Changing the OP is just wrong, you should have replied to the posts tut tut

 

[tazz]

DF6000 is addressable, and MF6000 is conventional......MF still in manufacture.

 

[Jackflash]

[telectrix]

i've got the 1960 eagle annual if that will help. LOL.

 

[tazz]

ohhh Series 6000....15 years old + ....discontinued but if its working fine. Only difference between this and modern panels, is a short circuit = fire,and not fault.... so the call points may not have 470 ohm resistors

 

[MDJ]

Aye probably 680s

 

[tazz]

No Mark some of these older systems, had no resistors just N/O contacts.....you may see this in some panel manual, stating set switch 1 for pre 1980 mode.

 

[MDJ]

Mark .

? okay Mark is better than Idiot I suppose

 

[tazz]

Your the last person I would call an idiot....lol
After helping me connect my electric toilet to a 8kw shower...!!

Nothing wrong with that, I recommend wiring the upstairs lighting direct from the shower via a pir, when you go into the bedroom to get your jammas on the shower will automatically start and warm the floor via a volt free contact so when you go to the loo afterwards you may get wet feet but they will be warm.
