Just thinking about how satisfactory testing can be carried out when circuits are activated via Quinetic wireless relays.
There seems to be a complete absence of information from Quinetic, either in their accompanying instructions or their website.
So, IR testing - is a Quinetic unit damaged by IR testing? At 1st glance one might discern that since the mains side is switched (and most likely electrically separated) from the wireless electronics then there should be no problem, but there is no info on this from the manufacturer so one cannot be certain.
Similarly, r12+r2 ‘dead’ testing to point of utilization - lampholder, whatever. Since the circuit will be de-energized and the relay will be ‘open’, then the final run of cable from the relay output to the lampholder will give an open circuit reading unless the input and output cables are disconnected from the relay and joined together.
I wonder how many EICRs will ‘fail’ an installation which such set-ups simply because the inspector has never seen a Quinetic set-up before?
Comments welcome.
