Actionable Recommendation | Reasoning |
|---|---|
Sanity Test | Doing a rigorous visual inspection after assembly of your electric setup is never going to hurt. It can help prevent accidents like this happening in the future and is very low risk with high reward, given that it is done with proper care. |
Get a second pair of eyes | Asking a friend to verify the wiring setup can be helpful, as they are likely to be more stringent with checking, especially if they were not the ones to setup the system with you. |
Store fully setup systems together | Houston’s VTX system had been setup and verified to be working 2 weeks prior. However, since then, the specific wires being used are unable to be found, which caused the need for different wires to be used in the first place. Ensuring that fully setup systems are stored properly will make sure that future users of the system have less verification to do. |
Consider usage of a DMM to verify long wires with lots of extensions | Where extensions and long wires are used, consider using a DMM to easily verify wiring. |
