Not if you use a loop system Civvy.

Civvy means that Manual systems have no automatic smoke detection

Civvy means that manual only systems have no automatic smoke detection

Soooooo,as pointed out by others - everything that has been done before is wrong and needs to be changed and that it's all a big conspiracy??
I know what is meant be a radial in the case of a fire alarm system,as do the rst of the guys who work with the things 24/7 on a daily basis (that's 24 minutes out of 7 hours when you take out the tea breaks).
Without knowing the OP's history,you're not a sparkey who has got their hands on a copy of 5839 are you??

I'm away back to my comfort zone as you're all mad in here these days!!

Happy New Year to all btw   ;D!

Hi All,
Something has just struck me, why not ask Colin Todd why he has used the term 'radial sounder circuits' (plural).

radial-spreading out from a central point.

exactly what a sounder circuit does from the CIE

and there is usually two of them.......

In electrical engineering terms 'a radial system' is a number of 'spurs' eminating from a central point; and you are using radial system sounders on 'sounder circuit two' of a 'two zone system'!

Just because a 'final circuit' and a 'spur final circuit' can loosely be descibed as being 'radial' to one another, does not mean that they constitute 'a radial system', therefore you are making a mistake by using 'radial system' components in this way.

The problem is, when it hits the fan who is going to be held responsible? (please see Royal Marsden Hospital).

So how many how many people have been injured / died as a result of using the "wrong" radial components - presumably you mean sounders

If I install a Roshni on my definition of a radial circuit as indicated in the manufacturer's literature are you saying that is wrong ?

David you have mentioned the  Royal Marsden Hospital before but the official  report into the fire makes no mention whatsoever  of any problems with the fire alarm system.
