This custom-designed enclosure is built specifically for the PIR 8 motion sensor, offering both protection and flexibility. It features a smooth ball joint connection that allows for easy angle adjustment, letting you fine-tune the sensor’s position for optimal coverage. The enclosure connects to a modular stand, available in three variants: a straight 65mm stand, a compact 35mm version, and a 65mm stand with a 60-degree tilt — perfect for mounting on angled surfaces or walls. Ideal for smart home automation, DIY security systems, or any motion-triggered setup where precision and adaptability matter.

How to Assemble

Step 1

To begin disassemble the existing PIR 8 sensor, some of the original parts will be re-used.

Step 2

Insert the dome into the hole, this has been deliberately designed to be a snug fit, if using outside you may want to add a little glue or silicone to help waterproof the enclosure.

Step 3

Feed the wire through the hole in the enclosure base.

Step 4

Wire up the sensor, making a not on wire colors used.

Step 5

Insert the PCB into the enclosure, please note the support arms are a little fragile, so please be gentle.

Step 6

Using the existing screws, attach the base plate, DO NOT overtighten as this could break the supporting arms.

Step 7

Place the nut over the stand, insert the stand into the ball joint and tighten the nut gently ensuring the device is at the desired angle
