Hi
This is a followup to my previous thread that was locked by the mods due to a couple of users arguing and getting abusive.

Anyway. If the two PIR's which are not working 100% are connected on the same 8 core cable, how are these wired up? Given there are normally 6 cores to each PIR, how are two PIR's wired with one 8 core cable?
Basically I think I have managed to put a screw through the return wires to the panel. The PIR's are still getting power and the tamper circuit has not been tripped. I spoke to the guy who commissioned the alarm (the builder installed all the cables, he just connected the panel) and he said I could take out the tamper circuit and swap the return wires with the tamper at both ends. This will cure the problem, although I will no longer have the tamper protection.
If 2 PIR's are on the one cable, are the tamper wires shared? If so, I don't think I can do as he suggests??
