why do you have a diagram as PDF? surely it would be better as jpeg or similar

I thought you were going to say why do you have a diagram for parallel PIR's to same load? Just common all the Sw Lives together then to the load surely.

OK see if this works

 

[Electroglow]

think that has worked.. i can see it cheers...

any one wired it like that b4

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

That will work but i have never bothered with the two way switch. just connect the PIR sensor SL to the light and have a one way switch as a over-ride

 

[Electroglow]

ye but i duno why i always like doing the over ride that way. save a bit of cable to

?

Just connect the SL to the top terminal and use a 1 way switch, Save some money on your switch

your way could use more cable depending where switch, light & PIR's are located...

there are about 14 lights and 2 sets of 2 PIRs. so i used that way to override all the lights. and i now have seen i have done it a hard way.. well harder. just wondered what u all thought of my way

 

[steptoe]

why is this not in the student section?

its a basic question asking how to do a basic thing,

ie, how do I connect a switch?

thats all a PIR is, a switch,

:C

 

[Electroglow]

not really asking how to do it. as my diagram suggest i can do it. i was asking if any one has done it like that. as i no there are different ways of wiring over ride and pir switches

 

[Adrian]

how would you isolate the lights for maintenance I would use a mid position switch

 

[Steve3948]

Same way you would isolate any other light in your house.

erm what about the missing neutral in the pir or am i clutching at straws again :coat

Do you really think he would forget to wire a neutral to the PIR's?!

Only if you mentioned its missing at the light also ;

 

[ProDave]

Only if you mentioned its missing at the light also ;

But his drawing DOES show neutral to the light.It doesn't show any CPC though. :coat

Quite right, i need to go and scrub the eyeballs. Been drilling downlight holes all afternoon.
