Hello all

Hi. I'm having an issue with 'ionisation smoke alarm 1151'. It has started beeping today in the corridor. I have replaced battery 9V, but it's still beeping and the one in the kitchen as well once I put 1151 placed back. Is electric engineer is required to fix the issue?
Hello,
Just wondering if there is such thing as a small size bell box for alarm? Not much info comes up on Google and they all seem pretty much the same size. I suppose size isn't critical on a house and they look like a deterrent.
Asking as I want to install one on a boat and not a huge...

Hi all

For a fire alarm loop addressable system. Fp200 1.5mm cpc 1.5mm
To obtain R1+R2 would you treat the "loop" as a radial in effect and link brown and earth in connector then tester on other leg.
Or would you treat it as a ring and figure of eight and can be tested...
Hello, I've been asked to provide an annual test certificate on some fire alarms and emergency lighting in a guest house. I see that there are courses on fire alarms are these really necessary? The certificates are very basic so is the guidance with the bsi standard. What do others do with testing?
I thought I would take a few minutes to give my recent experience in wiring a large garage for power and an alarm circuit. This relates to clipped direct for all cables, using Linian clips.
A laser round the garage, drilling the 6mm holes. clipping the 2.5mm to the brickwork all went very well...

Hello all..
I have been considering CCTV for a while. We have had a few break ins recently, so it's time to actually do it!
I'd like to try and do it myself, so I'm looking for a pretty simple CCTV system and perhaps an alarm.
Any suggestions chaps? 🙂
Hi All,
I have been tasked (as island resident hotel handy-man - for my sins) to replace a Emergi-lite MCP (no other details availabe) with aKAC 'MCP1' but the wiring is less than obvious, even with the MCP1's wiring leaflet. I have attached pics of each unit's innards as well as the relevant...

Hi guys been asked to put a radial in for spurs for a fire alarm panel supply is it okay to use red FP200 to carry 230v? If so or not could you tell me where I find this information in the regs ? Thanks
Hi,

We are looking at getting a professionally installed alarm to keep insurer's happier, and that will need a power feed which (miraculously) we had always planned and the RCBO is in our TPN board ready for it. However, I would rather not have the installers working in there for various reasons...
