arfur mo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 the hole thing was a joke.it looked like you were struggling to make your point. are you saying in mrs miggins house you would wire an additional psu just incase bob gets fruity with his hammer? im not saying its wrong its great but you obviously work for yourself cus most firms wouldent pay the extra for such a rare occorance if i'm struggling, it's to get others to see the serious advantages and merits of spltting supplies onto dedicated fuses, but at east keep the main items running should the worst happen. it's not a case of wiring an additionl PSU for this (which i do on bigger jobs) but splitting up via fuses to stop a short on a pir (which happens quit a lot if mr decorator from eastern eurpean country, decides to remove the detector before servicing the boiler and killing the keypads. unfortunetly you correct perhaps firms won't pay the extra, but thats where i part company and association with those companies who would claim they are high quality - not in my eye's . to me, and not aimed at anyone in this discussion, when i see work done that way as you do in life, i feel it draws the line in the sand between a true alarm engineer/installer and the run of the mill 'alarm fitter'.

arfur mo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 so your saying because its diy we should advise him to put more kit in? carpet fitters?so after all that from the pro it seems you dont mind running cables next to gripper!priceless your making assumptions, where did i say that i run any cable next to carpet gripper? but who can assume the o/p has not? i've never worked for BT either, but then the skirting is usually their domain and i'm no good at such heights .
