Alarm connected to lighting circuit

Posted by Gary Stanley, on
I have just found out that my alarm system is wired directly into the lighting circuit via the ceiling rose, should this not be on the ring main through a fused spur?

Hi Gary, Doesn't have to be off the ring main on a spur no but it should ideally be fitted via a spur on whichever circuit its taken from. This is just so you can isolate the alarm without having to turn the lighting circuit mcb off Thanks Russ
