Time to 3 minutes and adjust distance and angle for best response. The unit is turned on once when the unit is installed. I do not see any means of bypassing the motoin detection as separate supply from the LED.Īdjust the LUX and the time and aim the unit correctly and distance adjustment. Should you change your mind, and wish normal motion operation (and the unit's temporary override feature), you wire the live from the switch to the black of the motion detector, and the red from the detector to the live for the bulb fittings. You now have permanent override feature, and no functional motion detector.
You are now using the unit as a "dumb" armature. Leave the black wire of the motion detector head itself unconnected and cap & tape it off. If, at the unit's junction box, you tie the switched live from your wall switch to the red of the unit, you have normal switched spot lights. The switched line feeds the two line-voltage spot lights. This unit has a line (black) and neutral (white) as well as a switched line (red). (This is also the kind of unit you could use to chain other outdoor lights, but this is not what you asked) The better route is to replace the unit with a style that uses independent light bulbs which are separate from the motion control unit. While hacking it is maybe not impossible to do, it would not be recommended as doing so would void the UL and affect your house insurance coverage in the event of a fire. Your goal is to have the circuit always-on so that the switch supplying power to the unit effectively becomes the lighting switch.
MOTION ACTIVATED OUTDOOR FLOOD LIGHT DRIVER
The unit you show seems to have the lighting control, power supply and LED driver integrated on the PCB, making it difficult to find the right spot to short or bypass. Let me know if there are any simple ideas here without burning my house down. I'm guessing "PMO" is the output for the motion sensor? So another idea was jumping +12V directly to PMO? I see the pins labeled PWM (pulse width modulation I'm guessing?). Wondering if there's a simple jumper I can put it to bypass the motion detector? I was guessing maybe the +12V directly to LED+? Not sure if there would be any current issues though. Here's the circuit board (the motion detector was attached to the right-most header and the other 3 go to the LEDs):
Honestly, I just want to bypass the motion detector altogether and use it like a normal flood light with the switch that is already wired up. I usually only go out for short periods of time.
This is super annoying since I hate having to dance around to get the light to come back on.
MOTION ACTIVATED OUTDOOR FLOOD LIGHT MANUAL
When I turn on the switch, the light comes on for ~15 seconds (the manual refers to it a "warm up period") and then turns off until further motion is detected. My contractor installed this outdoor motion detector flood light: Home Zone Security MK-SC0108 ( )
