    Cut through an alarm cable

    Don't know where it goes to (magnetic contact we think) but the Customer is happy to have that cable disabled. There are four wires - do I simply wrap all four together so the rest of the alarm can be switched on ?

    Why the colour scheme for BS951 earth clamps?

    Can anyone explain to me why we have different colour earth clamps? I know that red is for dry environments, blue for damp/corrosive and green same as blue but for larger diameter earth wires. Why can't we use a single colour for all environments, the clamps appear to me to be made the same?
