Common Faults
A very high percentage of calls to our technical support number, regarding new
installations, are resolved to faulty wiring. The reasons for these are various: -
Broken cores, especially short links, sometimes broken inside the insulation.
•
Connectors clamped onto the insulation instead of copper.
•
Short or open circuits due to cables having been stapled or nailed through.
