Default Wiring a PIR

Thomarse wrote:
Hi,

I have put up an external light and a standard switch. I've bought a
PIR and want to wire it up so that either the PIR or the standard
switch can switch the light on.

The PIR wires are Brown Blue and Red, but I am not sure how to wire
this in. The wiring diagram states the following:

Brown - to Input
Blue (N) - to nothing
Red (O) - connecting with load

Any help would be gratefully recieved!


If this is your "normal" standalone PIR, then the brown and blue are
used for permanent live and neutral to the PIR, and the red is the
switched output.

So take a live in to the switch and the PIR brown, take the red and
connect it to the other side of the switch and one side of the lamp.
Take the neutral in and connect to the blue on the PIT and then the
other side of the lamp.
