Hello,
I have an alarm installed in our new (not new build) house. I suspect the way the device is wired into the consumer unit is ill-thought out. It is connected to a 6A terminal which is probably satisfactory, but whoever has installed it has put it on the downstairs lighting circuit - whenever a bulb fails & trips the circuit breaker, the wretched alarm goes off.
Any advice as to where it would it should to into the consumer unit? Is it good practice to give it its own connection? - this would mean getting a new unit
I emailed Optima, but they failed to reply.
Thanks
Jonathan
