Service Engineer Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Ever thought of including one on the site? - thinking of phrases like "pulse count", "double knock", "piece of sh*t" Agreed, anyone wanting to do a detailed glossary of alarm terminology please feel free to do so, I will feature it on the website with all due recognition if it's any good..! ........................................................

Brian c Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 would this be something for trade or public? I can't see why public would need to know? If you don't know......ask.

The name BNC sands for Bayonet Neill Concelman. Bayonet describes the coupling mechanism, while Neill and Concelman were the inventors of the N and C connectors. The BNC is essentially a miniature version of the C connector which is a bayonet version of the N connector. BNC connectors are available in both 50 and 75 ohm versions, both versions will mate together. The 50 ohm designs operate up to a frequency of 4GHz. BNC connectors are used in many applications, some of which are flexible networks, instrumentation and computer peripheral interconnections.

Service Engineer Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Well if its on the main site it's public.. and just thinking of a few terms such as Double-knock & pulse count I can't really see the problem with that, and let's be honest most engineers wont need to referance it anyway..? But it may help out the public, and give them a better understanding of some alarm features they aren't aware of, and stop those questions being asked in the forums. ........................................................

Brian c Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Yeah I suppose I can see most of Jef's list could be of benefit to public. If you don't know......ask.
Guest Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 PIR = Passive Infra-Red Receiver. Sorry for being pedantic - but if your doing meanings, then you might as well give the correct meaning.
