Lectrician Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 What is the best detector to use in a swimming pool?? The pool has 3 windows, and some large patio doors, all are coverable from one PIR position. Email : martin@askthetrades.co.uk
Service Engineer Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 What range will the detector need to cover..? ........................................................ Dave Partridge (Romec Service Engineer)
Lectrician Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 Furthest window is only 5m away from the preposed PIR position. (its a large room, but all windows and doors are close together in one corner). I was concerned about flase alarms from the heat of the pool, and the heat curtains (heat blowing down all around the perimiter of the room). Also, hte condensaiton getting into the detector.

Lectrician Posted July 4, 2004 Author Posted July 4, 2004 Never come across a waterproof IP rated one. Do Dual Tec come in waterproof versions? Email : martin@askthetrades.co.uk

breff Posted July 4, 2004 Posted July 4, 2004 Crow do a PIR specially for swimming pools. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
Paul Giles Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Optex FX50 SQ is good. PG Security Systems Somerset SSAIB Certificate of Merit Installers. www.pgsecurity.co.uk
Guest Gimmick Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Don't fit anything . . . . it will never catch any sharks !!
Guest Andyp Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Failing that, how about active IR beams? Expensive but virtually false alarm proof if set up correctly. Andy
