PIR Switching

[joel89]

I've got lights under my extension, I want to switch from either end with 2 PIrs can I just parallel the switch lives from either PIR or can you only have one PIR... Ps im in an industrail spark not a house basher

You're either an electrician or your not. Surely you can Google the PIR you have in mind and decipher the wiring diagram?!

Yes, you can parallel them up.

No need I know how to wire them just asking if you can parralel as many PIRs as you want to still switch the same lights... I deal with PLC & motor control not ring, light, cooker........ Same old ****...

Yes you can assuming all the same circuit of course, just pretend your sticking them on the factory then its in your comfort zone

So you wire control panels yet you seem to be struggling with a couple of PIRs??

Come on mate, pull the other one

Like the others have said Joel, Yes you can parallel them.

When I did it I was a little concerned that that particular PIR might not like it as I had been told (by a much more experienced person than myself) that some cheaper varieties of PIR do not like to be back fed (They dont like it up em Mr Mainwaring!!), but I have used 2 cheapies now (The £10 ones from screwfix and Toolstation) and both were fine.

(Ignore the timer bit)
