arfur mo Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 when you buy your pir's you should seek the advice of the vendor, also read the enclosed pamphlet (as boring as it is - i know). we can't advise you on actual positioning as we do not know what obstructions are present or if you have an item of high value which is not protected, we could be held legally liable under 'duty of care' as a 'designer', if you subsequently suffered a lose even though we have not received a penny. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Thanks I can`t tell you what to do but I can tell you whats wrong with your ideas so far 1 hall pir - are you having a door contact too ? if so the pir needs to NOT be above the door 2 lounge - pir wants to be in a corner 3 dining / kitchen - ditto 4 lounge - I assume the panel is in the lounge cause its next to the fuseboard ? if thats your plan you will need a sparky to certify the connection 5 you aint got an upstairs ? 6 you aint got any bells on it ( bit important too they are ) Like Arfur says if someone specs it without a full R/A then its there //.B.W.F.// in the vice if it all goes wrong let us see how you get on Angus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateurandy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 you aint got an upstairs ? No stairs shown.... On a more serious point, is that a patio door in the back room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateurandy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 andy, dont start about contacts and hidding cables on pvc doors!LOL, only joking mate Don't spoil my fun! Seriously though, it looks a rather wide back door and you guys are always doubtful about detectors pointing at patio doors which looks like the situation here! Though someone else asked was it a conservatory, which would be even worse...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricool Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 1 hall pir - are you having a door contact too ? if so the pir needs to NOT be above the door was thinking about not having a door contact, was going to have it set on timer exit delay...if thats possible/makes sense.. 2 lounge - pir wants to be in a corner wanted pir to cover window and panel, also a little bit hidden in that corner - nice room with traditional cornicing etc... don't want a pir in main corner - will look a bit naff, beside hall will be covered (entrance to room).... 3 dining / kitchen - ditto 4 lounge - I assume the panel is in the lounge cause its next to the fuseboard ? if thats your plan you will need a sparky to certify the connection yeah next to fuseboard, new fuseboard already installed and certified... 5 you aint got an upstairs ? forgot about the stairs...now detailed, not worried about upstairs as very difficult to gain access to upstairs from outside... 6 you aint got any bells on it ( bit important too they are ) bell will be on rear, with dummy on side Like Arfur says if someone specs it without a full R/A then its there //.B.W.F.// in the vice if it all goes wrong what are the main things to look for when R/A It is patio on the back, will use DT pir for kitchen , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
