Hi folks, I just happened to stumble across the site when searching for a dialler and I have to say there a lot of brilliant threads with very good advice.

I also noticed the Sparks get a lot of abuse im one myself, been at it about 14years and love it. Although im mainly in to heavy site work any thing up to 300mmSQ

I fit the odd alarm mainly for friends and family as a favour and use the Texacom range.

Welcome to the asylum - if you can ignore the odd jibe at being a diy-er then you should find the general sections of use (just don't ask for anything that warrants a "call in the experts" response for god sake!!!!).

I would not trust the average sparks to get system stable, neat & to the correct standard (pd6662 / en50131)

Nor would I expect you to trust the average alarm man to get an electrical installation to be safe, neat & to the correct standard (bs7671)

could be worse.......... or an IT professional as we call 'em

funny that cause i'm a fully trained spark and can install commision systems to En503-1 at all grades, aswell as CCTV, so its not that uncommon. and in my experience sparks are much more neater at installing than most security installers.

I assume you mean EN 50131 / PD 6662, though I doubt unless your ssaib / nsi your own, or have read the standards, do much Grade 4?
