Pir ,PASIVE INFRARED MOTION SENSOR?

Question

if i desolder and take out the infared sensor from the circuit board then extend it by about 36 inches with soldered wires will the whole unit work as normal.

Answer 1

Provided the resistance of the wires is low compared to that of the sensor it should not affect it so it will work.

Answer 2

yes, because it is normally open, normally closed, it is a component and nothing else

Answer 3

it may. an active pir sensor is always temperature compesated with inactive(sitting in a dark) pir sensor .

You might need to move both of them to be close to each other if you expect that temperature difference will be substantial
