It is crazy though that there are so many posts on this thread. Who would have believed it would go on this long?

Ok I think I understand their fuck up now.

Fire alarm loops should have devices called "short circuit isolators" fitted between detection zones, & when zones have over a certain amount of devices (20?) they should have additional of these fitted. These do exactly as they are called, if there is a short circuit on the cabling, the short circuit isolators either side of the short break the loop circuit, leaving the rest of the zones on the loop working ok (provided there is only one short on the loop). When these activate, you lose all the devices in the area where the wiring fault is, making it far easier to track down & repair.

Most manufacturers have these as standard in callpoints & interface units, so you can get by without having to specifically order any additional, as long as the device layout is set so a callpoint/interface are the first/last device on the zone. I can only assume this is not the case with Minerva kit, & either the designer failed to include separate short circuit isolators on the design (unlikely), or the installation team didn't know what they were & didn't bother fitting them (most likely).

I don't get why they would need expertise from Canada for that though, it's just another device on the loop, nothing fancy at all.
Glad you understood it !!

Initially I would say most would have expected it to go on longer than 2 years if we hadn't been told it would be done in less. They should never have told us when it will open. It's like telling kids 'we'll take you to Disney World one day'.

It's worse than that. It's like saying 'I'll take you to Disney World next summer" then saying "Actually you have to wait another year, I'll take you next summer" !

It’s worse than that. It’s like saying I’ll take you to Disney World. And then taking them to Wembley.
