PIR & sky dish

[NJR]

Is a sky dish with in a few meters of a PIR likely to interfere with PIR sensor or functionality?

 

[MisterE]

Unlikely, as the Sky dish is designed to receive very low signals, it could block the PIR picking up anything in the line of site of the PIR (as in behind the dish).
What's happening? PIR activating when shouldn't or not activating when should?
How are they mounted in relation to each other?

Yes, you will get more programme repeats with that set up.

you could possibly configure it for the PIR to turn the dish off when emmeroids and witchenders is on, stop 'er indoors wathcing such crap.

The light is a BG 30w Led, it sit approx 1.5m above the sky dish. Nothing happens at all yet there is power there.

She's got juice 'n' nothing happens at all, as in - the brand new PIR's broken already!?!?!? Shock, that doesn't sound like wholesalers these days

Man it rifles me taking new stuff back to the wholesalers that should be decent clobber !

And how high is the sky dish as it can depend upon the range of the PIR?

Dare I suggest fitting a replacement?

 

[NJR]

Going to fit replacment this afternoon.

 

[telectrix]

what height are you fitting the PIR at? anything above 12ft. and your range is going to be pants.

 

[NJR]

Its about 10/11ft, maxium height for the light whilst still being effective is 5m according to the box. I doubt it though.
