With AFDD's, my understanding is that if a new electrical signiture/waveform/noise pattern from a new product gets created on the mains line that gets falsley detected as an arc, it can be addressed by a firmware update rather than having to swap the entire AFDD breaker out.
As for internet...
I know two of the AFDD's did say update avalible on the app and started updating, whether the other two were allready up-to-date or updated in the background, i'm not 100% sure. All 4 AFDD's were purchased at the same time.
My AFDD's are:
32A Kitchen sockets
20A Downstairs sockets
20A...
App was down day before yesterday ironicly when I phoned support, app is now working and I have updated all 4 AFDD's of mine, although I think the AFDD that was tripping was allready up to date...or that it updated in the background without me realsising when I connected it by bluetooth.
Because I splashed out for them in my own choice thinking they were a good idea, a bit like when RCD's were first introduced.
As for why I chose Hager, becuase I have known it as a reptuable brand of distrubution boards.
So my new Hager board in my new house has AFDD's and I have been getting frequent nusciance trips in the last week, due to things like my air fryer and sds drill causing series arc faults. (AFDD in question flashes Red/Yellow when button held folowing trip, which accoding to the manual is a...
So I have been at my elderly grandparents over Christmas and noticed that the analogue pressure gauge under the boiler was noticeably swinging around a bit in the 1.5-2.0 Bar region whilst was the boiler was on. Is this normal or does it indicate a underlying issue?
I read somewhere online...
In essensce 6 core cable, each PIR only requires 4 wires, so 2 wires for shared power for each PIR, 2 wires for one PIR, remaning 2 wires for next PIR.
So for example, zone 2 is hallway PIR and zone 3 is kitchen PIR, PIR in hallway and kitchen share power, but each have thier own pair for coms.
All cables are of the 6 core shielded type. 3 PIR's and the single door magnet go directley back to panel it's self, other 3 PIR's go through 3 other PIR's and share power going back to the panel. Downstairs keypad is fed of of ZEM32-WE which goes back to pannel, upstais keypad goes diretcley to...
More that all 8 zones on the main panel had been used, and I did not want the faff of running a extra zone to the Keypad which I know can support a extra 2 zones per keypad. Plus the screened wires had already be run and fixed in place by the time I came to power up the system.
I have the zones...
So I've just installed a Pyronix Euro 76 alarm panel (Confiqured and running the system in the DEOL mode with 4.7KΩ for alarm and 2.2KΩ for tamper) in my new house and zone 4 which has two detectors wired in series according to the below (other than the tamper jumper on the second PIR is set to...
