Two Motion Sensors To Control Three Lights
wrote in message ... Would like to use two motion sensors (the ones sold individually and not connected to any lights) to turn on three flood lights. The idea would be if either motion sensor was tripped the three lights would go on. My thought was to connect the switched side of the one motion sensor to the three lights and to the switched side of the other motion sensor. So it would be: (Hot Wire) Motion Sensor[A](Switched Wire)Light(Switched Wire)Light(Switched Wire)Light(Switched Wire)Motion Sensor[b](Hot Wire) My concern is that the current applied to the motion sensor that is NOT activated when the other is activated may damage the motion sensor. In other words if Motion Sensor [A] is tripped it would allow current to flow to all three lights and the switched side of Motion Sensor [b]... would that damage Sensor [b]? Make sure they are on the same phase of the power. Preferably, they should both be on the same circuit. If the sensors have relay outputs (click when operated) I can imagine no problem. |
