Hey guys!
Been a spark for years and never really bothered with Fora, but thought i would give it a try!
Anyway, i am starting to do a lot of work in a commercial business and they have a three phase DB, that is a little on the old side.
With that, a lot of the labelling is either non...
Hi
I have a wall where i know that there are some wires inside, as the electric installation of the thermostat is placed there.
I need to drill a hole in that area and obviously i want to avoid hitting those cables. I have bought a stud finder to see where can i drill the hole, but it...
My old stud finder has given up the ghost, it was a cheap and cheerful no brand make but did the job I needed it for - finding studs & joists. Has anyone got recommendations for a replacement?
Had a play with an expensive Bosch one the kitchen fitter had and found it horrible to use.
As per the title I am looking for recommendations for a new fuse finder / cable tracer. Not worried about the price more the accuracy of the instrument.
Hi,
I'm working up an estimate for a board change for a flat in a small block.
Checking for the main incomers in the Dry riser cupboards and of
course the labels are 'inconclusive' to say the least!
I confess in the past I've just pulled fuses (one was 5 fuses until the right one) but whacking...
hi, what do you guys recommend to buy for a signal tester. I've seen the pocket sized ones but not sure they are any good??
I'm not a full time installer but when doing re-wires I get asked to install the aerials, I've been lucky until recent at getting good signal strengths. Hence I'm looking...
The transmitter in the Professional Fuse Finder Kit (FD600) has an IEC socket with a standard UK 3 pin mains adaptor (EX332), which extends the use to include both 13A sockets, and with the TL83 lead, to light fittings or other points in a circuit where there is no power socket.
Allows you to...
I am wiring a lighting system using a FINDER 15.81 DIMMER and multiple 9-15W LCD lights and switches at multiple points on a 220v electrical system.
Here is the wiring diagram that comes with the FINDER 15.81 DIMMER
This is how I have wired 2 switches and 2 lights to the FINDER 15.81 DIMMER...
Want one that works on live circuits, and not just sockets, without having to take out a 2nd mortgage. LOL. anyone got a decent one they could recommend? cheers, Tel.
Just a bit off topic, I was wondering if anyone has ventured into Lidl's to take look at the £9.99 stud finder, I got one and it does do what it says on the box, not bad for under a tenner.
Just wondering whether there is a plug in tool to test the signal of t.v points? Something similar to sky signal finder but to plug into a standard point? Recently been installing a lot of points and the thought of lugging a customers t.v all around a house/block of flats seem ridiculous. Thanks.
Hi,
have this relay which needs replacing but cannot seem to find the right one any where in the uk
i think i may have found one at maplins but it has 8 pins on the bottom infact all the ones i do come across have 8 pins as you can see mine only has 6. does anyone know of an alternative...
Hi All,
Does anyone know a decent and reliable cable locator and a circuit identifying device? I've got a BIG job coming up id'ing all of the circuits in each of our 11 DB's on site and would like to know if there is a modern way of doing it rather than the prehistoric way of switching MCB's...
I have just purchased a Satlink WS 6908 satellite finder but am having problems.... I select Astra 2 on the satfinder and get the dish into a position where I get a strong signal on both quailty and strength but cannot get the Freesat box to pick up a signal even though I can get one via another...
Gents for years I have persisted in carrying out periodic inspections without the aid of a fuse finder or circuit tracer but I am starting to think it would be to my advantage if I just went ahead and bought one. I have used the Socket and See version and also the Kewtech range. Just wondering...
