Pet Immune PIR

touchdown77

I have a HKC alarm and asked the installer to fit Pyronix KX10DP pet immune PIR's
http://www.pyronix.com/kx10dp-digital-pet-immune-pir.php

however they are just rubbish, very slow to respond and different sensitivity depending on the room, but they are all very slow to detect. In one smaller room about 10' x 10' the pir fails to detect me as a walk over and back the full width of the room.

Unfortunately HKC don't do pet immune PIR's

Can anyone recommend pet PIR's that actually work?

(My dog is 10kg so not really that big)

Here this is what we use and have had no issues with:

I'd check if the PIR has been set up properly.
The bosch ones are quite good along with Siemens

How would I check this?

The options are pretty basic, jumpers to adjust sensitivity i.e. auto, hi or lo.

Some of the PIRs have an adjustable pot. In most cases with Pet motion detectors the bottom part of the lens is blocked out in the cover so it will only pick up an intruder at a certain height in the room. I have used the Risco pet PIRs with no issues myself.

HKC do have PET pirs . They are very good. The RF pir is pet friendly. I'm almost certain the wired quad pir is pet friendly too.

HKC pir is pet tolerant not a Pet Imunne Pir. I was talking to the lads at the road show and they are bring out a different Pir Lens.

I had an issue with those beams before. In their documentation and website they call it "pet immune" which it clearly isn't.

If it a cat I have them working on the lower setting with no issues.
Dogs do set them off so I have blocked the lower part of the lens.

Hkc should change there wording on some of there products . So people would know exactly what they are buying & what the product can do

If you purchase any product and if it does not perform as the product states it can do . It is clearly false advertising & very misleading

Ive used them with no issues. You've to set them up not pointing at any stairs ect . only issue I had was when I had it facing the stairs. Moved it and hey presto . don't think we've tried it with the big dogs.
