Yep there were two cables coming in the same opening, no way to make the grommet seal. Also, that nice white connector on the camera comes with an IP66 seal, I always use it outdoors.
Yeah... I used self amalgamating tape on mine, belt and braces. Also I really think those pass-through (EZ RJ45) are asking for trouble, even the ones that have caps. The RJ45 with a load bar/bridge bar are just as quick to make off.
I would avoid those pass through connectors. Bare copper on the end is more likly to corrode if exposed to damp conditions than the gold plated connector. Also you shouldn't be crimping RJ45 connectors onto solid cable as they are not designed for this.
5:49 When I did by first IPAF day, I was told it's not a requirement on a scissor (1b,3b), as the harness's main function is in a boom, to stop you being thrown from the basket. That is the reason they tell you to have as short as a lanyard as possible, to prevent ejection from the basket.
December marks my 10 year anniversary of working with my current employer. These last few years I've absolutely hated it! Treated like dirt and nothing more than just a number. Those guys are very lucky to have you as a boss, please never change how you treat your staff, its very refreshing to see! Incredible environment to work in, hats off to you man.
Great video Tom, been following you for years when it was just you on your own you’ve done very well mate. Recently at 32 I have started my own company I’m a commercial gas engineer doing commercial plant room works etc. Shocked how much work goes in behind the scenes people wouldn’t believe with all the HRMC etc quotes insurances. your a great inspiration keep the hard work up any tips welcome bud.
On the scissor lift topic, I always tried to latch where possible but haven't since doing IPAF. On the tower front, a boss or youngman tower would give you much more confidence in its safety. And on the scissor lift front, we've just bought a power tower, doesn't weigh tons, but should only be used inside. A SJ3 would work for you with a suitable low loader
22:39, re the gym, you'll need to provide a shower somewhere in the unit to wash after, even if it's a shower in a plastic portaloo/portapotty cabin thing with a saniflo pump. I'm fairly sure HSE require it. 🙂 sounds like your going to become an even better place to work mate. On another note your only a year older than me mate!
I recommend you to always use an Ethernet cable analyzer, such as the new Fluke CableIQ, when terminating cables. It is not as expensive as a cable certifier, however it is much better than most cable testers that in fact aren’t really testers. You will avoid 99.9% issues related to problems with the Ethernet cable itself and/or rj45 connectors. And it will help you troubleshoot other issues such as PoE problems. For the past 25 years I work in IT, and I can assure you it is invaluable when installing ethernet cables or installing PoE cameras. Greetings from Belgium
Good insight on Lighting circuit and your diagram drawing Tom , And it looks like I’m going to have to get used to Crawling in the Loft , Thanks Jensen 👊
Thats funny ive had the exact same problem with my crimpers and they look exactly the same you could visibly see that it was missing pins when crimping ofcourse it took multiple times recrimping and scratching my head before i figured it out. I now have a crimp tool that works with pass through cat 5e rj45s and is so much easier you dont have to worry about ensuring all the wires are the same length when inserting them because they pass through the rj45 and then are cut off neatly in the crimping process has saved a lot of time and reterminating and head scratching lol. Those klein ones look the business though will have to check them out. Love your videos been doing cctv and alarms for two years in New Zealand and starting my electrical apprenticeship in couple days.
have you ever used those 3 position 2 way switches, they work wonders if you have automatic lights where you can have them just on by bypassing the PIR, off or PIR control. got it on my drive way lights works great.
GRP towers are such a ball ache to work with they are heavy and cumbersome. The floors are friction fit hooks as apposed to the it ally counterpart. Unless its specified by the client and you can risk assess it out I would deffinatly go for the ally tower over grp and if you do get the odd job where it needs grp just hire it in. If youve not used one before i would seriously consider hiring one of each for a day and have a go with them so you get a feel for them. My old job used to take me on the rail and we always used ally unless specified by the works package plan.
I usually fit reolink and have found it to be very good, out the box it's ready to go, I noticed the cable came in the top of the box, water could have tracked down to the connection. The electrician following you on that lighting job will have some fun in the future😂😂
I’m not sure of the way the scissor lifts are in the UK , but here in Canada there is D rings bolted on the floor of the scissor lifts that you latch onto. And it is mandatory to use a harness for anything over 8 ft on a ladder or any personnel lifting device.
During my ipaf they said to not wear a harness in a scissor (1a, 3a) for the reasons you said unless it's a special circumstance with no/low rails for example then you'd use a restraint harness. However you do use one in a picker/boom (1b/3b) because you can go over a bump and catapult yourself out, however you don't ever wear one if you're working near water as if the picker falls into the water a harness will stop you from escaping
Don't forget that some RJ-45 connectors are made for solid and some for stranded wire. You will end up with intermittent connections if you use the wrong type.
