[Dean Williams]

Hi folks
is there anything on the british market like this?
circuitsiren.com

i do eicr's on a regular basis and invariably i'm on my own. next week im starting a huge job testing the county council offices, at night, which will take 6 months!!
not a single circuit in the entire building is identified.

at the moment im using a home made device consisting of a fire alarm sounder set on a continuous tone, not too loud, which ove fixed to an adaptable box with a 12v transformer inside wired to a 13A plugtop.

I just use a fuse finder , still got to go back and connect it to all parts of the circuit though. Does make life easier if switching off is a problem.

i don't trust fuse finders. the last time i used one was in a large factory, ended up switching a running machine off!

I use the Buzz-it socket tester, which is similar but could do with a louder buzzer:
Martindale Buzz-IT Check Plug BZ101 13A Socket Tester BZ101

Buzz-it for me as well. Loads of companies make them and they offer different tests, but as I understand it Martindale were the first.

i've got a buzz-it. its good for short distances but as previously said, not loud enough.

Ive got a socket n see one it lasted about a month now it does strange things will buy a martindale one if i can find someone that delivers outside uk for a reasonable price
