Hi all

 

I was wondering what you one man bands do with regards to fused spurs

 

You've just sold a texecom wireless system to a domestic customer and what do you do about the power?

 

I'm interested as I'm starting to enter the domestic market and wanted to know the accepted solution

 

I know you registered boys will say spur always and it's down to the customer, which I agree.  But as I'm feeding the grudge purchase bottom end of the market I can't afford to be, that's how it has to be. 

 

Interested in your thoughts

You can plug the alarm on a grade 2 system.

Can you!

 

And that complies with the regs? 

 

Never knew that, cheers.

And if your a house bashing grade doesn't matter lol

not that i do but it has to be an unswitched socket at g2 iirc

That's for the tip

 

So do you'll get the customer to fit a spur?

Have it agreed that the customer is to provide unswitched unindicated FCU with 3A fuse, if it's not there come installation date provide a plug top and document as a temporary measure.

Seems a logical way to go. 

 

Is there a preference to when in a domestic you install the panel?

With long lead perhaps in some cases?

Are you PART P registered? You can install an additional socket or FCU without any need to notify the works. I always provide a U/S 3 AMP Spur myself included in the price of install. If there is any major chasing involved I fill the chase and explain it will need to be re-decorated by the customer. Suppose it depends how much time you have allocated to your job.
