Pir And Heat Sources?

[DamienGiles]

Hello

I'm planning to get an alarm system installed.. one question that someone might be able to help with is:

In one of our rooms, we have some server equipment that goes from cold to hot (very hot) in a short period of time.

Also in the room is the loft hatch - we have the vent from the server rack going through a whole in the loft hatch to help with the heat.

Although the equipment doesn't move - will a PIR in this room be a problem?

Will a "Pet friendly" PIR help if this is a problem? - as our other option is to suggest a door contact switch on the roof hatch which isn't ideal.

Thanks,

Alex

Dual-technology sensor would be better than a 'pet-friendly' or any pir's.

I agree a decent dualtec or texecom do an extreme temperature pir, I fit one in a kebab shop (yay free kebabs) that covers the ovens and never had a problem
