    Gsm Dialler

    Flood panel only monitors two points in the same plant room as 200k damage done last year. It's a single activation from the flood panel, so a continuos 12 signal. It dials, control room enters the code and hangs up. Then it texts another number (me at the minute) then it does it again and...

    Gsm Dialler

    We've just installed a flood detection system coupled to a pyronix v2gsm dialler. The system is designed to monitor two local locations and in the event of leak, set alarm off and then dial a control room. The control room acknowledges the alarm, then contacts the relevant people who travel to...

    Why Always The Neutral?

    Just fitted 30 vandal proof light fittings, manufacturer fitted flex falling out of the neutral connector on 3 of them. Their push fit connections too, live and earth both ok - go figure.

    Suggestions For A Time-Switch

    We fitted one of these to cover the fans leaving the ground after a match: Timeguard DS3HD IP65 Boostmaster Time Delay Switch Not cheap but worked well. We had it set for the longest delay but it was adjustable via dip switches.

    Amd 3 Cable Supports

    I'm talking about clips inside sticky back trunking. Not light fittings or the like. I've never seen anything but red plugs used in the trunking, also never seen a problem caused by it.

    Amd 3 Cable Supports

    That's interesting, I would have thought the screw would conduct, helping the melting process. I was wondering about plug-less fixings such as "wall dogs" http://www.powers.com/product_2314.php

    Amd 3 Cable Supports

    I'm employed, so boss would need to ask, and he's agency and doesn't care. Feel like I'm urinating against the prevailing most of the time.

    Apple Charger Not Working At Home

    Mine did, but deteriorated to one side, then failed completely. Just guessing ☺️

    Amd 3 Cable Supports

    So... Can we fix a fire resistant clip inside sticky yt2 to a plasterboard ceiling with a rawl plug? Do we need to start using self drilling plasterboard fixings through sticky yt2? I've seen the question asked elsewhere but not seen an answer yet.

    Apple Charger Not Working At Home

    Is it a lightning connector that it uses? Are you using the same lead at home as the office. They are not very robust. I've had two that only charge when inserted a certain way. They won't charge when inserted, rotate 180 degrees and works fine. Don't like them myself, but stuck with them.

    A Glimpse Of The Future?

    My nephews daughter (15 month) toddles into her nannas and gets the iPad out and sits playing on it. Screams if they take it off her, so they don't.

    (British)Gas Bonding

    I've got picture somewhere of my Metrel easytest showing >3.3kohm on one socket of a double outlet and the other outlet with a socket tester plugged in showing ok. Nothing wrong with the double socket either. Conduit Earth with no continuity to the socket. I'll try to find it after little...

    (British)Gas Bonding

    Guy who serviced mine a month ago reckoned mine was ok at 2 ohms. I was seeing to the baby and didn't see any test gear appear, Odd though as I'm a TT with 50 ohms last time I checked. He clamped up when my wife blurted out "it should be my husbands an electrician" Can't see gas or water bond...

    (British)Gas Bonding

    Yes Kerch, that's my point. The outside is only 3-4 m away. I know our regs say ok, but she still frets because the engineer says it needs doing. Doesn't matter what I say to reassure her. Barx, there is no plumber just a guy repairing a boiler, who will charge a small fortune to do it. So...

    (British)Gas Bonding

    Seasons greeting people. Mother in law has had bg out to fix her boiler several times over the last few months. Each time they tell her the bonding is wrong and should be put right, it's bonded aprox 200mm after entering the property. They say it should be closer to their box. I've told her...

    Main Bonding Gas/water Impedance

    It maybe a college generated figure. I saw it on a PowerPoint or two. Also stated as max variation for outlets on a ring. No idea where it came from before that.
