fire detection flat above office

[Knobhead]

You refer to me trying to understand things through this forum to help with the course.
Anyone who works for a Fire Alarm company knows you do Nothing with single phase, 3 phase and such like.
Makes me a jumped up trainee? No.

Makes me want to learn more in a field of which i'm nowhere near going to be able to cope with without the support from the employer. (Which i dont get)

Next you'll say you should be asking questions to progress and what not. In a FA company how would i pass an AM2 exam or understand the more in depth science?

Yeah seems i've completely ****ed off the people that clearly matter to the forum. Does it matter to me? Sure does; as clearly you're the people that would help 'someone' (clearly not me) if obviously a question not stupid needed answering.

Would you care to elucidate?

I’m always eager to learn about power circuits.

I can't be bothered to go back and get that comment that you quoted but, just to put him in his place a bit more Tony, why don't you tell him how much you've handled 240V

Can't believe i missed this thread ... I've seen arrogance in my times but not on this level.. If Poult12 believes he can make a career and earn good money with his kind of blind attitude he's on a fast track to a reality check.... reading his responses regardless of the fact he may be unaware of who are the well educated members are on here is here nor their .... to have complete arrogance that he has the education and experience to dish out advice while dismissing any challenges given to his advice is a strong hint of his character and personality in the real world and ith that attitude his career prospects will always have a ball and chain attached ... I've had possibly 15 apprentices over the years and i can tell from day one who will survive, who will fall and who will exceed and possibly run their own company one day.... PS Im rarely wrong and sorry Poult12 you may scrape a living for a while but with your attitude life gonna be a struggle.

Its not about what you know and don't, its not about giving right or wrong advice what it comes down to is when you are challenged or corrected the manner in which you respond and sorry your attitude stinks!!!

Apologies are fine albeit a small one that was nearly dragged out of you ... in your shoes I'd be personally writing a PM to Tazz with a lengthy apology .(Im hoping you already have without my suggestion TBH).

Ok to show I am a decent person, and except your apology..I will explain the Categories for you.
There are 2 categories P & L ( P= property, L= Life) only real difference is sounders can be scaled down in P, but battery backup would be increase to 72 hours.
L1/P1 is to protect all areas within a building with the idea to protect life or property
L2/P1 is to protect all escape routes and any room which opens onto an escape route
L3/P3 is to protect all escape routes and any room which forms a hazzard to the escape route
L4/P4 is to protect all escape routes within the building leading to an exit
L5/P5 is a system which requires special design, not covering any of the above.

With all categories, a risk assessment and fire strategy report may conclude areas of high risk or areas of low risk.
over the years, some I have come across are, detection in public toilets, due to the risk of arson, removal of void detection in 1.5m ceiling, due to the risk being low and not equipment being stored.
Hope this has helped

United are a joke... Liverpool are too, but for completley different reasons.

That is what experience gives you. Listen to Tazz, he can build the bridge in between a course and books V's real life installs.

I have, and always will take his word on these matters as the gospel truth.
