm installations and currently working for a small firm while off too college. I am working on smaller installations but really enjoying it. I am particularly looking to learn more about IP systems.

     

    Be asking lots of questions for sure.

     

    Welcome, ask away. Also, since its a long time since many on here went to college feel free to let us know whats on the course.

  5. I can see the connections being an issue with test results on that.

     

    Having said that I might buy one but just as a customer realtions tool (so they can see the results) and not a tool to be introduced into our RM procedure as we just dont need to test.

  6. The problem is a litium cell will loose approx 0.5 - 2% of its capacity a year depending on brand. Couple this with the low power draw of wireless devices the curve just drops of completely very quickly.

    The difficulty for the manufacturers is at what point do thy report a low battery. Too early and it looks like its running out of batteries, too late and the low battery running time is either very short of non existant.

     

    The low voltage volts will depend on the manufacturer and cannot imo be the same for all manufactures.

     

    I suppose the answer is to have it programmable so the maintainer can choose when it goes into low battery and how long it will function for in tht state before the supervision failure
