What are the three wires from motion sensor tie into the black?
In a typical motion sensor setup, the three wires commonly include a black wire (hot), a white wire (neutral), and a red wire (load or switched). The black wire connects to the power source, while the white wire connects to the neutral. The red wire usually goes to the light fixture, allowing the motion sensor to control the light when motion is detected. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific wiring configurations.
Where the house wiring is black white and green but the smoke detector is wired red white and black How do you connect them?
black should be your hot white your neautral and the red should be the interconnect to another smoke alarm so that if one goes off in the upstairs the down stairs one will go off also because they are joined by the red wire(interconnected) check for another smoke detector(the red/black/white)should be fed from it to were you are talking about
Motion detector security lights won't turn off?
In most motion sensor switches you will have three wires. A black, white and red wire. The black and white (neutral) are used for the electronics in the sensor. These connect to the incoming black and white power. Connect the lamp across the red and the white (neutral). When the sensor detects motion the red wire becomes "hot" and the light will go on.
How do you wire a candelabra lamp to a three way switch?
A candelabra lamp fixture is the same as any other lamp fixture. Using a three way switching system can be followed by the related links.See related links below.
What is three way switching?
Three-way switching refers to a setup where two switches control the same light fixture. This allows the light to be turned on or off from two different locations, providing flexibility and convenience. It involves using special 3-way switches and a traveler wire to connect the switches together.
What is the proper 3 wire smoke detector wiring diagram for installation?
The proper 3 wire smoke detector wiring diagram for installation involves connecting the black wire to the hot wire, the white wire to the neutral wire, and the red wire to the interconnect wire. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific smoke detector model.
How do you determine which wire is the 'feed' wire?
Check it with a voltmeter or with a voltage detector.
How can I effectively use a wire detector to locate wires in walls?
To effectively use a wire detector to locate wires in walls, start by selecting the appropriate setting on the detector for electrical wires. Hold the detector against the wall and slowly move it horizontally and vertically to scan for wires. When the detector indicates a wire is present, mark the location and proceed with caution to avoid damaging the wire during any renovations or repairs.

How do you add a motion sensor to an existing outdoor light fixture?
A typical motion detector has three wire on it. Black, White and Red. To install this on an outside light it get wired as follows. The White wire is the Neutral. It gets attached to the White feed wire and the white wire that hoed to the light. The Black wire feed power to the motion detector. It attached to the Black feed wire coming from the house. The Red wire on the motion detector is the switched wire. It get attached to the black wire coming from the light fixture. -------- Is the existing light fixture a decorative one? I ask because having been in security biz for long time, it's important to know the difference YOU WANT in your motion light (from a regular decorative fixture.) The purpose of a motion sensored light - for security purposes - is to startle the perp. when a bright light suddenly shines on him. You want him to think you're inside and you turned the light on him so he will run for the hills. Criminals don't like to get caught in the spot light or encounter homeowners. So that light should be VERY Bright and light up the space like daytime. You need a bright flood light, directed to cover a specific entrance area or door. You want it pointed down over the area so he is forced to put himself right where the light will hit him which is going to be close to the door or entrance he plans on using to enter the house. If light shines up and across a distance, it is easy to duck under it and move among the shadows. Any other type of fixture will not give you the results you want.
How do you wire smoke detector?
When something is hard wired, it is wired directly to the house wire. No cord. You just install the smoke detector like you would a light fixture or an outlet.
Why do they say to only use incandescent lights in security lights with motion sensors?
Incandescent light are the only type of light that has a filament. The filament is the the little piece of wire that glows where the electricity passes through it. All other lights are gas filled. Most motion detectors need to pass a small amount of electricity through the filament to work. The motion detector uses the filament as a neutral wire. The time lag to get a florescent bulb to light up would create too much delay and negate the use of the motion detector. The filament will light up very quickly.

How can a kid mske a trap with only a motion detector a string and a Nerf gun?
make a trip wire. then get a pulley. then get the string to go through the pully then put the string on the trigger then tie the ends of the string together.
