If going with a dedicated supply straight from the house consumer unit would this require 4mm or 6mm SWA to be run. I have service ducts laid already for a granny annex in a nearby location so will probably go down this route as it should be a simple albeit expensive cable pull which I can do...

Assuming that is the case can i just pull off the circuit and run a 2.5 T&E down to the shed and into a small box.

Definitely a 32A breaker I may be wrong on the radial i will check as it may be a ring. I assume that would then be the correct protection for the cable.

Sorry i should have said that. Very little. The sockets will be to plug in the odd tool or charger etc. Nothing pulling big loads planned for it

I am about to build a "shed" at the end of the garden. From the shed i plan to power the following; 2 internal lights 3 double sockets 1 roller shutter 1 ring floodlight camera a few external lights I currently have an external power radial feeding 2 double sockets in the back garden ran in...

Hello again. It has been a while since i was on here but am in need of some expert advise once again. I am looking to build a shed/outbuilding in my back garden. It will be roughly 2m x 4m with a monopitch EPDM roof, roller shutter for a door and cedar clad. You get the idea. It will be...

I think that is what i had in my head for Option 2. Are you suggesting a small pad with a brick/block pier built off it. 2 of these front and 2 back with a lintel spanning between them to build the base off?

Starting to get ready for spring jobs ready for the summer and the main job is to build a shed for the back garden. I have a nice position between the boundary fence and a large tree that would be perfect but it's a large tree with raised root area which would prevent a standard ground base...

I was rudely woken this morning with a loud and violent bang that kept happening every few minutes. I am used to the central heating pipes making a noise when the heating kicks in but this was a quick sharp bang. It sounded like a circuit breaker going off. I traced the noise to the ensuit...

After all that, it was a simple issue with the receiver programming. A reset and fresh programing of the transmitter and we have operational bollards. I can now concrete them in knowing I wont be breaking them out again. Thanks for the help.

Jump from 3 "Common" to 4 "Open" and 5 "Close" = nothing Common to radio also nothing. Is there a way of checking the receiver module is giving the command to the control board? Red LED flashes when I push the button but nothing on the board. I would expect LED 6 "Radio" to flash. Under the...

Do you mean Jumper from connection point 13 to point 4 (if motor wired correctly) or 5 if wired in reverse?

4 wires from the limit switch. Connected to points 11, 12, 55 and 56 as per the vigilo diagram. It doesn't show anything i to point 13 "common" should this be bridged in any way?

Led 9 is lit which confirms bollard is lowered (which it is). They are the standard version.

Hi, Would anyone be able to advise what I am doing wrong with the controls wiring for an automated gate/bollard set up. I have the following that I am trying to set up; Fadini Vigilo bollard Elpro S20 control panel VIX 53 Transmitter & Receiver I believe all has been connected as per the...
