sixwheeledbeast Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 All down to if it's wired DP or EOL. More systems are wired EOL, inverting the wires shouldn't make a difference so maybe something is loose/shorting out. Selectable you will have to make sure they are compatible with your panel normally you cut a link within them, or you can get ones with screw terminals which you can fit your resistors in. 1 Quote
Calibra Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 Thankyou the picture here is the way I wire it up first but had a continuous tamper .... then swopped the yellow and black, as per a DIY site...and it worked !!! Quote

Calibra Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 Thanks, at least I know, alls well that ends well.... thanks for your help Quote

Calibra Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 Works perfectly now......hopefully it will,last another 25 -30 years...LOL Quote
magpye Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 The strands along with the core of the yellow wire need to go correctly under the screw also, basic stuff needs a bit of practice. It also looks as though you have nicked the yellow insulation. Quote Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
Calibra Posted May 19, 2018 Author Posted May 19, 2018 Hello yes was fiddly, but works perfectly now it’s tidied up, another skill learnt LOL Quote
