ian.cant Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I have to install a detector in a massive conservatory, can i use PIR or will this give false alarms? It may or may not depending on the make and set up, most would advise a dual tec facing back in towards the house not pointing outside as the micro wave will penetrate the glass.

rob walton Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Thanks. There is not really a suitable location for facing back into the house(strange shape) , are the any other devices available such as ultrasonic?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian.cant Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 You can still have it facing out over but it means set up could be more crucial. As for U/sonics, never seen one for years i doubt you can still get them these days (they aint mentioned in my catalogue) but even they had theyre problems. Stick with a D/Tec but be carefull where you sight it and very carefull with the range set up, read the manual and follow the instructions perfectly.

norman Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Aritech DD335 PIR and ultrasonic combined, cracking detector 12m x 12m, but not widely available. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black knight Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Personally i don,t like dual tecs in conservatorys. The microwave side and glass don,t go together and the 'cheapo' pir element inside dual tecs soon go into alarm when the conservatory get warm.I prefer to fit a good quality Quad sensor - optex used to do one but i,m a bit out of date with whats available now paul Yep, still do.Optex FX50SQ Or go for an ARITECH DD325 (i think thats the no.!) But to be honest your installer should have this information to hand? try looking at these paul THE BLACK KNIGHT "Any comments / opinions posted are my opinion only and do not represent those of my employer or Company."
