Hello board members
I require your experience and advice regarding a used Bosch Compact Dishwasher model SKS51E18EU bought recently.

Hi guys, thanks for the add.
Alarm is quite a few years old, no problems until recently.
The PIR in my shed started playing up, couldn't find the problem so it was was omitted. After a couple of bikes and a boys 360 was stored I became worried, so started to check the wiring out.

Hello, sisters alarm had gone off and when I arrived to the led keypad the buttons were lit up but not the indicator lights. Swapped keypad for crystal lcd screen and there is a display but no reaction to attempting to reset the system. Took panel lid off and ALARM IS NOW GOING OFF. Any ideas?
Could someone give me a rundown of how I would go about disconnecting two PIR’s from an existing installation?
I’m knocking down a rotten wooden frame conservatory and a shed which have sensors in and will need to permanently remove the PIRs from the system.
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks
