I've managed to confuse myself a bit, I have to connect up the above boiler with 2 zone valves. Now the 'external controls' link is low voltage in the boiler and this is connected to the built in timeswitch for heating, I have 2x 2 port valves [upstairs/downstairs heating zones] and Honeywell...
Hi all , with regards to the above , is it only inside buildings that would be rated as zone 1 ? Ie a vat situated outside in fresh air that holds pure alcohol which fumes are vented to atmosphere , would this come under a zone 1 rating or not ?
Hi guys,
I have a really odd one for you all.
About four years ago we installed a heating systems for a swimming pool using various items but the main part of the heating was a Honeywell zone valve controlling the boiler.
The valve was controlled in the usual way via a programmer and stat...
Hi all,
I need to change my extractor fan which is in Zone 1, I have found a extractor fan as below for Zone 1 that does not need a separate transformer, as long as a RCD is present. Will the current RCD's be sufficient? I know the RCD is working, as I connected the wires wrongly when testing...
Hi all,
quick questions re the above. Firstly when checking the battery charging voltage, the reading switches between 2V & 28V approx every second - I'm guessing this ain't right, but any thoughts?
Second, what would cause one of the Zone lights (top row) to be permanently lit?
Thirdly, if the...
Hello,
I am adding sockets to a garage conversion. The ceiling is already plastered, and above the ceiling is a bedroom. Between the ceiling and the bedroom, the void is stuffed full of insulation. Looking to avoid cutting large holes in the ceiling or above floor to remove the insulation and...
Hi All, customer wants some new poolside lighting, and the edge of the pool is 1.8m from the side fence so it's within Zone 1. Didn't seem to bother the last Spark, but if I read it correctly 702.55.4 says Class II 230V lights if they are 2m up and RCD'd (not likely to be wanted due to light...
I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the experts here.
Our electrician has fitted an IP20 rated downlight above the shower in our new bathroom. He says this is fine as the GU10 LED bulb is a sealed unit and therefore "won't explode."
I'm not convinced that it's entirely safe as I would expect...
So I have a client who requested a towel rail fitted at the end of the bath on wall, opposite end from shower (fixed) and taps and so is right bang in zone 1.
Never fitted any before unless in zone 2 at least, OSG seems to okay it but through flex outlet, but I'm thinking it would be really...
I've recently been asked by a family member if I can install them a fan in their en-suite due to moisture.
The fan isn't able to be drilled through the wall due to it being an old terraced home, meaning it can only go above the shower as this is the only area where ducting is available to go...
Hi all, I am not an electrician, I am a tenant in a building where a Twinflex fire alarm system is installed. I have seen a thread on the subject in this forum so I thought I would ask if you have any thoughts about the following matter.
For more than two weeks now we have been experiencing a...

Hi folks new to this but have a question . What are the circumstances that have to be met to fit a 240v fan in zone 1 . I have read that it's acceptable if the fan is ipx4 rated and is on a rcd. I've read that if the manufacturer states the fan is suitable for zone 1 and rcd protected then it is...
I have been searching section 701 but still cant work out the answer to this one..
Can you install a flex outlet plate in zone 2? Bearing in mind it is not switchgear nor current using equipment.. But is also not IPX4 rated.
701.512.2 mentions "installed electrical equipment" shall at...
