Thread: How do i wire this pir ?

Tweet

]I bought this pir motion sensor to use as a trigger with my nerve center
there are 3 wires to connect to,
Red,blue and brown



My question is how would i wire the pir to the nerve center ?

Thanks

phil

Who is the manufacturer? Are there any markings on the terminal strip coming in? Maybe a picture showing more of the the sensor would help in order to see where the wires go . My 1st thought is red hot ,blue nuetral and brown to the output. BUT I would not try that without seeing it better and doing more research on it.

Thanks for the reply bfjou812

The manufacturer is Blackspur, there are no markings on the terminal strips, but i know that the brown wire is live and the blue is neutral.

this picture shows the whole sensor, you can see that the wires just dissapear into the sensor itself




Thanks once again

No one else

Surely someone out there has used a pir like this before ????

When you say that the brown is live do you mean when the sensor is activated? If that is the case then the red is the hot , so the red would be hot blue neutral from the power source. brown would be hot to the prop and blue neutral to the prop. The brown will be the one that is controlled by the timer . Does that make sense ?

I beleive so yes.

Yeh that seems to make sense, so there would only be two wires coming from the power source ?

thanks phil

So I've have wired the pir up but it seems that the timer or the pir itself is broken

the light turns on but doesn't switch off

thanks for your help bfjou812
