Would you recommend using Pyronix 360° (or any other 360° PIR) ceiling mounted PIR

in kitchen / dinining room as per my attached sketch here.

I am very limited to positions where I could mount normal PIR ie. 2 corners are facing big Patio door (2.5m wide) , corner next to patio door has high vertical radiator below and the last corner has very high kitchen cabinets below it.

In addition there will be a door contact on the Patio door.

No problem using a 360 where you've stated provide it doesn't have to conform to DD243 (overlapping areas). We use the Optex FX35

Lovely detectors the optex's, better than the Pyronix 360° any day.

The Pyronix 360° were a good detector, but have had several f/a problems with them recently.

I Don't know if it's a batch fault or a general manufacturing problem but I ended up taking them out and putting Rokonet RK-150T's (dual tech 360°) in instead.

NOPE

Optex FX360 or scantronic 45 360 dualtec only 9m range, Optex never had any problems

Thanks for your views lads!

Apology I was not very clear which particular model is in question - this is Pyronix Octopus Super 360° Interlocking Quad Element Digital Ceiling Mount PIR Detector - are you talking about F/A-s for this particular model?

Yup, that's the one,

I fitted a few of them to replace several older one's that had started f/a ing and sure enough, every other night since they were replaced they triggered, the previous octopus 360's had been in for years and had caused no problems at all, says a lot for the recent quality of the equipment...

I'll never fit another one, that's for sure.

Whilst on the topic with regard to Optex has anyone been using the MX40QZ. Got a couple in to try but have not fitted them yet
