Hi Guys,
Pop quiz time. can anyone tell me at what date the use if T&E was stopped for detector cts on full L2 system. Was it the 1980 /1988 / 2002 version of the code and was there any exception on dates for red T&E.
Actually same goes for T&E for bell circuits also (although I think that was 1980).
Background behind my question is. Went to fault find on a fire system today and found T&E on detector and bell cts. Obviously I am going to make non compliance comments on this and the many other things I have spotted. My local authority has insisted on fire cable on everything since time began regardless of regs,so my time line of this topic is rubbish. Today though I am working away in another area so have to be able to quote facts and dates and my memory of before 2002 is bleary.
Worst thing is I think this guy only had the alarms installed in 2003 by some unscrupulous person. The list of faults I have found is frightening!!!!!. Even more odd is the alarm has been services by a local firm for 3 years without making comment on it.!! Would like my facts and dates in my amour to assure the guy I am respectable rather than the last guy or guys.
Thanks in advance.
John
