I have completed a replacment of my old Pyronix alarm system to a new feature packed Pyronix Euro 64 v10 with th Keypad Eur-064. I have managed to configure all 8 onboard zones (imputs), the bell & the keypad. The only issue I am facing is that I now wish to add a PIR using one of the 2 Keypad...

Hi all, New member here and in dire need of help with my alarm. I have set it all up myself and has been working perfectly fine for years, however I now have the added complexity of having a dog in the house.... When we leave her alone in the house (downstairs kitchen and lounge have PIRS) she...

I`m doing a bit or renovation and I have 100mm of concrete sitting directly on soil. Removing it to poor a proper concrete and then 200mm insulation would have a massive cost impact and this is not feasible. I was thinking to poor 30mm or screed to level up all ground floor and then 18mm floor...

Briefly, just fitted a outside lantern for my aunt. Replaced the shoddy one which hadn't been working for years. Turned off the mains as the cable goes to a junction box and then main box. Connected L, N and earth. Secured the lantern then put the main electric back. Light bulb lit up but...

Premier Elite 88 Premier Elite AMQD Having an intermittent problem with arming. It seems to be linked to the zone that looks towards the keypad and one of the entrance doors. The zone in question is set to Guard/Access. Any ideas why this setup could be causing the arming problems? Thanks

Hello there, first of all this forum and its threads are very helpful, well done to all contributing! So, i need your help on setting up a wired PIR for my Texecom Premier Elite 64 wireless. The wireless zones are working perfectly, but a month or so, i am trying to connect a wired PIR in the...

Hi, I have an Veritas 8 alarm system that is less than a year old, when trying to set the alarm this will not set as the panel shows PIR 4 (living room) lit up. On checking it it seems that this PIR is frozen, the red led is constantly on I have made sure that there is nothing in the path that...

Hi All I have just purchased a bungalow which doesn't have a alarm. I have purchased a Yale SR-320 Smart Alarm. It comes with 2 PIR and 1 door sensor. I know I need to purchase more door sensors as we have 3 points of entry but would like to know the best place to add the PIR and possibly need...

Recently inherited a Texecom Premier Elite 48 Metal box version... with some zone expanders and two keypads. I'm wanted to fit a simple system to my house, around 4 pirs (ground floor) and front and back door contacts. I wondered if it's a good idea to have one keypad near the entrance...

Hi, Sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn’t find anything. I recently bought a Yale smart alarm and started to install it today. The door sensors all work fine, when I open the doors it sets the alarm of if it is armed. The PIR sensors though, just rarely seem to detect...

Hi. I'm decorating at the moment so need to open the pir's and unscrew from the wall.....to get at the old wallpaper behind it and put up the new. I'm scared to undo the pir in case my alarm goes off and I cannot stop it. Is it safe to unscrew it? Even if I can just disable it so it doesn't...

Hi, New to the forums. Trying, and failing, to find a simple direct-equivalent replacement for an old outside light, with a PIR, that also has a manual switched override. So when switch is "off" then light is controlled by PIR, and when switch is "on" then light is permanently on. The PIR...

Hi, We have a Honyewell Accenta G4 system setup in our house with control panel, 6 x PIR and 3 x door contacts. A few months ago we were having occasional issues of two of the PIRs setting off the alarm with a tamper fault. I checked ALL of the wiring on both the PIR ends and the Control Panel...

Hi there, I have an outside light that lights via a PIR. Due to it's location we don't get any of the light on the front door. I thought about mounting another PIR light and feeding it from the existing lights supply. (see photo). The existing light is mounted on the outside wall of a...

About 12 months ago I fitted a Texecom Premier Elite wireless system. The system commissioned without any problems and walk test was fine. The system consists of 6 PIR's, 4 Dual and 2 Quads. Since then I have had 4 false alarms, all on the Quad PIR's . The first 2 (about 2 months apart was on...

Hi, this is my first post and I admit, I have not read the rules yet, so please go easy on me. I am not a qualified electrician but come from a science background so I know the basics quite well. Recently, I replaced an old PIR Bulk Head with a new PIR Bulk Head. While replacing the light, I...

I'm specifically referring to the Pyronix KX15DQ PIR. It's this... When some sort of detection event occurs, the indicator light flashes. There are two flash types. 1. A long steady on, which I assume is a full detection event of something wandering around in front of the sensor. 2. There...

I've done a search for "PIR" and there are no recommendation threads for the last 2 years, so perhaps it's time to ask again. Technology changes so rapidly... Is there a common internal wired PIR detector that is recommended? I'd like to exclude pet tolerant varieties. Other than that...

I purchased 4 of these (2 for each house) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Floodlight-Security-Outdoor-Waterproof-AC85-265V/dp/B00YCDU3I0/ref=pd_sim_sbs_201_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YXDWDPV1HGS8Q4V3YX4B i got the 50w versions. All of which have faulty/poor PIR's. To the point of if i wave my hand in...

I have had my Pyronix enforcer HomeControl+ system for about 14 months now and am just wondering how often do you professional people change the battery's in the PIR's/Door sensors? I have the PIR's LED's disabled, although would not expect that to make any significant difference to the battery...
