can anyone recommend

[mackers]

hi all ,
anyone recommed a good make 360 degree PIR for internal corridors to swich cfl,
pretty sceptical with pir,s as all seem to be rubbish!

there to replace some timegaurd slv 360 e , even the tech guy at timegaurd said these where terrible and they had stopped making that model !

so any with proven track record ie fitted for over a year without problems

thanks in advance:waving:

you've got rubbish lamps , so why not fit a rubbish PIR?

sound ill tell customer that, so not only does he after change all the pir,s but now he'll after change every light fitting on the 17 storey building!

Just overcook the rating of the PIR so that it can take plenty of current over the recommended rating and hope.
Most PIRs do not really like CFLs though I don't know why.
Steinel are fairly cheap and seem to be OK.
Normally I would rate anything from TimeGuard they seem to do the useful things and at a reasonable price, surprised you find there are problems.

forgot to add pir's switching contactor so load not a issue!

I second Steinel, a bit more than average but top quailty

one thing you may need to do with the PIRs switching cvontactors , is to fit a capacitor across the contactor coil. this fools the PIR into thinking it's not an inductive load.

The timeguard ones are absolute crap...fitted around 15 on a job and over around 6 months they all stopped working, even some that where just swtiching a contactor.

Danlers or Robus we use and I'd recommend...

Oh dear, I've fitted 50+ in the past year or so....
