Litch90 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 23 hours ago, andy™ said: grade D can be connected to their own dedicated circuit or a regularly used lighting circuit my preference is with the lights, more so because if there is a fault its usually noticed sooner and less likely to be ignored and left unfixed, but one drawback is its probably more likely to trip in the first place due to it being used for other purposes. considering both sides, id say overall risk of it being left unfixed is less if its on with the lights Agreed, in theory that one SD is not really going to blow a 13 amp fuse in the FCU is it. Unfortunately it couldn't have its own independent circuit at this stage as i've already wired the property. Lack of planning i guess.

andy™ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 would only need a 3 or 5 a fuse if it was from a spur, but 5839 does state lighting circuit and not general power circuit if going wired / grade D, you would also need a cable to interlink them, unless you fit something link aico with radio bases and take a supply to each one from a nearby light (assuming there is a permanent live there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both smoke/heat and Co on my home alarm (wired in 8 core and wireless) and they function better than s/a imo.

I'm familiar with 5879.. but not to your level. Whats it this 72 hour standy you mentioned? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
