I need to move the PIR at the back of our house as a conservatory has been added since it was installed. It's a 20+ year old Racal Guardall and links up to a control unit that has ability to switch light on/off or via the PIR. As the cables are deep under laminate floor I was hoping to extend the telephone wire it uses and run it to a new PIR but of course the company no longer exists etc.

I think the wiring is for live, neutral and 2 triggers (see picture) . Does anyone know of a new PIR that would work please?

No chance ....if it's an original racalight system ....you might be able to fit a gjd sensor in its place ( would have to check in the files at work )
How many sensors do you have at the moment ?
Can you post a picture of the sensor and the controller ?
 
Didn't the original controller have a rocker switch with a slide switch for the timer
The module clipped in onto spring loaded prongs
But they worked will in the day
 
If it's the original one ! To be honest have seen one go into meltdown , Just a burnt patch on the wall !

Thanks for taking an interest. Ive attached a pic of the controller and it looks like yours. We just have one PIR and one light. I imagine technology has moved on in 20 years. Could you recommend a controller and PIR that a DIY'er like me could swap in to cover a patio about 10m x 4m?

best wishes, Chris
