    Hi, our sensor pir (steinel) stopped working. the wires from the wall are 2 brown wires, 2 blue wires and the earth wire(green and yellow). The new sensor has 4 connections. thr live in, live out, earth and neutral. Please explain where I am going wrong. Cheers. p.s. If anybody knows where I can purchase a new Steinel sensor, rather than the B&Q one i purchased please lt me know. Thanks.

    Hi...
    Live 'out' refers to the brown wire going to your light.
    Live 'in' is the other brown probably coming from the fuseboard.
    The two neutrals go into same terminal together and earth wire goes into remaining terminal.
    Make sure your connections are tight!
