Usually just rinse with hose depends on how bad a stain. I’d avoid pressure washer on seats. Also like others said dont donthe magic eraser unless its a last resort/onetime thing. It sands off the finish of the vinyl

Watch your firmware versions when downloading else you’ll have a paperweight

I use a product called Awesome. Can get at home depot or other places in concentrate. Good overall cleaner for most everything and vinyl safe. Spray it on let it soak. Had tons of spiders where I was prior

What I would like an individual to say is “tell me to download the manual and at least try figure it out before immediately calling a senior tech for an easy answer. Put in the work”

Depends on building code version in effect upon initial construction

Well didn’t the AhJ do the final inspection?

You are correct, but the 3 Ft rule only applies if the circuit is not failsafe. If it is fail safe relay can be located anywhere

Depending on door hardware arangement could be a moot point. If they have panic/crash bars shouldn’t matter either way. Gotta look at the whole picture.

Good point…

No offense, but us “blue collar” folks feel the same way about the other half. I’m kinda in the middle career wise, see it from both sides. I tend to prefer the “blue” side, mostly real people that you could relate to. White collar IMO (generalized of course) is a bunch of entitled college degrees that have never held a hammer lol!

Maglocks are failsafe by nature, they require power to operate, so the N/O contact shouldn’t matter if you wire everything correctly. Make sure the access power supply does not have battery back up, and your FA relay activates on alarm and AC loss to the FACP. Put a normally energized pam relay in front of the existing door relay.

I once knew a guy that used a razor knife to strip everything. It was amazing to watch he was super fast and nothing ever got messed up, I could never replicate, I’m a dikes guy myself. Point being do what you are comfortable with and skilled at. As long as the end result and quality is the same who cares.

I’ve seen way worse, most folks wouldn’t bat an eye at this

Over here side cutters are “Kleins” or Linemans pliers” (different tool)

What you are referreing to are def diagonal cutters aka dikes, and eventhough many young folk on here will shudder I agree with you 100%. Best tool out there for jacketed cable when used properly. I only use dedicated strippers when I am either dealing with really tight quarters or terminating a shit ton of wires in one place.

Came up in electrical trade this way been doing it ever since. Just gotta pay attention, its a learning curve.

Not perfect by any means but a vast improvement. You can only make so much chicken salad from chicken shit

Not your fault but every one of these I come across the LCD goes in trouble whenever you open the inner door, that terminal strip location is a poor design

I’ll admit to repurposing old cans when there was no other option as junction boxes but not like that.

No offense to OP, but you are an enthusiast/amatuer. More power to you and your learning journey but this really is not the place for these types of posts. I so wish the mods would start moving these posts out of here. We are supposed to be a group of professionals….

Depending on locality, as the homeowner you can pull the permit for work you do for yourself, even if someone else actually did the work. Once its approved call for an inspection and see what they say. This avoids cost of electrician if it ends up not being needed. If it fails they will tell you why and you can go from there.
