Well done Acorn, I think personally i would have used a Dual tec to resolve the problem, as two pir's in Parallel may not solve the false alarm issue you may have,

Yes, then into the panel.

Just as though you are wiring power to both detectors, you 'parallel' the two connections from both detectors into the 12v at the panel ( + & - ) - get it?

so u mean put the n to n and c to c shall we say in n/c and link to panel that way ?

thanks acorn but can u explain ha ha

You want them both to go off at the same time causing an alarm condition?

Wire the alarm output from one in parallel with the alarm output from the other then directly into the relevant circuit at your control panel.

Then if one goes off, nothing will happen, if both go off at the same time the panel will follow generating an alarm condition.

Stuck, ask again.

they really need to be linked together as if seperate a mice could set it off ect u get me and dont want to go all way to garage for nothing :-(

Can be VERY confusing your best making them seperate e.g 1 zone to z3 1 zone to z2 and magnetic doorcontacts for door
