I was asked yesterday to take a look at a neighbours alarm, they have recently moved in and he was trying to input the code to try out the system but said the keypad started beeping. He couldn't get it to stop so took the front off and cut all the wires in the keypad. This stopped it beeping but...

What size cable runs from the breaker and how is it installed?

If you only have switched live and neutral at the ceiling rose you may have all the connections you require at the light switch, have you tried removing a switch to see what cables you have there?

Not as messy as having to dig your drive up again because you've installed the incorrect cable!

Lay some ducting with a draw rope in it, then whoever fits the charger can just pull the correct cable in.

If that 3C&E is supplying an extractor fan then the lighting switched line is missing.

I find this covers stains like that in one coat, dries in 30 mins then couple coats of emulsion. http://www.screwfix.com/p/zinsser-cover-stain-primer-white-1ltr/17114

Firstly, what size cable feeds the shower and what route does it take from the consumer unit to the shower?

Sounds like you have mixed your switched live and loop live conductors when you swapped the rose. You will need to power off, disconnect your wires, using a multimeter test to identify your switched live then work from there.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I am not over bothered about ommitting zones, as long as I can set up a full set and part set mode for him that will be all he ever needs. Like you said they are both very similar but I have decided to order the Castle euro mini secure kit from Alert. No...

Looking for recommendations for a wired alarm for my dads new house. I was going to fit wireless but have been today and lifted some floorboards and it looks like I can get where I want with cables. Only looking for a fairly basic system, 3 PIRs, remote keypad, external sounder. I quite like the...

If the bathroom has no window the fan must come on with the bathroom light and have a timer over run when the light is turned off.

I would be more worried about the scorching on the roof truss at the moment than the earth wire

Very straight forward normal rose wiring. Look at the Wiki and it explains all you need.

Shouldn't be a problem then.

Will you be using both at the same time?

Thanks sparkymarka, Am I correct in my assumptions above as to how it would be wired? all the alarms I have worked on previously have had all seperate zones for each detection device. If it was mine I would bin it and buy something newer, however the owner who cut all the wires would like it...

That's one of the problems, I can't find a copy of the installation manual. I have traced most cables (some have been cut in other places so will ignore those for now). There only appears to be 2 zones, Cct1 and Cct2 plus an exit entry zone. So I am guessing that multiple PIR's are connected to...

Anybody have any information/wiring details for a Castle ZX901. I have been asked to reconnect a panel where the someone has cut all the sensor/bell cables just as they enter the panel and I am not fully sure how the panel is supposed to be configured.

Is there a 10mm gap under the bathroom door?
