How can I override a motion detector light? The motion with a 3 way sw to work manual or go back in. LED security light to bypass motion detector. I Just moved into a home & the outdoor lights have Intelectron BC8950 Motion Detectors but I do not have a manual and I have not been able to figure out how they work. Intelectron motion detector BC910pB - GE Security Simon 3 Wireless Home question. So my questions are, is it safe to do this 'jumping' method? If not are there any methods to do this or any common practices for this type of feature? I first thought about just 'jumping' the motion detector with the switch, but I am concerned if the motion detector would be able to handle live power on both sides of its relay when the relay is turned off. When the light switch gets turned off I would like the operation of the motion detector to return to normal.
What I mean by this is that I would like to be able to flip a switch that turns and keeps the lights turned on regardless of if there is motion or not. I would like the ability to 'override' the motion detector. I am going to be installing one or two motion detector lights to cover my backyard.
