Hi, No he didn't ask, he just asked where exactly do you want the box and when I showed him, he just said "right okay" and then I let him get on with it. I thought he knew best and who am i to question a "professional" I guess it is easier to drill from the inside out, I may have been a bit...

Hi, we wanted virgin media upstairs in one of the bedrooms, basically we have an unused sky dish which has been there for 20 years as well as the cable which runs from the dish to the living room. The engineer has just cut this cable from the dish and decided to run it to the upstairs room in...

Hi, My biggest concern about rcds is if you were to receive an electric shock between live to neutral which is quite easy to achieve when you are removing a socket or a ceiling rose you would very likely be electrocuted as there will be no imbalance and it will just think you are a normal load...

sorry I should have been more specific, the heater was plugged into an extension lead, on removing the plug was a bang and flash, the extension lead was blackened and smelt like burning plastic, Could it have been some kind of flashover due to sudden interruption of a high load or has it likely...

HI all, as above I had just unplugged a heater there was a loud pop and flash and then all the sockets tripped, the pop and flash was similar to a short circuit but not quite as intense, how could this have happened I just simply removed the plug from the socket which resulted in the above, what...

,thanks I may just do that, I will also mark where the cable was channeled to avoid accidental drilling in the future, unlikely but better safe than sorry, I know exactly where the cable is but someone else may not. The cable runs up the wall as it did before and now turns horizontally towards...

Its just as well, I actually managed to pull the "loop in" over to the light switch outside the bathroom horizontally as they were roughly the same height and I managed to get just enough slack., this cable ran down inside the wall, the other cable "loop out" went up to the attic and then back...

Hi, I am in the process of remodeling my bathroom, there is an old shaver socket that has not been in use for years since we got rid of the wall units, the wall in question is about to be papered, it will look daft if the blank plate was papered over and unsightly with the blank plate in...

Hi, the programming book that came with the panel does not mention this command, maybe I have the wrong version, I tried command 29 but the panel doesn't seem to recognize this command and when I try select 0 or 1 it says "not allowed" and goes back to "installer mode". I seem to have sorted the...

Hi there, There is no bell delay, If you open the door and do not pass the pir it will go into full alarm as soon as the entry timer expires (which is what I want), its only when you pass the pir it goes keypad alarm only and the timer extends and the bells delay, the keypad displays "entry...

HI, I will double check the programming,I may have programmed something wrong, the alarm goes off when you pass the pir but only at the keypad,the sirens don't, they only go off about 2 minutes after which is far too late and the intruder(s) would have been long gone with the bike. My main house...

Hi all,I have a scantronic 9651 protecting my shed at the side of the house which houses my motorbike, its just your standard garden shed made of wood, but i have made it all watertight obviously as it does have electric, outside light, alarm panel and socket for charging things. My issue is how...

:LOL:You should look in the mirror my dear assuming it hasn't already cracked, New troll on this forum I see!. How pathetic your life must be:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Hi, just a curious question that has been bugging me, just how tight do electrical connections need to be? whether its anything from lightswitch, socket terminals to choc blocks? Obviously if they are loose you run the risk of arcing and in worst case a house fire, or if they are too tight you...

That was just another option I was considering if I was going to do it that way I would of left the circuit breaker as it is, It seems both ideas are allowed regardless, However it makes more sense to me just to run one feed to the attic, so I have stuck to the original idea. As I have said I...

I was considering that idea but then I thought it would be daft just having one random spur in the cupboard control just a bedroom socket as well as the attic and it can easily get knocked or damaged, I will just down rate the circuit breaker but I will leave the ring wiring as it is, like I say...

Hi, I am going to prep up today, Just one more thing to be sure and know that I'm not wasting my time, Is it absolutely okay to do as I propose which is to take the supply from the existing spur providing I down rate the upstairs ring to 20 amp? From what I understand the 32 amp breaker is...

I actually heard a masterblaster go off not that long ago in a bookie shop, it has a masterblaster inside the shop and very impressive,even tho it was inside it was still much louder than the external bellbox so you can imagine how loud it would of been it was outside. Nah as good as the...

No worries

Sorry john I just realized.
