ive been out of alarm engineering since before Part P was enforced and heres something i dont know.... if any part...what part of the building regs do alarm engineers come under now? Has part P affected them? i know they have to work to BS 4737 ? (god i should remember that) and they must...

maybe theres a gap in the market for an unofficial alarm maintenance techie ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: moderators - i do NOT support nor condone such actions.

Theyre not. simply because if a rival alarm company knows ur engineer code they can approach your customers and agree to service your system at a lower cost than ur provider! about 18 months a so it was well documented in my part of the world that an alarm engineer who was sacked for telling...

You know ur onions....orrrrrrr u know a too much about me :O lol only joking. yes its a hager catalogue. i thought maybe it was something along those lines but i wasnt too sure and as i was in a rush i thought id wait untill i got near my pc and ask on here! thanks for the info.

1 - easy. the housing will pop open and you'll have 2 terminals. one will have the sigal in it...the other will have the braid. unscrew them and bobs ur uncle. 2 - reconnecting is easy as well. if itsa new antenna like i said above...two terminals....signal to one and braid to other. unless u...

Alarm panels have engineer functions. usually to reset them you need the engineers code from ADT - which ur unlikely to obtain as knowing this gives u access to totally deactivate a particular alarm system that runs off a particular panel. once u know the engineers code you should swat up on...

Been looking through some electrical books that i have picked up over time and when looking at MCBs theres a type c (understand) its 32A (understand) double pole (understand) and then it says ' with IU2/D " whats IU2/D all about? thanks

no, if ur upto speed on how to work with the stuff then there should be no reon why you wouldnt be able to work safely. im not sure really spark123, with being fairly new to the trade and teachers at college being mostly domestic installers - they sort of fight for their corner and try and...

sorry, think that was my yorkshire speak comming into play....do i take it a sparky makes his money on installation costs? £/hour? or on materials mark up or a bit of both? btw...electrical testers...im trying to find a 'cheap' one that complies with part p and that does all the part p...

Interesting...regarding the domestic work. Id like to do new builds i think...first fixing and second fixing isnt as hard when theres nothing in the way... i get what u mean by moving furnature etc...i used to install alarms and we did a lot of moving stuff about, which come to think of it...

youve opened a can of worms for me there RF....why do u find domestic such hassle? any other major certificates needed to work with 3 phase apart from 2330, 2391 and 16th edition (i forget its 4 digit number) any dangerous work area permits or owt along those lines?

1.5mm cable, dont bother about the protective device "it'll be reit" just splice into the switch feed on the lights. bit of electrical tape..the more colours the better - that green/yellow striped stuff looks nice! plastic sockets for outside...dont bother with all the IP b****cks - just...

presumably the 2391 would be recognised by various organisations but if you do the 2391 through the NICEIC and your self employed or you work for a company which is registered under the NICEIC group then surely they'll recognise a course that they have put on? i could be wrong...but thats my...

Ahh thats cool. Im not into 3 phase. ive learnt about it. but i think id rather be involved in the domestic side...the fewer voltz the better ;) have u done any work like this before?
