double sided tape?

thanks in advance  Joe

1) Tap around and find the stud or rafter behind it and use wood screws.
2) Use toggle bolts.
3) Use a sky hook.

Thanks... I thought of these.... the PIRs are very light and I have
hoping not to use heavy artillery (toggle bolts, sky hooks)
(I assume a a few hundred grams weight for the PIRs). The PIR mounting
hole is about 3mm in dia.

From a sensing point of view the PIRs are mounted in the top corner of
the corninesses to give full coverage of the room and there is no
wood behind,

I was hoping to use a special plaster screw that could do light jobs.

These are the types of things you need, self drilling wall
anchors

Bunnings will have them. You just screw them in then use a small
self tapping screw to mount your PIR to them.

Ramset wallmates.

Overkill, but piss easy.



Just use wall board screws (or coarse self tappers), if they strip you

plastic wall plugs , but if you don't know that allow your cabler to fit
them as you need a permit to fit the pir's and cabling

X-No-Archive: Yes

In QLD, you don't need that if its in your own property.

yes you do

While its interesting that someone mentions telephone cabling, the
sham artists tend to try and bundle alarms etc into that category by
claiming that these products should be done to austel standards as
they connect to the phone lines (alarm diallers etc).

wrong information ,

nice try with the shame claim but a poor strawman


If you are going to talk like that when its totally uncalled for,
then you can go and fuck yourself you SHITHEAD

wipe your shoes , you have shite on them just like your chin