Good job Tom. With the harnessing the lifts and the cherry picker .the harness is supposed to be super short lanyard so u can't fall out or climb on the rails .
Skyjack scissor lifts we use have lashing points for harness. On another note I seem to remember you getting stick on your original video for not paying attention to colours when terminating. I guess its water although its under gutter and soffit so quite surprising. Ip Box fail ? I had a wiska box let water in the other day and everything was very tight, now its full of gel !
So nice to see a human being running his business without a shitty-corporate approach (won't say names here :p). Glad you're not wasting viewer's time with videos in which you learn Jay, James , Sarah to speak in the same way.
I've seen similar burnt out RJ45 connectors when PoE is sent down EZ RJ45 style connectors (ones where the cores poke through the until the crimper cuts them off) as there is then bare cores on the end of the connector which makes them much more likely to short
Also I'd recommend only one cable per gland on the box, and using the ones at the bottom so gravity works on your side. Also worth using the included cable grip with the camera for extra protection
11:15 your drawing of a 2 way switch circuit took me am minute to get it ^^ I learned it different, Live to C from Switch 1 and lamp goes to C of switch 2 and then wires L1-L1 and L2-L2
As far as I can work out by drawing the flowing power, Tom's circuit only works if both switches are set from c to l1, any other combo breaks the flow. Really confused as I created the exact setup (by accident) tom drew, and was wondering for half an hour why I could only switch the lights on if upstairs and downstairs switches where both pointing down.
Here (in Germany) the regulation is: whenever there is a marked point (with the blue sign, as in your bucket) you have to use it. If the scissor lift has none, then you don't have to tie in, especially when you are not allowed to use the rail. Basically, do what the vendor expects you to do.
@@dj_paultuk7052 did u see the state of that cable to it looked like it got caught and stripped some of the cable as well but yeah the seal was not even installed
There are points for fixings your harness. Harnesses are only required in scissor lifts when conditions merit it. Flat solid ground, indoors and no wind, then no need for harness. More when conditions merit harnesses. We recently completed 3a and 3b last week and asked this question.
i learnt the hard way always make use of that waterproof caps that come with the cam even if u put it in a well sealed box and add 1 or 2 of those silica gel pack to remove moisture
Hi Tom at work we hire out haulotte scissor lifts and they have the tie in points on them we have a 8meter and a 10 nice to operate and relatively cheap to buy I believe would probably be what I would recommend
Did the send you a new power adapter with the NVR? Had a problem once and it was the adapter not putting out enough juice weird things would happen with the cameras.
I keep looking at the diagram of those two switches thinking they re wired wrong ... I mean not wrong but like someone just wanted to use one more wire for some reason ... shouldnt the input be on the top "C " of one of those and ouptput on the C of the other one ? ....
Can be done either way Problem I have with the drawing is the feed to either side of the ‘single’ when in fact both should be in the same terminal, as the other side is the neutral. Tom knows this of course, it’s just an error on the drawing
In the UK it’s generally recommended not to wear a harness in scissors. You can’t be bounced out of a scissor like you can in a boom. Also scissors generally have a larger work platform and a lanyard is just a potential trip hazard. However it’s up to the site to make their own rules. I’ve been on sites in other countries that insist on harness in any work platform.
I remember the same from IPAF training. Going over a bump in a boom lift can catapult you out. Scissor lifts are far less likely to do that plus you walk around more in a scissor lift, making a lanyard a trip hazard.
Hey Tom just curious to know , when you make changes to the wiring like here , do you label the new wires and all that or do you just remember everything ? Cause I don't think I could . Cheers mate 👍.
Where work we don’t wear harnesses for scissor lift but all the one I have been on have dedicated harnesses tie off point and surely you just shorten the resistant so it not long enough that you can actually fall over the side
@@terrysinclair136 my favorite so far has to be the radiator one: "Brian... this Rad's in the way" -"oh don't worry just fucking board over it. No-one will fucking know!"
Wondering if a product known as a switch multiplier could be configured to switch the one load from two independent switches. Clipsal used to make a product for the Australian market which I'm pretty certain could be set up to do what you are after. Would be interested to see if there was an equivalent product. (And for the love of all that is holy, its 8p8c, 🙃)
I am only familiar with PIR in the US. Some of our products allow for permanent lights on by toggling the power witch to the PIR. So no special wiring needed. Easy Peasey.
