Nutted means Headbutted or struck with ones forehead.

Also known as a Glasgow Kiss.

And most of us have learned the hard way why you have to wire a diode across the relay coil ( does EMF spring to mind :hmm: ) blowing lots of switching transistors ....doh!!!!! :realmad:
I like to see new trainees/engineers get their head around wiring and connecting things like the old Monive panel.

It makes them think about what they are doing then they understand it more.

Manufactures are making it to easy from them now, they just connect the circuit to panel, program panel, function works. No understanding of how it works - no need to think!

??? Manufacturers are making it too easy ??? What are you going on about?

Manufactuers add functionality to new panels because they can - surely anything which makes an engineers life easier is a good thing? Just because an older alarm may have required relays and other bits to make it work doesn't make it any better than a new alarm..

Younger engineers don't alway know how to use electronics components because day to day they don't need to!
