    Code for no SPD on new build

    I usually code no spd with no code or a C3. However I have been sent to check compliance with BS 7671 on some new builds, there is no SPD present. We usually say the date installed does not make a difference to coding but it does in a way. The same may apply if Arc Fault Detection Device not...

    The big stately home I’ve been working in has an EMS 5096 alarm system with over 100 detectors and 3 (that I know of) panels. All detectors are battery powered and radio back to its closest panel. All panels are also radio linked together. They get the odd fault code which is usually a flat...

    A pull-cord shower switch is located in Zone 2 of a bathroom, including the ceiling base containing the electrical connections.

    I have a ninja foodie air fryer. I've been already felt with customer support, but this was beyond their abilities. When I hit start it runs for a moment, stops, displays "FooDi", and then turns off. Sometimes it runs properly. I haven't found any mention of that error online. Thoughts?
