Pir sensors outdoor lights help please

[Goldygoldy]

Hello all

i installed some post and spike lighting for a client switched via a 360 degree PIR controlled by an outdoor light switch

now the clients wants to be able to flick a switch so his outside lights can over ride the sensor and remain illuminated until he switches them off

then to be able to flick a switch if he wants the lights to illuminate by the pir


I have ran a permenantt feed to the pir from the switch and then switch wire from the pir to the lights

thanks in asvance

Also the pir I have installed can't be over ridded and he also doesn't want to have to flick a switch a numerous amount of times to get the lights on

read the instructions for the PIR. most will do this by momentarily flicking the switch off/on once or twice.

 

[telectrix]

then you'll need to replace the feed to the PIR with 3 core/E.

Think its like Tele said, 3Core/E and could have a 1P2T switch were one side to the sensor and the other side going to the sensor but bypassing it.

 

[Goldygoldy]

Thanks for replys

the pir I have you can't over ride I even rang the manufacturer

sorry my poor explanation I do have a 3 core and earth swa at the pir

where could I get a 1p2t outdoor switch from?

 

[Goldygoldy]

Maybe a silly question would I need two supply to the fitting?

just parallel a switch to the pir job done, a twin will do the job, can you get a twin from the PIR to the switch position?

No no I can't unfortunately all the swa cables have been buried under ground

 

[Guest77]

Well you have had it then.

This might get you out of jail....

1P2T switch is the same you would use on two way lighting
1P meaning one switch, 2T mean two positions you come out of

 

[Leesparkykent]

On another thought have you used 3core swa? If you have then could you not use the armour as the cpc and use the spare core as your switch.

An off delay timer relay, a retractive break switch and a latching relay could solve the problem, look lovely beside the PIR.
