matthew.brough Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 a bit harsh old boy Not really. There are things you do as a diyer and there are things you let a pro do. Putting some sealant is something I could do myself but playing with a boiler is a plumbers job. There is a time when you get the pro in and if someone can't wire up a simple relay and doesn't know what C NC NO means then that to me is an indicator that someone is way out of their depth. You also don't get electrocuted by listening to Cubits advice. iirc Paxton recommend a separate power supply for mag-locks If he doesn't know how to wire a relay, multi power supplies isn't something I'd think would be his cup of tea? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 we all started somewhere, I agree but the first think I learned with was a heap of scrap from B&Q. I didn't by a galaxy and jump in at the deep end. he will learn from mistakes Hopefully. Lets hope he sticks to 12v and not mains otherwise he might not get the chance to further his knowledge www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope he sticks to 12v and not mains otherwise he might not get the chance to further his knowledge iirc last time see a Paxton kit - no engine was fitted tbh. so do we close the public section, just in case a DIY'r having been shown how to wire up a door bell decides to now build and test build a propane filled rocket - because he can now wire and press that button with a source of ignition from the points of a buzzer? better wipe that incase i give someone a bad idea ( If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

morph Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hmm. Diyer playing with pro kit If want to some water in my windscreen wipers I do it. If I want the engine changing I get a mechanic to do it. You don't have to help in the DIY section same as a customer choosing to do it himself or get an engineer in. If you don't agree with the kit and DIY don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
