Title: Removing PIR
Post by wozzy on Aug 15^th, 2018, 5:27pm

Well not exactly removing i just dont want it to trigger a alarm as im intending on leaving a cat in the room, and i have little knowledge of these systems.

Its a menvier panel and i have the user code and nothing else, besides some installation record. the Zone on the paperwork is end of line does that mean i cant just chuck both alarm (if thats what you call them) in a NC terminal at the detector?

Even if it is end of line wiring, just leave everything in the same terminals but add a link across the NC contacts in the PIR.

If it's temporary perhaps you could just cover the PIR sensor with something opaque to IR. Tin foil perhaps?
