INDUSTRIAL FIRE ALARM

He just wasn't there today . he maybe tomorrow or the next so will ask.

Whats the harm in asking here then mate ?

Nothing at all but I find it worrying you are installing a safety system and asking quite rudimentary questions.

How big is the system? Anything over a few offices or small block of flats then addressable is the way forward...no EOL monitors/resistors to worry about either.

Its relatively small. 3 zones, 3 heads on two zones , 10 on the 3 rd plus call points.

So how did you learn ?

Do you know the make of the panel etc?

 

[westward10]

Has this been designed in accordance with BS5839 Part 1.

Not as yet its only just in the first fix stage/ installing the cables/heads

I don't see what the relevance of some of the questions being asked...The OP has asked a question and from this people have gathered he's not up to the job and shouldn't be carrying out such work etc....Because the OP doesn't understand how the system works doesn't mean he lacks the ability to install a system...It happens a lot on sites, someone designs and commissions the system and the sparks on site do the 1st and 2nd fixing. There is no harm in trying to get a better understanding of how it works from the forum.....

Cheers mate. The system has been designed and planned in accordance with all relevant regs and docs. Im installing as instructed by my boss who isnt always on site. Its not difficult but its easy to 'be a robot' and just install parrot fashion.....just trying to learn as I go :-D

Maybe if he had been clearer with the first post like in #23 then maybe that would not have happened because it gave the impression he was doing this ad hoc.

What's everyone's beef with the OP in this thread ?

Fair enough, OP I owe you an apology, friends now

 

[daiplayer]

Any way ........

If there are diodes installed in the radial circuit , then presumably it achieves a half wave signal at the panel ? or it it DC ?
