Hi there,

I have recently installed 2 floodlights that are to be controlled by
an independant sensor. I am having major probs with the sensor
sensing the exhaust fumes every time the boiler is used.

The sensor is located approx 4ft from the flue outlet at a right angle
so te flue blows in the direction of the sensor. I have moved the
sensor higher up and today built a metal shield around the flue to
vent the fumes upwards all to no avail.
I can't really move the sensor elsewhere as it's current location is
the best spot for it to pickup any 'dancing bears' (from a previous
post!)

I would appreciate any suggestions on how this problem can be tackled.

Msny thanks

fit a condensig boiler....colder flue, less likly to triger pir. even
better is if you install a long flue at the same time as the boiler's fitted
to divert flue gases upwards rather than straight out.

downside is cost. but at least your less likly to be burguled and lower gas
bills!
