Just came across your channel through this video, i’m currently studying to become an electrician along with juggling full time work💀but loved the video, the humour and I gotta ask mukka, am yow from the black country an all?😂P.S i also have a monster a day, but gotta balance that shit out with a big bottle of water😂👌🏻keep up the ace work, just subbed
@@YoungBobby98 Hey mate! Thank you for the love🙏🏼 I feel your pain, I also did my quals night school whilst working 6/7 days a week, fight through it mate you’ll smash it!! Love that😂 I’m Kidderminster myself but spent half my life in Birmingham and surrounding so I’d say yes to that😂😂 mate that’s class I literally have a 3L jug of squash with me in the day to balance the monster out😂😂
fishing that type of "power cable" 3:37 through the wall would be a code violation here(usa) and I imagine it would be there also, seeing it's an appliance/extension cord/portable type cabling. not in wall rated, etc. also smaller gauge, which I believe there would go to a fused plug or am I thinking of the wrong country?
Hey dude! Mmm not so sure on that one, can’t say I’ve ever come across that (UK) this is a 1.5mm flex cable we use over here, Live, neutral, earth. Often used 99% of the time with things such as access control, intruder alarms, CCTV etc.. and much more. Perfectly up to standards for what we do with it but may be different over there for you guys!
Enjoyed this, it’s been a long time since I’ve done AACS. Not sure if you did this or not, BS 7671 includes prevention of premature collapse of cables, especially on escape routes, so within the trunking metal band or fold over clips are used, might be teaching granny to suck eggs, so apologies if that’s the case, oh, the door could do with a closure device 😊
@@Chatterisdotbiz Thanks a lot for the feedback mate, really appreciate it! I must admit in this case I used all round band within the trunking which I tend to use 90% of the time within the trunking keeping it nice & tight! This was also fitted super sorry I didn’t add this into my video! Thanks man! ⚡️
Thanks mate, I’ll add this into the next video for sure! On this we drilled at two separate angles. One from the door frame where the connection would sit up, one down from the inside of the trunking to meet in the middle 👍🏼
Good video mate, I always like to put the PTE as first point of contact meaning I’d of swapped them around and put the pte on the right but can’t beat abit of door access
@@lukemacleod6325 Thanks mate! I must agree looking back on this install I’d have probably done the same (usually would) purely making it easier for the user to not get confused & hit the BG😂 thanks man!
Monster, for forking things up faster and emitting more blood. My motto is if you're not bleeding, you ain't working.. lol always stabbing myself with screw drivers, or other sharp things/splinters.
What are your thoughts on EN179 & EN1125 regarding mechanical escape? Or BS EN 1125 2008 regarding panic devices? Or Building Regulations 2010 that state that there should be a minimum clear headroom of 2m (which your maglock is within)?
@@CallumWK Thanks for the comment mate! Should be absolutely adhered to at all times, in this case with it being a school we link out all of our panels to a relay within the fire system. I’ll add this into my next video for you. Meaning when the fire panel goes into either fault or fire all door systems are released & any individuals inside can safely escape! Push to exit button provides a standard route of exit. Break glass in times of emergency although the fire relay does this so this acts as a back up if you like mate.
@@WattageWill That doesnt account for the mechanical means of escape as the RTE is electronic - and linking access control to the fire alarm in a school means that anyone can gain access to any door by pushing a MCP which I'm willing to bet is accessible in the reception area before an access door. IMO the installation shown, like many others goes against all of the standards above. EN14846 doesn't apply here but if there are also mag locks attached to internal fire doors, that's another one for the list.
@@CallumWKare you suggesting that access control on doors shouldn’t be linked to the fire alarm via an interface? If it wasn’t then all doors would remain locked in an event of a fire!
@@lloydc1092 Which is why mechanical egress is part of the standard - free egress toward the fire escape direction via a mechanical handle not by electronic means.
@@CallumWK The doors will release in an event of a fire regardless if connected to the fire alarm- plus you have a RTE & BG If needed. If automated, even better - I think it would be a bit more difficult for a person using a wheelchair to use a push bar to exit the building, especially if not maintained
Subscribed! Been waiting for a channel like this for ages! So many sparky ones but no fire & security ones. Loving it, keep them coming!
@@GS-vj4lu Hello mate! Thank you so much for the support, I thought the same though.. here’s to the future content🙏🏼
same
Great work! I’d love to see a video on wiring a fire alarm system with the different zones. No body has got a video like that
@@sukhi17 Thanks mate I really appreciate that!
That’s definitely something I can look into getting on the channel for sure!

Would have been nice to see how you got the cable to the maglock through the door frame , cheers

100% always put RTE closest to door
Get yourself some locking forceps great as they are very thin and can clamp on the wire and take no room up in the tool pouch.
@@wjnr1 Thanks man!!
Whats the reason for needing shit like monster anyhow mate?
You’re right dude😂 need to get rid of the horrible addiction😭
Monster, for forking things up faster and emitting more blood.

Switch to Sneak - better for you than Monster!
@@hew34 Thanks man! I’ll check it out 🙏🏼
