Trust me it is!! The way they wired them 30 years ago before PCB's became the norm. Means if one phone gets faulty or one loose connection it brings down the entire system and affects everyone! As you can imagine the other home-owners are not happy haha.

Yes sorry it's the slang for the style up here, you have much experience with it?

Came across a wee thinker of a fault today regarding an old secure entry system in a tenement block. To save myself and yourselves time I'm basically asking if anyone on here is familiar with this style of wiring and these systems and if they are i will explain the fault in alot of detail! Thank...

Interesting the difference! Probably should have mentioned that 99% of my work is fault finding as its all repair based. Thanks but.

Trust me I get where you's come from regarding what testers, simply use the multi meter as more handy for tight board cupboards etc. much appreciated though!

Do alot of work on controlled entry systems, needs to pretty accurate when measuring ohms over long distance runs etc basically a meter that doesn't ******** me on the job haha, thanks alot will have a look at the fluke range!

Don't know how many guys on here use them on everyday working but if so, anyone got a decent brand to recommend that gives accurate readings? Seen a lot but priced a bit too cheap to believe their anymore than a volt/continuty tester. Thanks!

This test is not deemed mandatory but most employers won't hire someone who can't pass it. Deals with simple maths and physics to sort out numptys from everyone else with a brain.

Passed my FICA test( Scottish version of the AM2 i believe) last week, start tradesmen duties this week thought joining the forum would be a good idea to keep the sparky side of the mind learning! Hi to all.
