alterEGO Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Whats the point in having it set while you are in? With the pir off only the final ext door would be set?? If the door is opened it would only cause the EE timer to start. depends if you part set it to 12 hr. although i agree still kind of pointless unless you had some shocks. unless the O/P means the panic button, may not be aware they are 24hr.
tpj Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 'It is your study'.That suggests to me that you are already using it as such, therefore, am i right in assuming you already have power installed?? Yep theres 4 double power points, an indoor wall light and 2 outdoor lights. Could i use a plug? as i dont want to get an electrician in again!

amateurandy Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 like i said before it should be on a fused spur :!: Should maybe, but he asked if it CAN, which is presumably an option...... What are the risks and legal pitfalls (if any) of using a plug? Also, he's talking about an RKP - presumably "outside" the building - would this need to be a specific weatherproof type (and are they available for the suggested panel) or would a rain cover suffice?

Thanks, yeah i was asking if 'i can' rather than i should! I want a remote keypad indoors next to the door (sounds odd but there are windows about 8 inches either side of the door so no room for a great big box)

Guest anguscanplay Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 the proposed work is minor, and it is not in a kitchen or in an area classified as a special location or a special installation as defined in Approved Document P take it thats a typo bellman - its a special location and coincedentaly an outside flood screwed to the wall will fall under the req. for part P as its fixed irespective of whever it is hard wired or plugged in - yet again it seems people are advising joe public that the rules dont apply when they do .............!!

arfur mo Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 hi sall, this one needs tidying up a bit, this is effectively/summer house used as an office, nothing unusual about that. it already has power to it, so lets assume that is all properly installed and RCD/MCB to the hilt, if not then O/P get it sorted. i'm curious why an alarm would be armed with you inside the 'office'? are you worried the wife might walk in when your secretary is taking down more than a few notes perhaps? if you have high value items like a safe they can be protected, it could also be part of the main house system and so allow you to set/unset from there. you seem to be putting budget before risk, although you might not have deep pockets it's a really bad move so get some proper on-site advice from a local company who will point out your best options, but do i think If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
