PIR Cover removal

[lloyda]

Can someone advise how I remove the cover of the PIR in the photo? I guess that the cover is prised off, but before getting too carried away with a large screwdriver want to make sure I'm not going to do any serious damage. (The wall is being replastered, and I want to loosen the PIR in preparation. After all the work has been done I will replace it, but I want it working for now.)

Thanks in advance

It looks like an old Aritech and yes they just prise off. (iirc)

Take the opportunity to change it for a new smaller one.

Thanks both. As Joe-90 correctly guessed, it is an Aritech unit, and after the plastering is complete, I will be having it replaced with a smaller, more up to date one. I had not expected this one to be held up by 2 x No. 8 1.5" screws. No chance of that one falling down!
