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

Naz
Are you sure that the PIR is being triggered by the hot flue gases or is it
being triggered by the boiler spark affecting the electronics of the PIR?
Just a thought! it may be worth eliminating before you take any expensive
action.
Otherwise use a different type of sensor, must be cheaper than a new boiler.
