Combined bathroom
A combined bathroom is a bathroom that includes a toilet. Because
this type of bathroom includes two types of activities – bathroom and
restroom - it is important to ensure that both activities are monitored
separately.
If there is a combined bathroom, you must install an optical limiter in
the restroom PIR, to capture the restroom activities. Refer to 2.2
Checking if an Optical Limiter is Required on page 10.
NOTE:
In a combined bathroom,
if an optical limiter is fitted
to the restroom PIR
, the coverage area of the two PIRs can
overlap.
The following figure shows a possible solution for installation in a
combined bathroom.
