pir

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...

Hi All, I have just moved into a house with a Gardtec 350 alarm system, and am trying to see if it is functional. It has four detectors and a panic button. The battery is flat, so I've got another one on it's way. There seems to be a problem with the tamper system, as the Tamper LED is...

I've reconfigured this old Scantronics 9800 system following a system reset, having been unused for a few years. On a walk test - 3 of the PIRs illuminate OK ... but they don't set off the sounder. These 3 circuits are setup as AL (normal alarm). The 4th PIR works fine - this is setup as an...

I need to replace 4 sensors on a zone that occasionally false activates. I have bought Honeywell Activ8 AM-DT anti mask quad PIR and Microwave sensors, but they appear to need 8 cores back to the panel. Because this is a retrofit, I only have 6 cores. The installation instructions refer to this...

Hi All, I have a Honeywell/ ADE G4 alarm system fitted. I recently attempted to replace 3 of 5 PIR's with pet tolerant units. The first unit fitted and worked without any issues. When I fitted the second unit all the power to the PIR circuit seemed to have failed. I have checked the 20mm...

Hey So I have been in the process of removing my Banham Euro 46 system (being a hybrid with about 30 sensors!!) and I am replacing it with the Texecom Elite 24 for endless reasons. I bench tested the system with a TMD15 and a Texecom Dual Tech detector and it worked fine! That was a few months...

Good morning, I am replacing an outside light (non PIR) with a new PIR one however, I am having a little difficulty with the differing electrical connections on the new light. The attached pictures should help, but what I want to know is what goes where? There is also a switch just inside the...
