So if i were to carry on with this job, should i ask if it has been LOLER inspected recently or ever? I can guess at what the answer will be.Considering it was installed 1989, do they ever get checked, it is a one man garage firm not main dealers. Also would the inspector need to be there as...

Nope, nearest rad is 2m away. It is above front door looking back into room, double checked it is set for large dogs, but they are usually locked in kitchen.Ill try the other tests as suggested earlier and let you know what happens.

@KME, 1)Never said it wasnt my responsibility, only mentioned it wasnt my wiring so i dont know actual pathing for it. 2)why shouldnt it be a PIR, just because its by a door or are magnets/contacts more reliable? @Barx, it wasnt because it went off all the time, the tv distribution in the...

and again the gremlins eat my reply omg. Thanks guys for replies. @Barx its a PIR near door so no contacts/magnets. No idea where the wires run as they were from preexisting damaged alarm so could be piggybacking the mains for all i know. Ill try different pair in cable after reterming them...

Hey guys, Looking for some help with an alarm. Installed for customer, new alarm panel, caller system, keyfob panel and pet friendly PIRs. All tested and working ok i thought. Have had two instances of alarm going off, calling customer via the caller system and no evidence of intruder or...

aaargh post eaten for some reason!!!!!! M107, scales would be 1:2500 and 1:500 Manator, would that mean a license needed for a one time use? cannot see me doing another of these if avoidable, but you never know. One more question, form asks for the KVA required for the property, would this be...

Thanks guys. Im going to print the page about Regularisation Certificates from building control and take those with me, a PIR should cover some of the points on that page i would have thought. Although "However, this can only be done if you are willing to uncover the work to the extend we need...
