It's a good time to buy the domain then Breezer... just sneal in there and obtain a cracking domain... let's face it we've all been on there.

JB= Junction box. (thought you would of known that) like Cu= Consumer unit. If i'm coming from the lighting circuit. Do i come from the junction box from the live, earth and neutral. I take it the switch live does not need to be used. So i follow the same wiring patter as the live, earth and...

Hi all, I am aware that a shaver socket with a transformer must conform to British Standard BS3535 to be suitable for bathroom use. I have a question suppose i don't want to coem off the ring via a FCU and instead want to come from the lighting circuit. So Live Earth and Neutral go from...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Ha ha ha that's a winner B-A-S I was getting quite confused and thought where is this leading to!!!!

Just come back from a well known kitchen retailer. Got a question to ask. On show was a range cooker in an inglenook feature with a 500 wide base cupbaord either side. No probs.... but what i question is where they had positioned the sockets. I know that they were just face sockets and not...

Not a problem ladies... sorted it out. Did as many stated..... i.e. experimented around in a safe capacity that is. tested a battery out of a house alarm that i had spare and got the voltage measure... Thanks all.

Hi, Have a look at the wiring in the ceiling rose and tell me what the setup is. You should have a Neutral, a live, a earth and then a switch live. The switch live will be a black wire which is of the switch cable, this should go from the from the ceiling rose to the switch. Firstly tell...

Thats the problem breezer it doesn't tell you what does what. It's only 6 little tiny pages in length. For resistance it staes. 1. Connect the black test lead to the com and the red lead to the V jack... No problems 2. Set the rotary switch at desired range position. (doesn't say what...

Had a go but am getting no reading. I've got it on the V- setting 20. I've got a black wire into Com and a red wire into V. Where do i put the prongs.... Really the instructions are that bad. I've never even done this in my life and i haven't got a clue. Even the websites are not that clear on...

OK identify your switch cable. Black, red and Earth.... This cable should be in a switch and in this switch should also be another cable (linking cable) which links this switch with your other switch. Now the wires are so. Switch cable - Black (also known as switched live) to L2, Red to L1...

Have you tried a new switch... This would eliminate that issue

No it's not your PC... CORRECTION....There is 1 dial with so many different numbers, symbols etc V- V~ A~ A- hFE and others....

I will go to maplins and get some resistors. This is the multimeter Jumbo display meter with yellow protective holder designed for multi-functional testing for up to 700V AC, 1,000 DC 20 amps AC/DC and 20M ohms. Test diodes and transistors and checks for circuit continuity. If the...

Portable lamp

Thanks for that. Would anybosy like to set me a little test, to see if i have got the grasp of things. Nothing to fancy though.... There are so many flippin dials on this thing, i probably will never use half of them

Thanks but it doesn't really explain things well enough for beginners.

Hi, If you view here http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7553 this is this sites for reference section. This should show you how to do things, better than i can explain them.

The black wire which is the switch cable should be taped with red identifying it as the switched live. Remeber to earth to the back box also. Does this look like your set-up

As you can probably see from a recent post that i've been looking at, i am trying to understand how to use a multimeter. I have just been out and purchased one. Digital LCD display: - DC Volt Measure upto 1000V, AC Volt Measure, DC Current, AC Current, Resistance, Diode, Transistor and...
