PIR light operation in Disabled Toilet

[Piratepete]

Hi Guys
An architect has specified PIR control of the light and ventilation fan in a public Disabled Loo.
Is this permitted? Is it sensible? If so, I guess there has to be an isolation switch somewhere.
I'd be grateful for any guidance on this subject and recommendations for a suitable sensor.

Cheers!

Pete

Yes it is permitted and no there doesn't need to be an isolation point just the breaker there done like that in the buildings I work in the lights will stay on 15 minutes from last detection works well

I'll need a fan switch though?

Put the feed to the toilet lighting circuit through a FCU above toilet door, then to PIR then to light with 3 core &earth and then to fan isolator mounted on wall or by fan.

PIR in a disabled toilet? Are they supposed to do a tap dance while sat on the bog?

Just set the timer to a good long time. How long do you need Tony?

Someone really hasn't thought about the needs of the disabled.

Just set it to 6seconds....which is the minimum time ive ever seen for a PIR ( anyone seen lower ? )

They'll have to gangnam style whilst on the toilet to keep the light on...Yes, i realise im nasty.

However, im sure ive seen timeguard PIR's that can be used as a straight forward switch if need be....they're expensive i think, but maybe an option.
