PIR issues

[PodMan]

I have an issue with a Pyronix enforcer alarm kit.

 

The PIR that came is unable to detect in the rear room as there are bifolds and a kitchen which raises the temp too high. 

I'm looking for a Dual tech PIR and there are 3 available so which is best and easiest to install for a DIY application. FPKX15DT3 ,FPKX15DTAM3, Pyronix Enforcer KX12DT,.

cheers

So your wiring it?

DT isn't going to solve the issue if it's heat or a door in the way.

Hi 

Its a wireless system.  I think its a heat issue only as the glass doors and sun ramp up the hest in the room adding the fact that cooking was going on as well at the time it was very hot in there.  worked in the evening when the temp had reduced.

 

no doors or obstacles of any fashion in the way..

 

Cheers

Well all those DT's are wired.

I don't use Pyronix but wireless DT's are pretty rare, not all manufacturers have them.

Get rid pir and use perimeter protection in that area perhaps you maybe 3-4 contacts / shocks depending on how many opening you have

Hi again

Bought system from SW last week.  

 

KX12DQ-WE is wireless has digital temp compensation when room temp matches body temp and the KX12DT is wireless also and is dual tech so which is best.

What's the issue detection in a hot area or false alarms. I would always go for perimeter in a conservatory etc

[PodMan]

It’s not a conservatory it’s a heat issue in a large room that is a kitchen/Dining/sitting room with 6m bifolds floor to ceiling. Last Sunday with sun and cooking in the room through the doors the temp rise caused the device not to be able to detect a us moving. No false alarm just did not detect. Pyronix Tech said dual tech or similar.
