Living and dining room
Ensure there is no overlap of the PIR coverage areas when the dining
room and living room are combined, or are adjacent and open plan.
Install the two PIRs back to back, such that their locations enable
separation of the living room and the dining room types of activity
event
The following figure shows a possible solution for installation when a
living room is adjacent to the dining room.

Checking if an Optical Limiter is Required
If the premises include rooms that combine activities, it is important to differentiate these activities by
using an optical limiter. For example, where there is a combined bathroom: a bathroom with a toilet.
In such a case, an optical limiter should be fitted to the PIR in the restroom.
Instructions for fitting an optical limiter are included in 2.4 Setting Up the PIR on page 11.
The following figure shows the optical limiter.
