Not sure why these two items need retesting next month...

...seeing as though they are just a couple of cable tidies laying on the floor next to a data rack!!

There was another 5 or 6 in the rack that had been tested too!!

Lol I've also seen TV and VCR remote controls with their own pat stickers.

So, I've just started doing some work for a local plumbing firm. Got a call this morning "can you come and install a wireless thermostat". Yeah no problem I think. Get to the site and apparently this system is fully installed and working.

This was what I found in the wiring center.

On the basis of that fine piece of work, I decided to dig a little deeper.

The full list of faults went like this:-

• No earth from the FCU supplying the heating
• Existing wireless thermostat was not connected - Cables were twisted together behind it's mounting socket... bare, no tape
• No demand connections to the boiler only the power supply - The demand control link was still in place so this thing has been running since it was turned on maintaining the temperature of the bypass loop

I don't do a lot of heating wiring, but I can follow a wiring diagram.

Not bad for my third attempt at central heating wiring if I do say so myself. Still room for improvement, but it all works as it should through a wireless programmer and a pair of wireless thermostats (one remote for the cylinder and one for a room). And I got a decent Zs at the boiler, so it's a winner

Where did all the cord clamps go?!

Nothing wrong with that at all, far better than most that I see, my only suggestion would be to fit a small piece of brown sleeving on the grey and black permanent & switched lives- and fit it close to the terminations.

A wet pants has been there before SC I expect they went in the bin.
