Diameter 103, Depth 46mm • Multiple PIR Sensor Switching: A maximum of 8 PDRS1500N PIR sensors can be wired in parallel, to enable any detector to turn ON all the lights connected. (The total load must not exceed the lamp rating of a single PDRS1500N unit.
4. Selecting a location • The PIR has a number of detection zones at various horizontal and vertical angles as shown below. The detection zones are a representation of the subjects walking path and not of the detection angle. Effective Approach Path Ineffective Approach Path (ACROSS) (TOWARDS)
