I need to install an electric lock on the back door of the hotel where I work. The lock has two parts, one receives a plastic card with holes punched into it. the other part uses a 24v dc solenoid to free the striker and release the door. the issue I am having is with the wiring of the system. There are three wires coming from the building (red white green) and three going to the solenoid/latch (red white green). There are seven connections on the punch card part labeled 1-7 (4 and 5 are jumper-ed together).I have taken my multi tester and there is no power in the wires, (should be 24v dc?).What wires go where? I have no paperwork on this and the manufacturer charges $75 per half hour.
No.. he would need to drench her in gas to keep the fire going strong. A match would not start a fire on a blanket, and even if it did it wouldn't last that long. There would always be burnt remains, so I am not sure about the anybody finding out part. Maybe her corpse would be unrecognizable, but realistically it won't disappear completely.
Whether or not the landlord fits a smoke alarm in a private dwelling depends on (amongst other things) what their fire risk assessment says, and with so much different legislation (which all overlaps) it can be confusing at the best of times - 'best practise' would be that they fit an alarm, fire blanket and extinguisher within the flat, but they are not legally obliged to do so. You can get smoke alarms for pennies these days, I think that in some parts of the country the Fire Brigade still give them out free! Normally the landlord would be responsible for the building itself, any communal areas and any fire safety devices that are part of the fabric of the building (hard wired alarms, dry risers etc..), they are also responsible for any equipment that they provide with the tenants flat as part of the tenancy agreement. Assuming that they supplied the cooker - If there were another incident after you had already told them that it was dangerous (make sure that you have a written record of this) then the landlord would most likely be prosecuted, and as such, common sense tells me that she should really replace it (and indeed is obligated to do so). Although, (leaving morality and common sense aside) if she has an engineers report saying that it's fine to use then she could well wrangle her way out of it. Hope this helps
Dont take any risks with fires. I almost got killed by one not to long ago, but it killed two friends of mine :(
