Wiring an external PIR

ericmark

As I illustrated in Post #14,
it is possible to install two (or more) sensors connected in parallel
to operate two (or more) lights in various positions
so that any resident or visitor "triggers" the "set" of lights at various points along the journey.

Of course, it is important that each sensor has an adequate and adjustable delay
to maintain the lighting until after the next "trigger point" is reached.

When you do install two (or more) PIR Sensors in parallel,
I recommend the installation of an Isolation/Connection switch for each Sensor,
as illustrated in the following diagram

which was included in Post #25 of

This enables the turning OFF of all but one sensor, so that its timing can be adjusted without any "interference" from other sensors - which may be triggered during this process.
