Thanks again for your reply. We have to use the modular type as a spec of the job, because of the finish the client is after. As I said in the previous block we only had one quad plate in a flat. This was then connected to the aeriel equipment in a riser setup. The only difference now is...

Thanks for the replies. Sam Gangee thanks for your reply. Your right, the fact I dont understand sky installations means I have should give up the job, because obviously the complex installation and the intellect needed to conquer an almighty coax plate is beyond me, I fear, I will never...

If you drill a 64mm hole in a ceiling, you have affected the fire integrity of the ceiling. The construction method and materials used to build the ceiling determine the fire rating, ie 30 minutes or 1.5 hours. Once you have drilled the hole, you have a responsibility to reinstate the integrity...

Hi I am currently wiring a block of 80 flats. Part of my job is to install a TV system to the lounge of the flat with a standard TV ariel in the bedroom. I am to use the module type faceplates. From what I have been told I am to run a dual coax to the lounge for the sky+, then a single coax...

thankyou

Ok thanks. Does installing slave units from a master socket require BT too?

What is the alternative option without involving BT?

im talking about physical access. Installing a cable to the socket would cause damage and require an amount of repair work. Can I not break the cable with a socket instead? Even if this became the master and the others were therefore slave units?

I need to add a couple of BT sockets to a basement in a house I am working at. I dont have access to the existing BT points in the house, but I do have access to the cable that supplys them. Can I cut the cable and make a joint to feed the two new sockets? Is there a limit to the number of BT...

Hi, I want to tile over my bath panel, problem is it is a pvc, p-shaped panel. Im assuming that I cannot tile directly onto the PVC, so what would you suggest.I know I will have to use the flexible mosaic tiles, just dont know whether to fit something to the panel, or remove it and build a...

Hi, I have tried to reset an accenta panel because the old user has changed user and engineer codes. I have tried the reset sequence, shorting out the set and Tamp terminals and powering up, but it isnt working. And whats happening is the tamper light is staying on, even when the lid is...

Hi. I am not familiar with these programmers/timeclocks, could someone please explain how they are wired, cheers.

Take into account that it would be easier to maintain the lights if they all have their own smaller tranny. It can be stuffed into the celing next to the light, and if it blows you can access and replace it easy. Also larger transformers can be quite loud. Also, if you want to add a...

So was ripping out some old factory installation the other day. I noticed how difficult it was to tell between Red and black cables, and even the red, yellow and blue cables on three phase machines. Then it got me thinking, if I struggle on this, how hard will it be to differ between brown...
