malfoy Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi, I'm planning to replace an old 4 zone alarm and want to extend coverage for the gound floor. So I'll end up with a PIR on the landing and 5 downstairs plus two door contacts. Is the placement on the plan attached OK?

norman Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Study to garage door contact needs to be on the opening side, but I assume it's for illustration only? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Best to have PIRs facing into the room away from the windows where possible. So ideally need to be in the opposite corners, but imagine it would be fine.

Unfortunately it'll be difficult to move the old ones because of the house layout (back part of the house is an an extension). But having said that, I've not had an issues in the last 10years with them.

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Also have a good read of the PIR manual and make sure your mounting heights and settings are correct before fitting.
