Smiths sensor switch

[suggett1976]

I have three outside lights and a PIR ( or maybe a busk controller)
It is all controlled by an old smiths sensor switch.

I'm no electrician but I know the basics. I will probably get my sparky to carry out the work.

What can I replace the controller with. It sits on a double socket box, has two twin and earth cables, I assume feed in and feed out, it also has a telephone like cable to the PIR

id like to change just the controller, with minimal damage, and would also fit onto the double socket box as its been plastered round by the previous owner.

Any ideas?a

No chance !

Unlikely to find a compatable replacement.

It works still does it ?

No. The mains terminals have come away from the PCB. I'm may have ago at re- soldering them.

You can replace the controller and the passive together with a GJD set-up.

These controllers will fit a double box/ pattress, but you would need to replace the passive as well for compatibility.

I changed an ancient lighting controller which had packed up for a new GJD one.

Not sure what make the old one was, but I thought I'd give the old PIRs a try before swapping them for GJD ones, and they operated the GJD stuff perfectly, so it's worth a try for nothing with the old PIRs still in place.

I've just removed the PCB inside the controller, and soldered the dry joints. It seems to be working ok.

Fingers crossed it may last a little longer.
Thanks for your help guys.
