Was at a job for a different reason, but saw this and was curious.
Asked the tenant, and they didn't know what it was for either.

Any ideas? Its obviously come from a Hager DB sticker pack.

I'm guessing as its a 6A, smoke alarm?

I’d have guessed burglar alarm, but it does look like an old RWR symbol :-D
 
Smoke alarm would be my guess, but then I found this image:

Which has a different symbol far left which I'd guess is smoke alarm, or maybe heat alarm?

Given the standards on everything else, you'd think they'd have come up with a standard for symbols to be used on CU by now (At £150 per copy, naturally)
 
Google thinks the answer is Security Alarm.
 
What the heck is Circuit 3 ? Dustbin power ?
No idea - waste disposal maybe, but who runs that separately? Pop up sockets? seems a bit too niche to have a symbol....

Or maybe it's meant to be an immersion tank? That at least would make sense on a 16A, but not a great image...
 
Central vacuum cleaner? The ones that have a ducted outlet in the walls you plug hoses into.... or could simply be a hot water tank??

why don’t they use the printed stickers with words instead.... then you get to know which upstairs lights, downstairs light etc.... not just “lights”
 
circuit 3 must be the beer fridge.
 
This is why I never use the stupid stickers!
 
Think it's 'water heater'.
Silly idea the labels, just write it.

Most electricians writing is worse than a doctor, never seen a legible written one yet. Tin hat on.

i have to admit to neat writing. my lad on the other hand.... his looks like it's done by a drunken spider with parkinsons.
