[Switch Off Pyronix Wireless Pir Led]

an led will use a load of battery in the scheme of low power the less time its on the better for life imo

I agree. The LED will probably be the most current draining component on the board, while it's on.

Any wireless stuff will have greater battery life with LED's disabled completely.

[Are Council's Destroying Our Roads?]

Another road soon to be destroyed by the council's...

They've only just finished buggering up The Cresent (A6) now Deansgate (A56).

Deansgate will be closed to vehicles on a 6 month trail basis.

Getting around Manchester city centre for engineers/deliveries/services will be fun.

[Roller Shutter 1 Or 2 Contacts?]

2 contacts confimed right away, or intruder if lifted from one side..

Beam Pair if on seperate zones or series

One action shouldn't send a confirmed.

Like fitting Shocks or BGU's too close together, for example.

[Sl Compact Alrm User Manual]

Chime > 0 > Reset. Will disable chime feature.

If you haven't had your alarm serviced in a while, I think it would be a good idea.

The alarm panel shouldn't change any programming (switch chime on), if you have a power cut.

[Use Staples?]

but for coax? a no-no imo.

I think it would depend on the quality of the cable, and insulating material.

Never seen any problems on site with un-insulated ones.

There 14mm long so hardly push on the cable at all.

I would if I used one. Someone makes a staple with a "small plastic bridge" for want of a better description, so it only goes as deep as the leg. Hence it wont crush the cable. Think Ive even seen it advertised for Sparkies?

Insulated Staples. Used one for Mains/Shotgun Cable very handy, staples can work out expensive tho.

There's a new type called UTAC which is a solid plastic staple, no metal at all.

UTAC staples are ideal for fixing to wood, fibre-board, all types of wood boards, plasterboard and even solid insulation blocks such as thermalite

arrow, still think no more than 50 volts ?

Only insulated/non metal staples if voltage higher than ELV.

I would be lost without my staplers, used correctly they make cabling look tidy.

[Are Council's Destroying Our Roads?]

Well that's bound to happen James, nobody will blow your own trumpet for you.

Council's still have to much power just wait 'til the funding comes back.

A number of council's now have a policy to eventually make all single carriage NSL's, 50.

To change a speed limit they have to put up for a minimum of three weeks, on-site A4 notices with the changes. This gives people the right to object to the Order.

Can the driving public spot these. Even if you do, have you the time to stop and read them to find out what there for.

What they haven't also realised is all this "road furniture" requires a lot more maintenance then a white line or two.

Lots of this paint and signs you can bearly make out, but will not be repaired as there's now "no money".

[Are Council's Destroying Our Roads?]

Plenty of tame feckers though, doing 35 in a 60 should be punishable by fire

This is part of the problem.

If someone is dithering at about 35-40 in a 50 (compared to a 60/NSL), you can no longer safely overtake without breaking the speed limit.

To add to that when you do commit yourself in a nice spot, the feckers speed up.

You are then forced to pull back in thanks to the council for sticking a pointless crossing bollard in the road.

After all that, you are still stuck behind the ditherer doing 35-40; having to brake needlessly for slight sweeping bends.

A calm driver is a safer driver

They need to stop wasting money painting pointless lines and reducing speed limits (then having to add repeater signs every xxx yds because of this)

Sort the road surface out there are a terrible amount of holes (some made by the services) left to fill.

Road safety is deeper than extra paint and a few signs IMO.

[Are Council's Destroying Our Roads?]

Noticed for a while now our roads (UK) are slowly being destroyed by local councils.

Recently I have noticed most of the A/B classed formally "national speed limit" sections of road are now 50 or even 40 MPH in my area (North West).

Combined with more and more random cross hatchings there efforts are to "deter overtaking".

It's working, causing driver's to get frustrated and make rash decisions.

IMO if they taught how to overtake correctly there would be no need for this.

I'd have no problem if speed limits were reduced in high accident areas.

Many are not accident areas and have been reduced to below government guidelines.

Most of us are on the road a lot, do you feel driving becoming more of a chore?

Are drivers becoming more and more aggresive and frutrated? Opinions?

[Pac Anti Tamper Screwdriver]

Adi, but it doesn't appear to have the triangular type socket I require mate.

How about this set? 62 Piece!

[Texecom Premier]

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

I still stand by my statement, you can't leave a customer waiting for a week with no follow up.

[Texecom Premier]

I don't think Rulland meant that you were the cowboy but that anyone who made that mistake was.

I agree, I read it as a statement not a dig at you personally!

[Texecom Premier]

I have called the company that sold me the alarm and he says hes not very familiar with that alarm (great) and i'm waiting for a phone call back, it's been over a week now.

They do not want your custom and don't really deserve it IMO.

I would as mentioned, find an approved company (that use Premier preferably) to takeover and check the system.

They can then correctly program the system for your needs.
