Hey Gareth,

Sorry to hear about the CBUS training, I've been trying to get on it as
wel=
l.. - although admittedly, I haven't actually done much about it since
befo=
re xmas...

Just before xmas I phoned around several bits of Clipsal/Schneider/whoever
=
the feck they are now to try to find out who was responsible for it and to
=
try & find out the training schedule for 2005...

Needless to say, after being passed around about 3 different people, all
of=
whom seemed to be completely clueless, I did manage to leave my contact de=
tails with the last person I spoke to, who assured me that someone would
le=
t me know when the 2005 schedule was published...

Obviously I've never heard another word since....

Does anybody have *any* information about CBUS training that might be
usefu=
l?....

Paul G.

No CBus because their training system seems to be a farce - cant get on=20
it. I'll only do it because of the grands worth of kit for =A3600.

And as for xAP - i still havnt a clue how it all works, or even the value.=
=20
Why would I put another stage in the way of a momentary switch ?
