Re: PIR Placement

["James Crossley" <jimmyc1163@xxxxxxxxx>]

The instruction manual that came with the alarm should have some
information
about placing PIRs. It should also give you info about the PIRs such as its
range.
Remember:
1. Do not position the detector facing a window or
where it is exposed to or facing direct sunlight.
PIR Movement Detectors are not suitable for use in
conservatories.
2. Do not position the detector where it is exposed to
draughts.
3. Do not position the detector directly above a heat
source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).
4. Where possible, mount the detector in the corner of
the room so that the logical path of an intruder would
cut across the fan detection pattern. PIR detectors
respond more effectively to movement across the
device than to movement directly towards it.
5. Do not position the detector in a position where it
is subject to excessive vibration.
