Thanks for the assistance. I thought that would be the case with the codes but didn’t think to tell her before the engineer called and he didn’t check with her. They are different now. Will see how the Veritas PIRs go, she is getting rag dolls so they grow up to be pretty big cats!

My Daughter bought a house last year that has this panel and PIRs (18 months old). The installers engineer upset her when he did the handover and she doesn't want them back. First question: They came out and changed the Engineer code 10 days ago and she asked him to set it to a number which is...

Jumpax plus vinyl would be a little too thick.

Floor been down 12 months

Daughter wants sheet vinyl in her cloakroom Concrete (beam and block with skim) floor is pretty flat and smooth, room is about 2 m sq. Am considering using ply underneath to lift the surface and probably warm the surface. while I could screw it down would contact adhesive do?

Isn't the new one the std Swiss plug.. Have been and is a stupid design. Triple sockets arranged in a circle on one faceplate so you can't fit two larger rated plugs at the same time - unless you force them or you use a lower rates plug. .... Have two plugs ready to make up extensions with uk...

We already have a 13a socket on the upstairs lighting circuit (tv booster) and it has never caused a trip, probably because (1) she doesn’t go in the loft and(2) she doesn’t have a welder! Btw split board with Hager 6 a Mcbs on the lighting circuits. The socket will not be that easy to reach...

Wow. Been away for a while and come back with a question to find BAS has left and already been replaced. Thanks for the guidance guys, have looked at voltage drop and think I will use 1mm t&e, the transformer has 22 awg flex and 10m of that gives too big a voltage drop (although I could fit a...

Wife wants one of these and I don’t want a power lead dangling down the wall to a wall wart. Connection between inside and outside is ok (long drill) but I want to hide the transformer in the garage about 5-6 metres away. Transformer is 15 v 1.2 a output and wall unit claims to be the same...

There was once a three phase locomotive built. The supply phases were connected in catenary and the two running rails. IIRC It was the Swiss, probably a man called “Brown” of Brown Boveri later ABB following merger with ASEA. Now on the original post think about how the train travels from one...

Worked it out - push to the right.

Am puzzled by this, cleaning limescale from the seals on my son’s toilets and two have been easy as they have the large cover plate that you slide up to remove. The third is different, it is smaller with ridges on the buttons, and looks (from googling photos of roca plates) like an L1. How...

Just replaced a 17 year old R8 Panel with a new one, all connections wired as previous board. Internal and external sounders work and all sensors work on walk test. 7 zones used, 1 is entry (hall), 2-6 are guard and 7 is landing. Link fitted to board for zone 8. On full set first zone we hit...

The transformer is no longer attached to the back panel, something else I will blame the installer for. Not quite as bad as how they wired it to the mains. New panel ordered, should be fairly simple to fit and set up as all the wiring is already installed.

Yes, bell sounded when two of them were removed and stopped when they were replaced.

All fuses are OK on a continuity tester . . . . . Five on the board and one just below it. Was putting the lid back on and all hell let loose, panel would not reset from the keypad at all. Internal and external sounders going off - good job I didn't look at 9 this morning as I would not have...

Thanks - will look tomorrow when i am less likely to disturb the neighbours if the alarm goes off. When I looked there were five fuses on the board - which is it?

No

Veritas Alarm installed by ADT about 2002 (we moved in 2004) - not maintained. Moved a sensor yesterday to strip wallpaper and refixed (zone 7). Last night when I tried to set the alarm it wouldn't set and beeps are as follows: "Part" pressed - Lights 1-6 on full, 7 flashing, 6 pairs of low...

Slight miscalculation and we are a copuple of tiles short. Anyone got any spares? PM me
