Make sure the manual override is off. You may have to have the unit "learn" again.

    I see that by turning a switch on and off quickly the light goes to manual mode. Do you turn manual mode off by simply doing it again?

SOURCE: I bought two motion sensing

Hello Gerald. Each switch has a function. the the test-1-5-10 allows you to set it to test or an on period of 1 or 5 or 10 minutes. The off-3-6-dusk to dawn allows you to turn it off completely, operate from dusk for 3 hours, operate from dusk for 6 hours or operate from dusk to dawn. By operate I mean turn on and then stay on for the number of minutes you set it to with the other switch.

what's nice about the test setting is that with it allows you to check and b sure that the light will come on during daylight by setting the one switch to test and the otner to any setting but off.

If you leave the 2nd switch set to off the first switch will not allow you to test it.

SOURCE: I have a IQ America doorbell with 5 chimes and 5

We had a similar problem with a wired doorbell. There is a diode in the doorbell itself that causes the chime to ring fully. If the diode is backwards, you get just a small tone and can only hear the full chime if you hold the button down. If this sounds like your problem, open up the doorbell at the button end (or have an electrician do it) and reverse the diode.

SOURCE: Timer model#28486

1) Copy following link to help identify same-similar timers with dawn-dusk selectable time Off.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#outdoor

2) Stanley-Westinghouse timers have 1 year limited warranty, but unknown who you contact for warranty service.
Buy Woods, Intermatic, or GE timers instead.

3) Do not exceed watt rating.
Make sure bulbs are operable.
Try different bulb in same timer output to see if outlet has power.
Buy timers at local store for ez return and exchange.
Try on different outlet.
Test outlet for 80% rated voltage.

SOURCE: I have outdoor security lights that run on a timer. Are there some that use a motion detector?

Yes, in fact most people have motion-detector activated lighting so they can know if there is suspicious activity outside of their home. Many security companies also offer systems that allow you to operate the lighting at your home from a smartphone or personal computer, which can help save electricity when it comes to outdoor lighting.

SOURCE: I have motion sensor flood lights that are not turning on. I put it on test & it does turn on. But when switched over to 1, 5 or ten minutes it won't turn on. The red light on the sensor does turn

April, you didn't mention whether you did the test at night. In addition to motion sensing, the flood light also detects darkness before allowing the bulbs to light up. If it is night, check also that some other light source is not illuminating the sensor. If so, that could fool the sensor into thinking it is daytime.

I want my motion securtiy light to acturally stay on all night. more after animals than people, can this be done?

What is the point of having a motion trigger on it then? Wire it direct to the switch or remove the sensing unit and turn it on at dusk and off at dawn using a timer.

The LED flashes, but the lights won't come on. Do I need to install a light shield. The sensor is mounted in a well shaded area 10 to 12 feet above ground. There are landscape lights beneath the sensor are...

There are settings on the sensor itself. Should be a dusk to dawn setting that will keep it off during those times and then function at night. as far as not working I would first suggest setting the sensitivity. Disrupting to power could have reset this.

User manual for fl09sbk light

It appears this device is rate 10 amps at 230 volts = 2300 watts.
Use at least #14 wire and 15 amp breaker.
Connect wire at connection point on light.
Unit appears to have a transformer, and might make humming sound.
There is override located somewhere on unit. Possibly as a button on the motion sensor

If infrared motion detector requires separate wiring connection, then use following wiring illustration:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/How-to-wire-motion-sensor-230V.jpg

Motion sensor will probably have 2 settings.
1st setting for sensitivity, so it will not activate when cat walks up driveway.
2nd setting for time duration, selectable from 30 seconds to 7 minutes

How do i setup the motion detection on my wancam



How to Turn Your Webcam Into Streaming Motion Detecting Surveillance System


Download Surveillance Tools for Windows MajorGeeks

Yes is the answer to your first question. Maybe, it the answer to the second question. Motion sensors can affect schedulers. For instance, some schedules turn the lights off five minutes after they came on due to a detection. And that is irregardless of whether the scheduler is due to keep the lights on during a scheduled time. And they do it after five minutes every time. That is simply an example from real life. But only you know how your particular setup is acting. I'm only confirming that they well may interact. As to how you "find the sweet spot" of getting them to act in concert just the way you want, only the manufacturers or experienced security professionals would know, probably from some grid matching particular scheduling software with particular motion detectors. (Yes, I made that up, the software manufacturer probably well knows what works with what because they tested it on something!)

Trying to set switch for 5 minutes , and i only get 30 seconds or 15 minutes

Which brand and model number specifically?
Leviton: 1-800-824-3005
Leviton Decora manual says:
"PR180 operates by detecting motion (such as body heat) within its field-of-view (area of coverage) and automatically switches lights ON. When motion is no longer detected, lights remain ON for a selected time and automatically switch OFF.
Adjustable light and time-delay controls are located on the front of the device."

The manual is not specific about set times.

In any case, the device has off-delay timing circuit, so once infrared heat is no longer sensed, the delay period begins, and once the delay period expires, the device is switched off.
Delay timing circuits are common for many home and industrial applications.
As a general rule, delay timers can be set for different time durations, however the Amazon page that sells PR180 product does not specify available time settings either.

Legrand RW3U occupancy sensor spec sheet says adjustable time delay 15 seconds 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes
http://www.amazon.com/Legrand-RW3U603I-Occupancy-Vacancy-Decorator/dp/B005FMLL5G

Delay switches
Here is manual delay-time switch Tork SS20 SS13 where you can 'fine-tune' the delay circuit, but my experience is that exact 5 minutes is not easily set:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Paragon-ET-series-243.jpg
GE 15318 switch offers 5 minute, but there is no guarantee that you can get 5 minutes exactly:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/GE-15318-countdown-timer.jpg

My conclusion is that there are very limited delay-time choices with this model number, or device is defective and suggest to call Leviton.
