Hi all
Been racking my brains all day... Had a customer replace a PIR after it was damaged by roofer. He says he replaced it like for lie and merely took one wire out and one in to knew PIR.
I thought he may have got the wires the wrong way so have had a look but does not seem to be the case. the PIR clicks but does not turn lights on. Could it be faulty PIR?
What we have is 2 outside lights, a switch within the kitchen and the PIR. Now im told when the switch is closed the lights turn on as required (which is does) and when the switch is open, the PIR takes over.
Whoever fitted these lights has made all connections in the loft in a junction box which i cannot get to with ease.
At the PIR i have a red wire, black wire and un insulated wire. It was connected Red to L, black to L1 and un insulated to N. This is when it clicks....
I have drawn a diagram to how i think it should be.. if so... would this work and could the PIR just be faulty *ignore the blue and brown wiring diag.*
