pir

We’ve recently bought a Victorian house. When I removed the skirting boards in preparation for having the walls of our master bedroom plastered, I found there is no insulation in-between the plasterboard and the external timber cladding. The first floor is our master bedroom. What options do I...

Hi, When the cavity is filled with 90mm PIR there is a 10mm remaining cavity but there are very few details of how this is finished. In this diagram a closure (circled in red) is shown but I cannot find any products to do this (Fire socks etc are all 65mm or bigger)- any suggestions on what...

Good morning, I've got a Texecom Premier Elite 88 with 4 Capture D20 PIRs, each wired as EOL on their own zone. They all have selectable resistors and are set to the Texecom setting (2k2/4k7). 3 of them work fine, but one of them goes to Tamper (>100K) when triggered (by both PIR and Microwave)...

Hi All, New here so hope this is the right place to ask. Our drawings for our extension show 140mm pir between studs and then 50mm over the entire wall then plasterboard on top. My question is what fixing should i be using for 50mm pir to the studs and then what fixings for the plasterboard...

Hello, I am renovating my 1950s bungalow with a suspended timber floor. As you can see in the photo I've stripped the floors down to the joists, with a composition of external cavity walls, timber joists, a small sleeper wall, and air vents. I'm shortly looking to get started putting everything...

I'd like to be able to schedule my outdoor lights to come for a few hours each evening but at a dimmed output. I'd like the lights to be on fully if the PIR is activated, at any time in the night. Could I wire a smart wifi switch in series with / feeding a dimmer and have a PIR in parallel to...

Good evening all, We have a small north-facing downstairs room which we have turned into an office. On one of the external walls, we’ve been considering putting up a few of the wooden acoustic panels for both aesthetic and acoustic reasons (the room turns into a bit of an echo chamber if on a...

Hi, I have seen some good articles on here so hopefully you can help me. I have just wired a new PIR to my Texecom Premier Elite 24 panel. The PIR I am wiring is a 'Premier Elite MR'. I copied the same wiring as my existing three PIRs but I am getting a Tamper error. I have seen some...

Hi - I have a recently wired house which has a porch light controlled by both a switch and a PIR sensor. I want to bypass the PIR sensor so as just to operate the light by the switch. I've looked in the junction box and there is a four core wire going to the box from the switch. Brown, Black...

Hello! i have these lights… https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BPY1ST75/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 …already in the garden and they do exactly what was required. But now I would really like these to work with a pir motion sensor. But as a diyer I din’t know if this is...

Afternoon. So on this rainy Saturday I thought I would get to the jobs I have been putting off :-) My garage has a pull cord with 2 red wires and an earth which I am presuming are live and switched live. I wanted to replace it with a PIR as the amount of time I spend in there is minimal and I...

Hi All, About to start a detached Victorian 3 bed renovation, as usual solid brick walls so no cavity to insulate. It has been a while since I've done some internal wall insulation, previously I've always used PIR on treated battens. I've spoken with Superfoil and they tell me their SF19+...

Hi all, Just in the process of constructing a new pre-fabbed shed. Planning to store some tools and a few other bits in there so want to make sure it's insulated. At the moment the shed has 40mm studs. I've picked up some Thermal foil insulation (acts as a vapor barrier), and was also planning...

Dear All, I wonder if anyone can help. Have had premier elite 24 with a one entry exit contact sensor, around 6 Prestige TD WIRED PIRs and one keypad. It's been problem free for 6-7 years. Now initially, in the night, the downstairs hallway PIR would set off the alarm every 4-6 months and I...

Hi, I have a Texecom Premier Elite 64. Its been working fine for the last couple of years but starting a few days ago, when I try to set the alarm - it fails to arm; keeps beeping; and I get a the following message on the keypad: Landing Motion Detctor There is no other "System Alert"...

hi folks, I'm after some recommendations / advice. basically I'm looking to find out if what i 'm looking for actually exists! the front door to our house is on the side of the house so to reach our front door you effectively have to walk up a lane between ours & next door I'd like to fit...

Hi Looking at replacing my floodlight with intergrated pir with a separate light and separate pir that will be located around the corner from the light. I also want to add an additional light with an intergrated pir to the same circuit and would like both lights to come on when either of the...

Hi Guys, I am about to put in my insulation between the rafters after my electrics first fix, The question being do I put the insulation in so they are flush to the bottom of the rafters or can I put them above my wiring as long as I leave my 50mm air ventilation gap? There will be 50mm pir...

Hi. Quick question: I have rigid insulation upstands around the concrete slab in my extension, and am using self-levelling compound on it before laying engineered wood. Do I trim the insulation and level over it (creating a thin cold bridge to the masonry/bifold frame) or level first and trim...
