Old Pir, Need Advice

[mogden]

Guys,

What if I replace the PIR's and the controller, as suggested. I would still have to use my 4 wire low voltage cables as replacing them with mains is not an option. Are these light control units still available?

Thanks.

yes - replace the lot with GJD stuff (sensors and controller)

yes, you could use say a gjd opal xl sensor and a sapphire controller,

you could go voltek but they dont make a 240v keypad interface. Most proper lighting is all 12v, and the switching and 240v bit is fitted elsewhere. As yours is a 240v controller you need a sapphire or emerald.

Thanks for the swift reply. Ironically the link you've suggested is the only device I could find when I did a search. Someone somewhere suggested GJD products where my only option.

Thanks again.

i would say to you consider this first,

for performance id stick with gjd. Also its rare that the light and the sensor are in their best positions when mounted together. I always like the light to be higher and the sensors at 2.4m

very true, but why depends on the layout and performance required if it's a bungalow, 1st floor flat - mansion what ever, offering the alternatives for concideration seemed to me a good idea, the o/p has obsolete kit which he could fit a GJD head to and will work - but for how long? relays in the controller wil be near their sell by date, lamp housings corroded as most do, so a realistic budget often overules ideals.

I think someone suggested changing both ends arf. Wouldnt cost much for the equipment and it would be a damn site better than any 'combined' unit but i do see your point
