RE: Re: X10 wired PIR

["Harry Hendriks" <hja_hendriks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patric,
Could you elaborate more on your suggestion for disabling the alarm
false-trigger?
Does it mean that I have to change something in the electronic circuits or
can I do this on the connections?
What is the effect/speed improvement in a practical situation?
I use simple wired PIR's, also equiped with 'trip contacts' preventing
unauthorised opening.
With kind greetings
Harry Hendriks
