Update your external sounder to an LED backlit type. Texecom or Pyronix

£800. ADI quoted £200 for Win-Pak GX which i assume will also do the task, I've never used though. It would be cheaper get a Paxton Access system. Well at least i know its an option. I just thought it would be cheaper to use the one system for alarm and access

Ok, so I'm on the right path. Someone else will be responsible for interacting with the database part. In terms of the connection from the panel to pc, is it possible to use the " Galaxy RS232 cable" (or make one up) or connect to the actual terminals on the panel?

Hi I was wondering if anyone has much experience with this part of the app. I'm looking into a solution when i can monitor live access control events using a Max4 reader and then take the data from the logs to run reports etc?

Before they've cancel their contract with ADT?

You will have to seperatly test each pair that wire into 19 & 20 untill you find the pair that cause the lockout. And then the check the device which they are wired to

I would go for something like a CQR or Elmdende 12v driven sounder or speaker and inline PSU (connected to a spur if possible). http://www.cqr.co.uk/m-sounders/m-speakers/ http://www.elmdene.co.uk/Inter-Internal-Sounder-Range.html Cheers

Oh ok. I thought you were only allowed to tap off once at any point on a ring. Its all good and safe then

I've just visited a friends house, who has just had their kitchen renovated. I noticed at one of the sockets that someone has spured off the ring, that already a had a spur on it. So there are 4 cables at the socket, 2 from the ring and 2 that go off to separate sockets. I don't believe this is...

Thanks all, for the clarification.

You guys have left me a bit confused going back a forth between bonding and earthing and the actual definitions of each, I studied this stuff at college but I don't practice electrics. But just to be clear, does anything need to be done with his pipe work from an electrical point of view? Thanks

A friend of mine is installing a down stairs toilet and he's asked about earthing the pipe work. I was just wondering when and where bonding is required. Is it dependant upon the type of consumer unit you have i.e. no RCDs?

Have you managed to get this working, why are there 3 cables at the switch, i would expect only 2 cable if you've looped the live via the ceiling fitting?

You could spur off the socket using 2.5mm to the supply side of a switched FCU. Then wire from the load side of FCU to your light fitting. Fit a 3amp fuse. The switch on the FCU can be used to control the light. I'm not sure if its ok the spur of the socket if the sockets already a spur though?

Maybe he or she is planning to take the feed off the main incoming tails at the main consumer unit, to feed a new consumer unit in the workshop.

Theres No point in going wireless, if you already have cables in place just change the panel and keypad. Retain the rest of the hardware

Thank for the clarification

Thanks

Hi As per the title, is it fine to use a switched fused spur as the main point of controlling a light? Thanks

Im not aware of any professional accredited ARC that would monitor you intruder and CCTV system unless you its done via a and alarm company. Is this a commercial or residential premises. With the latest technology on the on the market you can make use of IP & GPRS and monitor it yourself via...
