I hate RSD contacts they fail far to often for my liking.

We have started fitting 2 x Guardall DT 15+ at each side of the shutter (with the mask connected as we only fit G3 Galaxy on monitored jobs)

Our Fa rate is very low and we dont get stupid callouts to rotten RSD contacts.

Even if the job is G2 we connect the mask on 99.9% of the detectors.

QFA

I thought the point of using door contacts is to ensure the site is secured before the sub leaves ?

eg-- leave stock in the door way & return to nab once everyones gone home ?

As did I? Think most insurers think the same.

ditto, to stop the setting procedure, also trap protection only leaves a higher probability of fa's

KP do plaggy spacers to lift G3's of metal surfaces, I wonder in 5mm of plaggy would help prolong the life of RSC which oftend sit in the wet ?

We use them on most RSC's now, seem to have much less trouble.

Many, many years ago I had a friend who worked for a company called Magnetic Shields.

He used to give me 'off cuts' of one of their magnetic shields, they were like pieces of soft black cardboard about 4 or 5mm thick.

I used to cut it to fit the size/shape of the magnet to be fitted and used that as the spacer, absolutely no problems, even the heaviest magnet would not 'stick' to the most solid metal door.

Wish I still had access to this.

I don't quite follow you?

I'm saying one of these bunged under the contact

Just spotted this and whilst I'm sure this has been resolved by now    our F10CMULTI (G2) is suitable to be wired two to a zone, as is our YF10C (G3).  Sections of wiring diagrams below (full diagrams available for download at the links):
