There is absolutely no requirement for any additional fused spur being added to a ring circuit or lighting circuit to be doneby a Part P bod. But it should be a competent person and should be certificated for the tests that were done. Obvious exceptions would be; Domestics in a Bathroom or when any part of the cable runs outdoors with a junction box also being outside Connecting direct to the CU and prob lots of others....

I tried that but then all my customers ended up at ADT...

Op, if you're still reading this, he's bang on the money. Posters on here sometimes say the trade people on here are out to rip people off, overcharge, spec kit that's 'over the top' etc... The truth is, Yale is tat, plain and simple. You'd get the same level of protection going onto ebay and buying two dummy sounders from someone like Elmdene or Pyronix, or even a broken Yale just for the bellboxes. There is no decent system at £160, and the ones there are, are no better than a dummy. Basically, I appreciate you might not have £500-700 - so please don't waste £160!

If it's that likely to be the culprit, can you not, by whatever means, get hold of a later PCB with the fixed terminals? Sounds better than the effort of soldering!

First review on Screwfix - It's fine if you're happy that with this system, all the sensors are usually on 'entry/exit' so all someone needs to do is come in and rip the control panel off the wall, the outside siren will never go off and you'll never get the phone call saying you've been burgled. If you're definitely up for DIY, I would ask yourself if it really has to be wireless or can you get some small alarm cables in?

Op, can I ask how much you were due to spend on the Yale kit? It's not a trick, I'm just interested as a starting point.

I know but point is 5 minutes ago the gov were in the process of scrapping Sia AFAIK and for now its all ok, but again AFAIK the desire to pull it apart is still on the books just on hiatus... It will be private whoever it is.

Walk fast and split open a bag of doughnuts, scattering them as he fled...

Lol, yes a fluro yellow armband to be worn AT ALL TIMES!

Shoot me down but I've never come across a vaguely modern panel with a problem that was down to the mains.

As above, if the engineer is testing the battery just using a voltmeter, you might as well not bother. Go into any scrapyard, pick any battery that's been sat outside for 5 years and it'll probably still read 12V too. Start using it and it'll be a different story! Measuring the voltage over a low resistance or using a proprietary device like an ACT tester is the only way to go.

Not sure what youre laughing at Polaroids under the bed boy...

Get you! Had you down as a Bourbon man tbh.

Individual requirement, or 'supervised by a'...

No need, haven't you got some old Electric Blue's on betamax you could watch?

No wonder he didn't come back to answer!

Lol

Send us a pic Norma

You mean an external PIR or for the cabin?

Thought you had red nail varnish on today?

Oh? How? Nice Shame you can't simply also change the skin colour to suit your co. i.e red for us not green

Sadly, no.

It depends on the model - Rokonet has been Risco for some time now and a bit lazy if they haven't updated their info by now. I have no experience of the cheaper models but if it's the I-Wise quad PIR then I'd say go for it. The Texecom Premier is a good system. As Norm, you can save yourself £200 now which I guarantee you'll have to pay back over the next 2 years in extra servicing costs, which can't be avoided if they relate to detector batteries.
