think i have worked it out in my head, may go back to the job tomorrow, the two zones off the keypad have four terminals and i have wired it "normally closed" with the tamper in one pair and the zone in the other, this i thinks needs to be set up as "double pole" i think at the moment both the...

well i set the two zones of the keypad to numbers 11 & 12 all seems fine but they have not been "seen" as when i have the zones open, the panel sets ok and when they are closed after panel sets it doesnt go into alarm when i open the zone, is there a step by step guide for mapping the zones? i...

hi guys anyone wired this panel up, i am having trouble mapping zones on a keypad

every plasterer i know say please dont use capping, cement does stick dries differently shrinks etc. most lay the cement up over the cables first so there is very little chance of damage, personnally i have never had a cable damaged by a plasterer (no capping used) or even if it there was a...

are you sure there are only 2 earths? has one been cut off very short or snapped very close to the sleeving but really it will be three reds in the centre terminal of the rose 2 blacks in the neutral terminal with the blue of the flex drop 1 black in the live terminal with the brown of the...

well ban the switches listed are 2A

old electrician i knew wouldnt buy twin red for switch drops as it was more expensive, he would use grey 1mm for the mains in / out etc and white 1mm cable for the switch drops, so he could easlily find the switch wire at the light position

double check that the spur is wired correctly, if it is it may just be a faulty spur not switching the neutral, try swapping it maybe?

well it will have been melted by one of the lamps or a loose connection so it will not be too far from the light, but you will have to take down each light in turn i`m afraid

were the lights on when it blew? this might point to a melted cable

what are you trying to do sorry?

good luck, remember the switch may need changing if its "blown" and doesnt feel right when you operate it. have any of the spots been going on and off by themselves pointing to a dodgy transformer?

:lol:

no i doubt it will be that one, if you cant see something obvious it will be a transformers which will be a bit of trial and error unless you have a multi meter to check each one, look for melted cables first :(

also do you mean mcb?

you will need to drop each light and hopefully see melted blocks / cable and you will need to replace the switch after you find it, it probably wont be the light you saw coming on

prbably one of the transformers has gone short circuit or melted the blocks behind and causing a short circuit and the short has in turn blown the light switch.

i am assuming the yellow in the fan is in the S/L switched live terminal, usually is on most jobs

ok it doesnt matter if you mix them with trial and error so it may take a couple of attempts power off yellow def goes in L1 with one of the thicker red (anyone for now) thin red and other 2 reds in COM leave blacks and blue in connector block if it doesnt work swap thicker reds (power...

are you sure there are 4 red wires