Yes some PIRs sold in the UK have that option - I don't know if they are better now but they used to be prone to turning on permanently if there was a short power outage - and as they were often used (before LED floodlights) with 500W halogen floods that could be quite expensive if you were away.
whats your thoughts on wireless switches, iv my electric gates, garage door, roof lights, and roof fans all on a 4button fob. iv wired sons up with them, and used them to fir a disabled fella's equipment. really getting into them. even fitted fingerprint door controls. they are chinese, but stuff is in 4+ yrs and not had a single fail or issue
Can't remember if it was Ireland or the UK but a few years back I remember reading a story about 2 lads killed when the scissor lift they where working on toppled over into a river. The lads didn't die in the fall they drown because they pulled under by there harnesses. Since then I stopped using a harness in a sissor lift.
CCTV such old technology! Ive been using cloud based system for over 5 years. very easy to setup, relatively inexpensive and very reliable. My current system is from the Amazon stable.
Ive had some issues with mates setup and it turned out to be a faulty port on the NVR So before u start doing any troubleshooting start plugging cameras 1by1
I like gymnast rings so that are adjustable enough so you can practice L sits, push ups, pull ups, iron cross and back/chest mobility (basically everything but legs)
PIRs just have a relay from Live to Switched Live, no need to disconnect power when overriding, just put a switch between Live and the Switched Live output.
Looking at that switch rework was wrong to me, you now have no way of switching off the pir. When ever I’ve had to install an override switch on a pir I use a 3 position switch, common to l1, l2 or off
That James is a naughty boy , being the balloooooon guy will stay with him , you will get him back Tom , looking forward to seeing the revenge video next week 😎😎😉😉👍, oh by the way , great video , I hate crawling around my loft , I hate feeling around people's cars and Van's doing my job , but it's our job , I am too old to retrain , you do what's best for you 😉😎😂👍💸💸💸💸💸
I used scissor lifts in rail working on rolling stock, we had two that were 'normal' and two with drop sides to access roof equipment. rule was if working with a dropped side you had to harness, if not then free reign to work without. Normally we worked without and just had the basket a little bit lower....
In scissor lifts there are designated points but the are on the deck and are just an absolute bastard to work around,I used to build pallet racking for a living and never worn a harness in one
I just saw your 9. jun. 2020 video where you installed 5 contactors in a steel cabinet, should they not be covered afterwards ??, in Denmark where I live, we must always use cabinets with front covers so you can not touch the cables, thanks for at great channel, i love learning about other countries electrical installations and your tips :-)
21:41 In the USA you really have to watch out about tying live conductors together if the branch circuits are different, with our 120/240 split phase you could end up with a short between the L1/L2 if the depending on which leg they are on. If they are fed from the same breaker you are good, if not 💥🤦♂️ The common problem also could be shared neutrals causing tripping on the RCBO/GFCI's as those would be on GFCI feeds in the USA for wet areas.
Really only an issue in the UK with a 3-phase system (your domestic 220 in the US is, of course, a split-phase hence not being able to parallel two 120v legs). In the UK new domestic installations are now 100% RCD/GFCI protected, both sockets and lights. Installations under 20ish years old will have several or most of the sockets RCD protected because the regs used to require protection on sockets likely to need it (e.g. shed, kitchen). It was just easier to group circuits off 1-2 RCDs in the consumer unit (breaker box). Sadly it's an outdated practice that continues in crapper new installs. Full RCBOs for the win. We also have regs that give a minimum distance of 3m/10ft from any bath or shower and 600mm/2ft from any sink, e.g. kitchen. In practice this means no sockets in bathrooms (except for shaver sockets fed from an isolating transformer), and light switches are either outside the bathroom or on one of those manky pullcords.
Decided to put lights in my wardrobe a few months ago, which involved getting into the loft. Can confirm, it was like potholing and I've definitely gained lockdown weight.
waiting for the dick dust caps and replacing important tools in drawers with rubber johnnies...still nothing beats spraying red welding dye penetrant into your mates steelies when he's wearing white socks..
3:44 Definitely water not heat - dark grey/black deposits.
Yep there were two cables coming in the same opening, no way to make the grommet seal. Also, that nice white connector on the camera comes with an IP66 seal, I always use it outdoors.
Also missing the connector cover that comes with the cams...
Yeah... I used self amalgamating tape on mine, belt and braces. Also I really think those pass-through (EZ RJ45) are asking for trouble, even the ones that have caps. The RJ45 with a load bar/bridge bar are just as quick to make off.
Never had a problem with EZ-RJ45, but I do always mount them so condensate won't fill up the receptacle even if the seal breaks.
I would avoid those pass through connectors. Bare copper on the end is more likly to corrode if exposed to damp conditions than the gold plated connector. Also you shouldn't be crimping RJ45 connectors onto solid cable as they are not designed for this.
I'm listening. Watch you every week with my husband.
Better than what's on TV?
