  1. that shocks me if true boom! boom! personally, sod that for a game of tin soldiers, if i fit one, has to have spur or plug, 3 amo fuse max i have always assumed the CU being mounted on a lump of timber is for insulation needs, or to get cables behind, but us that correct and still required? just tweaked my curiosity for some reason.
  2. But then, how often do you see a door bell transformer alongside the CU wired to a 32amp rcd with twin bell wire?
  3. the delay is so you have a chance to switch off and avoid calling key holders if you accidentally cause an activation during exit or entry. suggest check manual to allow dialler to cancel if alarm is switched off after activations, otherwise all you key holders will get a false call.

  5. and possibly fit 'pull up' resistors, should be in the dialler instructions.
  6. Chris Tarrent ran a show a while back, invited listeners to share their finds after moving into a house, one said she opened the under stairs cupboard to find a URN complete with ashes. he remarks "she could have made an absolute fortune selling it as 'ready break' to the cannibals".

  8. qfa,last thing i need is some fat old, wearing nothing but suspenders giving me the come on
  9. lol!. given i work mainly in domestic, found blue mags, questionable underwear, smelly cricket boxes, loads if 'secret' cash but never ever found sexual toys . one very prim and proper lady, flawed me with a remark. due to me needing access she found some of her husbands porno. showing multi entry sex, one male 'model' had an erect fence post like appendage, on seeing it she calmly remarks 'guess its somewhere to hang his hat'. just hilarious, un-expected reaction lol!
  10. as above these panels do like mains on before battery, this means you have little option than to have the panel lid open. please beware of the internal mains fuss block and your straying little pinky. for best safety, disconnect battery remove then restore power from the mains spur fuse unit (or plug) feeding AC power to the controls (that should be near it and marked).
  11. i enforce that rule (as shop steward) on Chubb Eastern, after 2 guys within a month fell asleep at the wheel, during a very heavy lightning spell, which back then you knew you would be out all night. i think only 3 systems nocked out by electrical storms since i started, nothing fried to dust, but knocked silly. suspect if this reduction is down to mainly using polly boxes instead of metal - anyone think the same?
  12. i use red/black for power, but i've seen green white done quit allot, think its a colour consistency preference. i.e. days if 4 core (obviously no G/W) for contacts, 6 core for detectors, so you could maintain the more common 4 core red/black for zone feed out, yellow blue for the zone return on DP systems. today eol means you can feed 3 detectors from an 8 core, commonly brown/orange would be to the furthest device or pab, but maintain green white as power. before anyone shouts and hollers, and gets all snotty, its what i have seen - not what i do.
  13. you need to reduce those bare wires, cut them down so casing nearly meets the connector block. be careful the resistors in the picture don't short out due to bare resistor leads and your exposed cable ends, which can happen as you close the lid. nice touch is to use some sleeve casing stripped from larger size surplus cable, and put it over the resistor leads. just as well you 'released' it the .
