Will check tonight, i think there is. But I did buy the drums at different times, so would have to be so unlucky to get so many bad batch. I was wondering, they were stored in a garage for over a year, wonder if that caused an issue?

Fired an email to TLC see what they say :)

Lets see what they say tomorrow then. if anything.

I will give them a shout in the morning and see. More pressing, what to do now. Tech its OK and would pass if you go by the guidance....

I purchased over a year ago, so not sure what they would say. but maybe drop them a line.

Hi, yes >999 when i test with nothing. I tested a left over reel and that still fails. I have 11 radials and for them to hit everyone would be unlikely.

Not what I want to hear, nightmare. Strange how all reels have produced same result, im stuck with what to do now.

I sure have, >999 when tested

The problem is i tested a reel that was left over and that is still pulling in a low reading.

12.7 when testing at 500v

I will try at 500 just now, The cable is...

I sure did just on the chance. More hoping etc. What a nightmare, almost impossible to pull all that cable out now. Think I need a drink

As you would expect I get >999 Not looking good and the whole house is wired up with this

Well just grabbed a reel and done a test on it. Guess what 58.2M. If I hold the test button down the longer I do the higher it goes.

Yep I still have have a whole reel and half left over, so I will be running a test on that tonight. I used about 5 reels of the 2.5 in the house, all stored the same way in the garage and then installed 6 months ago, but never got round to testing. Just left at 1st fix for 6 months over...

Many Thanks John, indeed, never thought of batteries myself so a very easy first step. Will pop a new test on tonight. Really got me scratching my head, as never had an issue before. I mean I know its OK on paper according to regs, but being all new I would expect better readings for sure.

Many Thanks, will swap out batteries and try again. I have a 4mm radial to the utility room of a different make cable, and that tests at >999 Everything is new, and the whole batch of 2.5mm was purchased at the same time from a good supplier, so was hoping for it not to be a bad batch as it...

Very strange one here, renovation project, full strip out and start again basically. I pulled in 2.5mm radials for most circuits. R1+R2 all test out great. But when I do IR I would expect >299 but I am getting between 50 - 80 on most. Any ideas? 1st fix was slow so cable where in for 6...

Many Thanks, Guess we will have to see how it goes, at least its an option, and maybe someone will help. The Mrs likes the house warm, and we are in Scotland, so guess it will be on a fair amount. It will have stats in each room, as i have divided it into 12 zones. So i guess, when the floor...

It is all insulated internally and I have poured a self leveling screed around the UFH pipes, it has about 11 cubic meters of screed if that helps size the mass. I was also advised a buffer tank can help with the short cycling.
