PIR Placement advise

[malfoy]

Hi, I'm planning to replace an old 4 zone alarm and want to extend coverage for the gound floor. So I'll end up with a PIR on the landing and 5 downstairs plus two door contacts. Is the placement on the plan attached OK?

Nice floor plan. Use software for it?

Study to garage door contact needs to be on the opening side, but I assume it's for illustration only?

Yes, just on the illustration. It's actually on the opening side. Thanks.

Best to have PIRs facing into the room away from the windows where possible.

So ideally need to be in the opposite corners, but imagine it would be fine.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for the new PIRs. Unfortunately it'll be difficult to move the old ones because of the house layout (back part of the house is an an extension). But having said that, I've not had an issues in the last 10years with them.

Also have a good read of the PIR manual and make sure your mounting heights and settings are correct before fitting.
