Guest Oxo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Earth faults? Sounds like works being done and they have damaged a cable. Ask cerbs, he is the fire Expert here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjsturner Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 on loop 3 the earths were never terminated in the panel!but all the others were it was a rushed job by a large firm.and the owner is tight so doesent want the investigation time!could the lack of earth be an issue?

Guest Oxo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Deffinatly. If its cross bonded it could cause several issues. Again Cerbs is the man, but I feel he would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjsturner Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 cross bonded?could you elaborate on that one for me? i would imagine also as the system was installed by an electrical firm they prob linked fp earth with powes supply earths!see this all the time with sparks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjsturner Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 http://www.zetaalarmsystems.com/Fire-Alarm-Systems/ thanks for the reply. yea its the premier al4. its a **** panel but very easy to use i learnt it all without any manuals. its only slightly harder to set up loop relays as they dont work even when there learnt on you have to set up the zone and output type which wasent as straight forward as it could be!
