Parallel P.i.r's From Klik Box

[creamymuckmuck]

Could anyone give me any pointers on wiring parallel p.I.r's from individually fed klik (klds) boxes? I have pulled in the individual feeds an also pulled in a 3 core + earth with the intention of parallel linking the p.I.r's. A diagram would be nice....

The manufactures instructions with the PIR's should have a drawing how to connect an individual PIR. Parallel PIR's will just be wired in parallel. Assuming you want any PIR to operate the load. Otherwise if wired in series every PIR would need to be triggered simultaneously to energise the load. (Should this be in DIY?)  Do you understand the concept of wiring devices in parallel or series?

Well I thought that the last Klik boxes that I used had a PIR terminal set, or a link.

They definitely have a Loop terminal, so if no dedicated PIR terminals then just use this as normal

But there again what do I know? Apparently I am nearly amusing

Yes Doc, I do understand the concept of series and parallel, I'm just having a brain fart because the klik box has a set of flex connections which I will take the flex to but these connections are directly linked to the main connections, so my point is...black core (sheathed brown) of the linking cable goes to swA,then I guess N to N and obviously a cpc but does the brown go in the loop? You want to link the pir's not the klik boxes hmmmmm

Loop is loop

Is there not an Aux terminal?

 

[Sharpend]

Seems the posts too are on loop!

 

[steptoe]

are you using 4terminal KLIK boxes,? or basic 3terminal?

Its sounds like the multi klik type boxes, the terminals in the middle are earth, aux, loop and neutral. Then two switch options switch A and switch B.

At the side is where any flex cable is terminated and provides the option of PIR switching.

I am sure they all come with a wiring diagram.
