DVA and the selector barrel

[Tomcakes]

What's up with the good old pull-the-plug-out remedy?

What, on a fire alarm system?!!

To go into slightly more detail, the station supervisor was doing a call point test for some sound acoustic test engineers - initially the reset key got jammed in the device. The key eventually came out but the device did not re-set. The supervisor made further attempts to re-set the device, but was unable to get the reset key to go back in.

Other LUL staff are probably quite rightly thinking that it can't be that hard to re-set a call point. Trouble is, as 'upinthesky' (and probably 'chrish' too) can confirm, Earls Court and Fulham Broadway have a different reset key to the rest of LUL ( ) - it's more like a pointy prong that you poke into a hole.........it's the silliest design I've seen and has failed to work properly many times.

Yeah, stupid things... never had to use one whilst there, but it did poke me almost every time I tried to get my keys out of my pocket! Mine was completely bent after just a month as well.. so probably wouldn't have worked properly... maybe this is one of the issues!
