Hi, I've done a bit of investigation today and I'm pretty certain it is a radial. Referring back to the diagram from the socket highlighted in blue there are 2 further sockets connected to it. I've not yet been able to confirm where the other 2 cables go. Is the practice of branching off a...

Thanks for the quick replies! I assumed (probably wrongly) that this was a ring and the only time I've ever seen a socket with 3 cables coming out is if one was going to a spur?

Hi, I have recently moved house and I am just about to put up a partion for a new utility area in our garage. I was having a look at the electric sockets today and trying to work out if any new ones are required and I am a bit puzzled with the setup. Below is a very simple diagram of what I...

Hi thanks all for the replies much appreciated, I've done some more reading today and it does say in the manual that the 4K7 and 2K2 resistors can be used but as you say securiam the EOL values cannot be changed on the panel with the LCD keypad so looks like that is a none starter if I'm using...

Hi I have just got a Texecom Excel alarm and I'm in the process of fitting PIR's etc. I have been trying to get my head around EOL wiring (i've never come accross this before) and I was hoping someone could advise me if I have understood it correctly and my proposed wiring is correct. From...

Thanks I will do that and have a look at all what you suggested thanks again for the help!

I'll get onto them and see what they say then! What would i be asking for? Sorry for all the stupid questions but this is all going over my head! Do you think i should not bother removing the old cable for now then? or is this something i'll be able to do??

Thanks for that (I think) i'm finding out a bit more than i wanted to hear tho i think but better knowing now while the house is in pieces. If i ask the electricity supplier to change their end how much is that likely to cost me?? Yep I'll get another picture of that for you!

Sorry mate you lost me with that, couldn't explain that a bit for me could you??

Here's a few more pic's, hope these help?

Here's a few more Pic's hope they make things a little clearer! Thanks again for all the help it's much appreciated!!

Thanks for the quick reply again! So if i have read this correctly you think i'll be ok to remove the redundant cable ok as long as i switch it off and do not touch the thick cables coming in??

Thanks hopefully this will show the pic now.

Doesn't look like the pic worked can i email you it??

Thanks for the quick reply here is a pic of the fuse box (hope it works). Is this the Wylex Fuse box you were talking about??

I need to remove a cable that was used for a light switch for some wall lights the previous owners of the house had installed, I have traced the cable back and it goes straight into the fuse box (old style one which uses fuse wire). As I don't want to leave the bare cable in the wall I was...

There was no isolator box to be seen anywhere but I managed to get one put in last night and it's now working a treat! Thanks for the help!!!

Thanks for the reply, I have just had a look and I can't see an isolator switch anywhere so doesn't look like this was put in properly in first place then! You can prob guess my next question how do i put an isolator switch in for the fan? will this just get connected somewhere between the...

I have recently bought a new (old) house and I am slowly replacing light fittings and sockets etc. I am currently trying to replace the old Extractor Fan in the bathroom that no longer works. I have swapped the old fan with a new timer fan, it is connected to the bathroom lights (same as the...
