The Cam comes with a power lead that has the transformer combined with a plug (you know the sort, similar to the transformers on phone charges that are incorporated into the plug). so I need a the socket to plug into it. I bought Fsu (I had to google what this meant) in to the picture as an...

My kitchen is single story extension at the back of the house, and I've managed to squeeze in a pitch roof (rather than a flat roof). the pitch roof give me a small shallow loft area. I have multiple down lights in the kitchen and I can access the wires from the loft. The mains wire makes its...

The socket will actually be located in the loft area.. I'll be mounting the camera on the ceiling with the cables feeding through into the loft. Though the scenario has prompted me to perhaps install an isolation switch with say a 3amp fuse. Just incase the spiders decide to make them self's a...

@EFL... I've just had a look and although I thought it was 16A I can see that all my lights are running off 6A MCBs (I know it had a 6 in there somewhere) so.. its as expected but does that complicate my situation or is it still sound ok? @motorbiking... I would have loved to go POE, but to run...

sorry I don't understand what you mean... correct my mistake.. its 16A No, the reason is because its the closest power source yes it does.. the plan (in my head) is to take a spur from the first downlight in the kitchen as this is where the Mains feed comes in, I would install a socket on...

Hello I want to install an internal CCTV camera in the kitchen facing the garden door. I need to mount the camera on to the ceiling (dome camera). The only way I can get power to the camera is by taking a feed from a near by downlight. Am I 'allowed' to do this? Would I be breaking any...

I'll put all these points across to him next time he comes to collect the outstanding balance, I'll be sure to request the minor works cert too. Thank you all once again.

Ban-all-sheds Not paid in full. I havent asked for a cert as I didn't think one was needed for a spur.

Thanks... So far things are Woking as they should then... Even though its not as I expected. This might be a basic question but anyone able to explain why I couldnt hang another socked off of the RCD socket? Is it a regulation thing? The isolation switch does have a 5A fuse.

Thanks all, I feel much better. So for my simple brain...RCD trips when there is an earth to neutral fault. MCB trips when the draw of current on a circuit is higher than what's rated on the MCB. Is that accurate? 333rock333 I wasn't around when the sparky did the install. I can only assume...

Hi I moved into my home 2 years ago, but before I moved in I had the place rewired top to bottom. The electrician installed a dual RCD consumer unit, and everything seemed to work well. A few months back my kettle developed a fault and it kept tripping the RCD, I was a little taken back because...

Thanks squeaky, Just tried the tissue trick, the tissue is dry but I can still see water on the floor... At the same time I checked the pipe work behind and its all dry. Its really frustrating! Looks like I'll have to buy me a new pan and hope it stops :cry:

Hi all, I need some help in locating a toilet leak. I have one of those vanity cupboard back to wall toilet pans (the cistern is hidden inside the cupboard). I can see water slowly oozing out from under the toilet where the pan meets the floor, but it only seems to happen when the flush...

Thanks guys. I was 'pre-staging' the kit so I can take it it into my new place. I'll be taking it to the new place Thursday so I'll give the above tests ago. I have wintext... any idea where I need to check the configuration options?

Hi All , I have a Texecom Premier Odyeese 5E sounder wired to my Premier Elite 48 panel. I can do a successfully do a strobe test and a Sounder test, however when the Armed panel is triggered, I get no response from the sounder. The only setting I changed I on the sounder was to move...

Hahn man. Went upstairs, pulled off the back of the Keypad took a picture and just as I went to upload it... I noticed something. The ice wire for the Pir was plunged into the Rx port. I couldn't believe it.. I checked this several times. I've corrected the error and it seems to be...

The output isn't connected to anything. the PIR manual says that i should only be using 4k7 resistor on on the tamper, but the texecom panel manual says that i should use 4k7 on alarm and 2k2 on tamper. could this be the problem?

This is this is the process I go through.. i punch my code, the RKP welcome me and asks if i want to arm the system. as soon as I hit yes, the PIR connected directly to the RKP starts to flash, and according to Pyronix this is something that the PIR does when its first powered up. the...

Hi, Yes, i'm using Wintex - is there anything in particular I should be looking for?

Hi All, i have a Texecom Premier elite 48 panel, Elite RKP and a load of Pyronix (kx15dq) PIRs. At the moment I have 1 PIR EOL connected to Zone 1. The RKP's Zone 1 is mapped to the panels Zone 9. so in effect i only have 2 PIRs connected, 1 in Zone 1 and the other in Zone 9. I seem...
