Easy Cert

If you speak to your inspectorate they will have a template you can work from

Hi All, Where do you get your Fire cert templates from for design, installation, commissioning etc? thanks

QFA id go for a camera heater in the WP Box just make sure its mounted properly not just sitting in the bottom of the box where it will melt through

Outdoor ones are at least triple the cost? I have put internal equipment (AP) outside in an IP box at customers request, it lasted couple of years before it lost it's marbles. I'd suggest that's a lot of equipment to go down if you have a failure and consider a redesign or using the proper stuff.

The storage & operating temperatures of the equipment will be stated on the data sheet.

I have used different types , London tho , never had an issue except a cheaper version died after 10 years , used different types of IP box

If you have power you could fit a little temp controlled heater. Only ever fitted them inside

Hi All Happy new year would like to install 1xuniview poe switch outside in a waterproof box just so i dont need to have 12 +cables coming inside house as restricted access are there ways round to stop poe switch not working correctly due to uk weather heat or cold temps,i know box is waterproof would like any sugestions if anyone has succesfully done this or is it you have to use a proper external poe switch any info would be appreciative

thank you for the replies. I will probably not rewire and go wireless.

It looks like it's been wired in Cat5 should be "Intruder alarm cable BS4737-3.30:2015" preferably Type 2 or better, which is stranded. Solid cables are not designed for alarm systems as they can break causing intermittent faults.

Scantronics will give you both wired and wireless solution , enforcer I personally think more complicated If you use FSL on the zone selection you will know which wires are faulty to an extent , and you can always put wireless in those locations

Ah I see. I can't rewire it easily. It's an apartment so the the bell box is wired all the way to the outside. What cable am I supposed to use to wire this ?

Wonder if it's two man call out plus Turkish kebab , McDonald's for you tho

Wow, congratulations you two.

Yeah happy Christmas all

It's not wired in the correct cable, nothing is worth saving in this case as we say. If your not going to rewire it, you'll have to go full wireless which will be new everything.

Thanks you. If I go with scantronics or enforcer, do the pir or bell box need changing? Honeywell said the bell box will be fine.... No guarantee on pir units

No, but I'm due in SW6 next Monday ish...

Batteries not included. Merry Christmas to all that celebrate it and those that dont, happy holidays and would you mind covering a callout in central london for me tomorrow?

No flex20 app future will give you headache Better scantronics ion40 for DIY has free app for now

Buy a dog ? I'd go Enforcer as you've noting worth saving

Yes, all installers However the people ringing up today deserve a jolly good slap

I think so. Looking at galaxy flex 20. Does anyone have any recommendations?
