For future reference op :) Power (watts) รท Voltage (volts-uk is 230v) =Current(amps) So, 310/230=1.35 amps, way under a 6 or 10 amp max switch...
And if there is a decent lintel there you may struggle with a standard hammer drill, SDS would make light work of it though :)
Glad it appears sorted, just a quick query, When you fully disconnected all power sources did the external sounder activate?
If it's a bungalow there's probably just one ring final, and they've just extended it into the new upstairs rooms, common practice in my...
Fitted literally hundreds of Tex Elites, nice stuff, but knocking on a ton for a keypad, more than a panel!.
Let's hope those markings just show the position of the lighting stuff below the boards, and that some real cowboy hasn't left a 230v nasty above...
Kool, you just can't help yourself eh?:) It's been a while since good old dynamite has been suggested though:cool:
You do not need to connect an earth to the plastic back box, it's non conductive, hence the manufacturers do not provide one.
Welcome home :)
A bit harsh possibly:), most sparks wouldn't undertake a quick outside light etc, due to costing implications, if they do, it's because they fit...
If I have to drill from inside out, I use a 8mm bit, and take the hammer action off for the last bit, even if it takes an extra 15 minutes to...
It's standard twin and earth cable, not UV rated, but there's probably millions of properties using it for outside work :rolleyes:
All external sounders are compatible with any panel, albeit with a bit of jiggery pokery. The panel supplies voltage, a bell trigger, a Strobe...
Looking at the op's first post, I assumed he'd used two separate -ve cores to the sounder, including one going to the T terminal, so a link...
Use a meter and follow the -ve wiring back to the panel tamper return terminal, there must be a break somewhere.
Separate names with a comma.
