We came to carry out an annual service visit at a client’s premises and it was necessary to load test the support battery in this PSU.
Unfortunately, since our last visit, the ceiling grid had been replaced, and we were now confronted with this situation. The installers had failed to notice that this enclosure has a hinged lid! We just have to break it to the client, that it will have to be opened up.
Shame really, they had done such a good job cutting it around the box.

We have a client with many offices around the world, this one is in Australia, and we obviously could not undertake the installation. Call-outs could be challenging!
Here are a couple of PAC door controllers, using a less than conventional cable for the connections to the terminal blocks.
This is in fact speaker wire and unsurprisingly, there were “issues” with the site. We had sent them a useful manual, advising on all aspects of PAC installation, including choice of cable and orientation within the enclosure. Perhaps they did not read it!!
We offered the necessary long distance guidance and with a major rewire, all is now well.
We were approached by ATG Services in Warrington, who had many issues with the very old intercom which was attached to their larger powered sliding gate. Visitors were struggling to gain access to the site and this issue was causing more widespread consternation as this is a multi-tenant situation. As can be seen from
the “before” picture, one does wonder how it worked at all and one would have to agree, it is not the most aesthetic in appearance.
We investigated the current wiring and found it to be at best, very confusing and in poor condition.
This seemed an ideal opportunity for the Videx GSM intercom which we have deployed successfully on many sites over the past few years. The appearance and functionality found great favour with the MD Pat Parkins who, following some pertinent enquiries, placed an order almost immediately.
Word had spread around the site and another resident, Eddie Render from JGR Distribution Ltd expressed considerable interest in becoming involved, as his business was definitely suffering from the intermittent intercom issue. An easy upgrade to an additional call button brought his business onto the system.
Equipment ordered and assembled, with appropriate name tags installed, the whole project was up and running in little more than half a day.
Both Pat and Eddie are delighted with the appearance and functionality, peace and harmony have returned to this little backwater of Warrington.
