On a recent service visit, we were obliged to check batteries in various enclosures and if necessary, replace them. Imagine our consternation on being confronted with this situation!! One wonders about the thought processes that occurred when the ceiling installation team made this decision. It may well bring into question, their ability to sit the right way around on a toilet!! Furthermore, we are indeed grateful, that they chose not to be airline pilots, brain surgeons etc………….
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.