Ever thought of cutting off your cable TV, and just go with internet, like TH-cam or daily motion only for many things.
5:49 When I did by first IPAF day, I was told it's not a requirement on a scissor (1b,3b), as the harness's main function is in a boom, to stop you being thrown from the basket. That is the reason they tell you to have as short as a lanyard as possible, to prevent ejection from the basket.

CCTV such old technology! Ive been using cloud based system for over 5 years. very easy to setup, relatively inexpensive and very reliable. My current system is from the Amazon stable.
and how do those cameras communicate with the magic cloud - the force?
Ive had some issues with mates setup and it turned out to be a faulty port on the NVR
So before u start doing any troubleshooting start plugging cameras 1by1
I like gymnast rings so that are adjustable enough so you can practice L sits, push ups, pull ups, iron cross and back/chest mobility (basically everything but legs)
PIRs just have a relay from Live to Switched Live, no need to disconnect power when overriding, just put a switch between Live and the Switched Live output.
Love the selected quotes 😆😆😆
Looking at that switch rework was wrong to me, you now have no way of switching off the pir. When ever I’ve had to install an override switch on a pir I use a 3 position switch, common to l1, l2 or off
I suggest having a look at an Altrex towers. They are made in the Netherlands. The newer ones are superb. There may be an importer in the UK.
That James is a naughty boy , being the balloooooon guy will stay with him , you will get him back Tom , looking forward to seeing the revenge video next week 😎😎😉😉👍, oh by the way , great video , I hate crawling around my loft , I hate feeling around people's cars and Van's doing my job , but it's our job , I am too old to retrain , you do what's best for you 😉😎😂👍💸💸💸💸💸
Tom needs to get on crystal maze with that A+ mind blagging thought process
I used scissor lifts in rail working on rolling stock, we had two that were 'normal' and two with drop sides to access roof equipment. rule was if working with a dropped side you had to harness, if not then free reign to work without. Normally we worked without and just had the basket a little bit lower....
I had the same issue with hikvision. Turned out to be my crimps weren’t pushing the ends in far enough
True, get the click.
I love when these videos come out
I'm glad you do !
Another great video has always Thomas
So glad I'm no electrician it would do my spud in trying to work out where everything went 👍😉
Thank you Tony. It did take us the whole day to get it working!
In scissor lifts there are designated points but the are on the deck and are just an absolute bastard to work around,I used to build pallet racking for a living and never worn a harness in one
Ideal make a feed through rj45 too I have the klien but the ideal one is worth a look
12:30 quinetic switch sorted
Scissor lift 1.5tonne is a heavy beast? What tiny things have you been using, smallest ones I've ever used were about 5 tonne
I just saw your 9. jun. 2020 video where you installed 5 contactors in a steel cabinet, should they not be covered afterwards ??, in Denmark where I live, we must always use cabinets with front covers so you can not touch the cables, thanks for at great channel, i love learning about other countries electrical installations and your tips :-)
If I feel the need for exercise, I lay down until the feeling goes away.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
21:41 In the USA you really have to watch out about tying live conductors together if the branch circuits are different, with our 120/240 split phase you could end up with a short between the L1/L2 if the depending on which leg they are on. If they are fed from the same breaker you are good, if not 💥🤦♂️ The common problem also could be shared neutrals causing tripping on the RCBO/GFCI's as those would be on GFCI feeds in the USA for wet areas.
Really only an issue in the UK with a 3-phase system (your domestic 220 in the US is, of course, a split-phase hence not being able to parallel two 120v legs).
In the UK new domestic installations are now 100% RCD/GFCI protected, both sockets and lights. Installations under 20ish years old will have several or most of the sockets RCD protected because the regs used to require protection on sockets likely to need it (e.g. shed, kitchen). It was just easier to group circuits off 1-2 RCDs in the consumer unit (breaker box). Sadly it's an outdated practice that continues in crapper new installs. Full RCBOs for the win.
We also have regs that give a minimum distance of 3m/10ft from any bath or shower and 600mm/2ft from any sink, e.g. kitchen. In practice this means no sockets in bathrooms (except for shaver sockets fed from an isolating transformer), and light switches are either outside the bathroom or on one of those manky pullcords.
Love the banter, looking forward to Mondays revenge
👀 👀 👀
I was always under the impression that pir sensors done like to be switched?
Decided to put lights in my wardrobe a few months ago, which involved getting into the loft. Can confirm, it was like potholing and I've definitely gained lockdown weight.
Nice video Tom, loving the revenge series lol can't wait to see where this goes!
You and me both!
waiting for the dick dust caps and replacing important tools in drawers with rubber johnnies...still nothing beats spraying red welding dye penetrant into your mates steelies when he's wearing white socks..
