    Fire alarm panel. Don’t recognise fault code

    No accreditation need to install it, you just follow their spec and design. Technically you don’t need any qualifications to carry out a service other than being competent. But as it is with anything how do you define being competent? Personally some basic FIA courses would cover you on that...

    Fire alarm panel. Don’t recognise fault code

    If it’s going to be a new EMS system going in, then contact them and they will come and do a survey, design the new system and come and commission it once you’ve installed it.

    Disabled toilet alarm

    Is the fire alarm an addressable type? If yes, then way I’ve done it on the past is to fit an input relay onto the fire alarm, connect the toilet alarm to that, then have the fire alarm sounder in the office to activate when the toilet alarm activates. Obviously different tone etc to the normal...

    MX Pro 5 fire alarm panel programming

    You might be right with the numbers but I always just follow what it says in the sticker. The cause and effects are what is set up for when the panel goes in to fire etc like you said if doors release, has shut down etc The programmer only sets the address number for the device, once the panel...

    MX Pro 5 fire alarm panel programming

    There should be a sticker on the base to tell you what number terminals are in and out, I know it’s 1+2 for live and 5+6 for the 0v but can never remember what is the in and out. The addresses are set using a Hochiki programming tool. You’re right with regards to L1 and the address number but...

    C-TEC fire alarm compatibility

    Personally just rewire it so it’s done correctly, you’re asking for problems in my opinion. It’s not ideal to have so many zones in such a small system. Have you considered how it and if it meets fire regs etc? Is the commissioning engineer happy for it to be possibly done the way you’re looking...

    Emergency Lights 30 cm away?

    Have you thought about appropriate signage? If you have a fire alarm installed are the emergency lights gonna provide enough light at the appropriate areas? A test facility to be able to carry out a discharge test in the future without having to isolate the whole lighting circuit? The areas the...

    Mobile Homes - routing cables etc

    The wall is constructed normally plywood, glue, polystyrene insulation and structural timber, glue then finally aluminium. It will be an absolute nightmare to try and get the cables through the insulation unless there’s already trunking in the wall cavity.

    Electrics and Touring Caravan

    The electrical check carried out during the Caravan service isn’t the most detailed. Most of it would of been a visual check along with checking the all the socket polarities are correct and that they switch correctly. The rcd trip times are tested at should be noted on the service sheets. The...

    Caravan Electrics (20 chars - have we still not fixed this?!)

    There's no problem clipping it to the floor, there will already be cables, gas pipes etc clipped to it. I'd be tempted to do the same as the water heater switches but towards the front of the bed box. Cut the hole out with a jab saw, just take your time as the furniture board is often quite thin...
