Movement sensor

A movement sensor can start your fountain when there is some one there to watch your fountain.  Let us first explain what they do.

P.I.R. stands for passive infra red. Basically they pick up the movement of infra-red heat. By design they are more sensitive if you walk across its field of view as opposed to towards it. With this particular unit it has a built in timer and day light sensor, both of which are adjustable.

We often use them as they have advantages over a timer in that they can work for a set time only when there is some one present to view the fountain. (This is only true if the person viewing is within the range of the P.I.R.) this in turn saves you money in running costs.

The picture below shows a P.I.R. mounted this particular one is operating our lions mask water feature.

Each P.I.R. is 240 volt ac operated and is available in black or white. It is suitable for external use.
