This seminar provides discussion around the importance and relevance of fire stopping cable pathways and offers solutions to the issues surrounding cable moves, adds and changes. It also offers an overview of the complex nature of fire safety responsibility and demonstrates how to achieve successful fire protection and containment whilst breaking the cycle of non-conformance.

The object of this presentation is to aid interpretation of the requirements to which busbar trunking systems are designed, safely installed and used in service. Principally these requirements are detailed in BS EN 61439-6,2012. The presentation seeks to provide an understanding of the standard, accompanied by some typical examples of busbar trunking system applications.

Seminar provides an overview and summary to Specifiers and Installers of Overhead Cable Management Systems. Topic areas include the different types available, selection of material and finish suitable to the location and environment, good design and specification practice.

Seminar provides an overview and summary to Specifiers and Installers of Cable Management Floor Systems, providing guidance on selecting the most suitable system for a specific project. Topic areas discussed include how the type of floor determines system type, different trunking options, flexible floor options and good specification and installation practice.

Seminar gives an introduction to the benefits and varying types of metallic trunking and best practice guidance on specification, design and installation, together with an update on relevant regulations and standards.

This presentation explores the concept of a PAYG (Pay as you Grow) business model in relation to the implementation of modular UPS. The seminar considers the available technologies and explores the advantages and the limitations whilst also taking into account relevant design considerations. The seminar considers industry drivers and a detailed case study is also presented.

This presentation explores the Tier Ratings of Resilience as defined by the Uptime Institute and examines how UPSs can be incorporated into these guidelines. The seminar also examines additional considerations in relation to Synchronising Parallel UPS and Generator Interfacing. Industry drivers are discussed and a detailed case study is also presented.

This presentation gives an overview and summary to specifiers and installers of lighting control equipment for offices, schools and hospitals. The seminar considers types and methods of control, including a look at technical guidance and industry drivers. Monitoring and maintenance are also considered along with relevant Regulations and Standards.

With the safety of buildings becoming a key priority for all those involved in the construction industry driven by the recent Building Safety Act 2022, requirements for proven competency along with the need for relevant, accurate and accessible fire safety information as required by BS8644-1,2022, the demand for evidential cable management fire testing has grown. This CPD explores the current UK standards landscape that applies to Cable Management Systems which don't currently require any fire testing, and offers an alternative standard as a solution to those looking for reassurance that their installations meet the requirements of both BS7671,2019 and BS8519,2020.

Seminar provides an overview of the issues Specifiers of door entry systems need to consider when designing these kind of security installations. The presentation includes a checklist of design issues and potential technical solutions covering audio, visual and automated systems.

This presentation aims to provide a guide to specifying Central Power Supply Systems (CPSS). Providing an overview of the BS EN 50171 standard and examining market factors key to the selection of the correct product we look at technologies where to use CPSS and provide details relating to the links with other relevant standards. Case studies then provide further context to the subject matter.

This new 'technically' based CPD presentation, covering CM systems, is aimed at more experienced engineers with a greater depth of knowledge over the subject matter. The presentation includes, Introduction, Installation of the system, Installation of the cable, Environment, Regulations and Standards, Summary, Further Learning and Q&A.

A multi-tenant data centre (MTDC), also known as a colocation data centre, is a facility where multiple organizations can rent space to house their IT infrastructure. Recognising and understanding the challenges and the possible solutions for cooling MTDCs is key to maximising the efficiency of the data centre. This presentation looks at various aspects for consideration, such as industry drivers, increased demand, efficient cooling and overall data centre performance.

This presentation offers an overview and summary, to specifiers and contractors involved in the design and specification of grouped living alarm and communication systems, of the digital switchover and offers advice and guidance to understand what needs to be done now, to ensure systems will operate after the switchover.

Understanding how a UPS is to be implemented and operated is essential, however the majority of UPS are designed to have similar characteristics. The “detail” in many specifications is not necessarily related to required performance but more a mechanism to either suggest or exclude particular machines. Some features outlined in specifications are critical to local regulations or legislation and should be highlighted as such, this will quickly enable all parties to understand whether a vendor is in a position to proceed with an offer. This presentation covers the important considerations of UPS and will be an essential guide in furthering knowledge and understanding.
