Dave and I tested a fire alarm unit at an Amnesty Bookstore in Hammersmith. Took a while to get down to the source of the problem, but I eventually found it (amidst a pile of rat shit). I'm also explaining a little bit on testing batteries as lots of people were interested in the comments.
Here a link to a similar model of the battery tester I used:

In fairness 75% of domestic electrical work is just common sense. I doubt there is a house in the country that doesn’t include work done by a DIYer. There’s also plenty of shocking work done by supposedly competent sparks.

Tom. Please ignore the moaners. These people have nothing else to do. What you do is incredibly interesting and there are so many people who would watch just to see how it's done without actually wanting to attempt it themselves.

I’ve got that book and it’s what I used to become an elektric.

As my Grandfather says, the problem with common sense is that these days it tends to not be that common.....With your videos, it is blatantly obvious that you're a professional spark, and not just some dingus who thinks he knows what he's doing. You're not liable for someone else's stupidity if they try to replicate what you're doing.

Don't waste your money on a battery tester. Just replace it after three and a half years after the manufacture date.

The part where you're looking above the ceiling tiles reminds me of Aliens I can just imagine 5-6 rats racing towards you, then you jumping down and spraying your pulse rifle with a badly fitting helmet and armour.

I didn't see a single ghost.

@darrenwillingham506 3 года назад

Wouldn’t use those battery testers on a power sonic battery. Anything above a 12Ahr will give you bad readings and will fail even new ones.

As a general rule of thumb, your waist area shouldn't be any higher than the top tread as this is where your centre of gravity is. You can easily lose your balance or have the stepladder topple from beneath if you climb any higher. Dave is clearly using the wrong size stepladder, 6 treads fit nicely in the van and are easy enough to carry round on site.

Why his he looking above the system ..find the eol ..check voltage and work your way back til u find the issue .typical sparks lol

Legit, at my place of work, to be "allowed" to use a step ladder above the first step I had to sit through a 30 min death by powerpoint about how to use a stepladder.

You'll be pleased to know that I'm not watching your vids (or anyone else's) for the purpose of doing a trained electricians job. I found you through a particularly deep RU-vid rabbit hole one evening. A bit of backstory, I'm autistic and have CPTSD stemming primarily from 2 house fires and an incident with the fire alarm system at my primary school (TLDR: the room the boiler was in had some upgrades done to it or something and they didn't think to silence the detectors nearby).

Can't get enough of tom's channel, Can't wait for the next one.

Have used the exact ACT battery tester on work experience! Brilliant pieces of kit they are, quite accurate as well!

@DanstheEngineer 4 года назад

When you post videos on fire alarms it naturally catches my eye 👀 Hope all is well Thomas

@Rob_M_jr 4 года назад

I have the same battery tester. It's a great tester, but alot of technicians dont know that those should be sent back to ACT annually for recalibration. As an edit: ACT sells a self calibration kit also. Keep up the great videos Thomas.
