Homevision and PIR's



Hello folks,
 
 
Just in case you remember my name from a previous posting, I was the chap having some trouble in deciding whether to go for something like homeseer/cm12u or homevision - well I went for homevision and so far I haven't really done much with it - x10 stuff can be quite expensive to accumulate!
 
Any way, my first project is to do the "movement in the hall - lights on" thing and I heard some comment that the wireless X10 PIR/transceiver set up presents a bit of a lag in terms of response times - is this true? To cut a long story short and since I have HV with all of it IO capabilities I bought a relatively inexpensive response systems wired PIR - trouble is there are no installation guide and I'm a bit of an electronics novice - please please help.
 
The PIR is a 12v unit so I found a 12v PSU and connected it the appropriate terminals - its seems to flash when there's movement so I guess so far so good. I was assuming that I should now connect the N/C terminals to port B on the HV to pin and ground - Am I right - HV''s a bit pricey and I don't want to try it and fry it. Any help appreciated.
 
Malcolm.
