Guest G.J.M Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I have already admitted NACOSS installers are better equipped for maintenance and elecs are better for install with regard to fire. In my opinion for what its worth i wouldn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb-eye Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 i am not confusing the two.Name and shame them and get them removed from what?.I sincerly doubt they know this site exists because none of them can work a pc. Don't take this as a rant,just a reply. 50021[/snapback] GJM I am not suggesting removing them from this site. I should explain. NSI have written to all gold installers and told them in words that have no other meaning "companies achieving the bare minimum will be downgraded to NSI silver" I am NACOSS gold I do not want to be associated with any other NACOSS gold company that is not prepared to achieve the highest standards. If a NACOSS gold company has been removed from a POLICE list they should be reported WITHOUT FEAR of repercussion to the NSI. This will serve to improve our industry protect jobs and kick butt of poor management. If you are NOT prepared to name the company concerned please refrain from hearsay and tickle tackle on a Public forum.Jef Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secboy Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This topic has developed into an interesting discussion, i was interested to read the reply that a security installer was given the task of installing a fire system with no training and that the compliance of the installation relied on his own concern to do the job right and research the subject how many times have we heard this method for installing a system? we've all been in the situation of being given a cardboard box with kit in it which we have never seen before no pre install training and told to "get on with it" OK! to a certain point it could be argued that muddling on like that is not life threatening for intruder and cctv but it certainly is for fire. Even with intruder and cctv the arguement that poor install training will not lead to a life threatening situation is difficult to successfully defend if a PA button is not working when it should and leaves someone being attacked with no hope of intervention or a cctv not giving the quality it should leaves the purpertrator of an attack leading to death free to kill again, over dramatic? not if you are the victim. With fire the arguement is in my opinion totally indefensible, a system which does not comply can directly lead to death! but its all well and good having training but why are the regs so vague and ammended by individual fire brigade areas , I've been down this road before on this forem and round and round we go in a circle. Regulation of the industry MUST be tightened up for ALL of us who are professional and the general public to get the quality which should be standard, if that means that the regulatory authorities which have become so self defending and impotant should be replaced then so be it lets have a UK global authority with clout that will control the cow boys and promote the professionals. Ooops sorry I've lost self control again!! but does anyone agree??? regards Paul. banghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3,M etc. i take it you mean Newlec?not for me but we all have our preferences. if it was one room at 1800m2 it would require approx 18 smoke detctors if relevant to the category. one smoke detector will cover 100m2 in large areas the first detector should be 5.3m from wall with 10.6m between detectors.

Guest G.J.M Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 It all depends on what the roof is like? There is different calculations for varying angles of roof. I take it you mean dusty from the hay? you would need to find out Height of ceiling Flat/angled roof I recommend Apollo Detectors which is a personal preference and i use Morley Horizon Conventional panels or use a beamset .
