Hi guys, new to the forum, electrician two years out of my time and still learning!

Im on a site 2nd fixing at the moment, unfortunately it's builders who have 1st fixed, the problem is;

3 bathrooms, 3 PIR, 3 lights, 1 fan, same circuit, I told them that where they've taken a s/w live from
each bathroom, that at the fan isolator that the joined s/w lives will mean that any PIR activated will light up all bathrooms! Lo and behold it has.

I am trying to think of a solution, would a contactor on each s/w love solve my problems?
I've not had much experience with contractors or relay's and I was wondering if anyone could help me out?


Cheers
 
Use 2 channel pir's

Tell the builders to sort their wiring out? Who exactly will be signing off this job - I know I wouldn't be issuing a cert for a job I hadn't wired.
