If my small dog activates a PIR light, will it trigger a pet friendly PIR?
Ali, London
As long as the pet is under the weight of 20-25kg the PIR would not detect any movement.

I understand the minimum height for the Era PIR Pet Sensor is 2 meters. Can you please confirm the recommended height and also the maximum height as I have very tall ceilings. Thanks
Philip, London
2 meters is also the recommended height for placement to ensure optimum coverage. There is no designated maximum height as such, but bare in mind the range and field of view will be affected by the angle at which the sensor is positioned.

I have a couple of storage rooms on the exterior of my house (old coal shed etc). Brick built with wooden doors windows etc. No heating but dry. Would an ERA pet friendly PIR be best or a door sensor? Considering no heating in uk weather.
Mitch, Halesowen
Providing it won't be exposed to the elements we would advise the Pet PIR. These are commonly used to great effect in garden sheds. I would expect your outbuildings to be similar. The only possible issue might be getting the signal back to the base unit through the brick outbuilding walls and your house exterior wall. The only way to know for sure would be try them. If it doesn't work all or part of the alarm can be returned.

I have an ERA "Invincible" system. I have just had to change the batteries in one of my PIRs. I am concerned that the others will need changing when I am away, how long should the batteries last?
Robert Taylor, Portsmouth
The battery life for components on average is 18 - 24 months.
