Hi there so today at work i was asked to add on a new pir onto a lighting circuit that already had 7 6ft fluerescent lights onto it and also an existing pir..i took a 4 core 1.5 from the old pir and brought it to the new one.. when i had everything connected in and the front part of the pir on (one of the pins types) and energised the circuit it tripped out straight away. when i had pull the front part of the pir out and turned the circuit back on it worked fine but once i tried to put the front of the pir back on it continued to trip.. it is currently protected by a B10 breaker any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
