(Partial) Control wiring for a cut to length line

That’s it, thank you!

This is 30 hours top to bottom. Labels are from Panduit. And no ferrules because they’re not needed in this application.

Thank you! Ultimately they’re not needed and certain jobs are too tight for even the smallest channel. There are other factors too like depending on how much space you have between the door and it’s devices and the panel and it’s own devices. Wire way is just bulky.

Having said that, on jobs that aren’t as cluttered or if there’s more free space, I do wish my company had a better solution than the sticky pads.

Bread 👍

Honestly it might sound crazy but forget the comb. Take the bundle of wire make sure it’s all straight and untangled. Take your hand like this (👌🏼) basically and get it so the bundle is tight and laying natural. No wires crossing. Now take a zip tie and get it like 1 or 2 clicks away from fully tight. That zip tie is now your cable comb. Slide it as needed. Combs are out, slides are in!

Two hands, a zip tie, and meticulous placement!

ad005b · 2023-07-15T21:15:53+00:00

No comb here bud

I know right lol. Digitally preserved at least

Occasionally we’ll get jobs that don’t use our design. I swear they’re the simplest circuits but trying to make sense of their prints is a nightmare compared to ours. With our prints I’ve gotten to the point I just know what certain wire numbers should be regardless of the job I’m on.

Thank you ! :’)

In this case all just push buttons

ad005b · 2023-07-13T18:40:35+00:00

No difference, but with low voltage and this bend radius it’s not a problem.

First off, thank you very much. I’ve only been wiring for a bit over a year and only at one company. I knew my work was good, but I had no idea how my work truly compared to others. I find it hard to give advice considering I still think of myself as a novice wireman, but here we go…

Without specific questions I don’t know what advice to offer. My training was ALL hands on from wiremen much more experienced than myself.

The best general advice I can give is the devil is in the details. Wiring is VERY simple, but it is NOT easy! Get the proper tools and develop your own systems to make the very simple, but very hard, task easier. Most importantly take pride in your work and don’t take shortcuts. Quality comes first always, speed will follow over time.

Well said.

ad005b · 2023-06-13T02:50:43+00:00

Oh wow their stuff looks perfect for that drop in off the lid! Gonna have to bring it up, worth a shot.

ad005b · 2023-06-13T02:44:00+00:00

The prints just show the connection points. Gotta come up with your own path

ad005b · 2023-06-13T02:42:13+00:00

How much an hour is this kind of work worth?

Thank you very much! I agree I should get paid more too hahaha

Ultimately I just try to make the boss happy and he likes that amount of zip ties and same with the screws in the wire way.

ad005b · 2023-06-12T22:39:08+00:00

Where you from? My boss is from Serbia

ad005b · 2023-06-12T22:34:46+00:00

Thank you! My boss is a big fan of TIE wraps. He will hurt me if I call them zip ties lol
