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...

Having had a further look today, if I stitch in another brick to each of the piers making them slightly wider either side of the drive, it will change the bollard centers and allow them to site beside the cables. This will mean no moving / capping /touching required. I get if a vehicle hits...

I will not be touching anything. I now plan to scan both to see which is live then give UKPN a call. Hopefully just need 1 capped off and nothing moved.

If i can get my hands on a CAT scanner, that should confirm which is live and which is dead as a start?

In hind sight I should have dug the holes before purchasing the bollards but i did not expect to be this unlucky, but they are here now and were not cheap so I am in an awkward position. The automatic bollards seem to require a silly depth. 900mm for a 500mm bollard. If the 2nd is a dead...

This is going from bad to worse. Had another look this morning and the bollard will go in beside the cable with no movement required (comments regarding the bollard being struck are noted). I then cracked on with digging the hole for the 2nd bollard. Almost done and I hit something in the...
