These days, not running/having a neutral at a light switch is silly imo in the age of smart light swicthes and IoT stuff in general, hence I would allways loop at the switch and not the rose myself. As for sockets, I prefere radials over ring final circuits due to ease of extending them down...

I assume this round terminal block remains accsesible and is not burried in the wall, otherwise you should have used a maintance free junction box.

Was the cable in the electrical safe zone? If so, why did you cut in a safe zone where there are likley to be electrical cables?

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...

Thanks, I will check when I am next up.

It's not rising as such but rapidly bouncing around (swinging back and forth) within say a half or third of a bar or so.

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...

DEOL, Dual End of line. But the Dual EOL (DEOL) vs Single EOL (SEOL) setting is system wide.

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...
