Re: Combined Load on Vista 20P

["Mike" <reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well i may be pressing the envelope here. The room is aproximately 12x24 and
has a counter/peninsula that seperates it width wise.
Counter Height is 35" and ceiling height is 7' 7" the counter is 9' 2" away
from the corner where i was planning on mounting the motion.
The cat gets up on the counter frequently. The Bosch rep i spoke to
yesterday had some concern, but thought i could mask part of the sensor if
need be, and an electricin friend of mine was thinking i might be able to
angle the sensor pointing down somewhat to help with the counter issue.
Does this all sound like trouble to everyones ears?
