look carefully in the pir. if the connections are not written on a sticky label by the connector blocks, try looking hard at the plastic to make sure it isn't moulded on it. failing that check the actual terminal blocks as they sometimes write it on the side of them.

if that doesn't help, take a picture of the insides and we can try from that.
