Title: What happens when... Motion Sensor
Post by: KDR on October 23, 2006, 09:52:00 PM

I have not tried this but I'm sure someone has...

If you take a motion sensor which has a Unit code + 1 for dusk/dawn and set the unit code to 16 what happens to the + 1 part since theres no 17?

All of mine are in service at the moment AND working so I didn't want to take one down to try it.

If I remeber right it sends the unit code 1  ;) :D ;D

Just tested a MS14A and Tuicemen is absolutely correct!  When the unit code is set to 16, the dusk/dawn transmits unit code 1!   ;D

Now I just have to turn my porch light back off.   >:(

Thanks  Tuicemen  and Bill. I was expecting that on code 16 dusk/dawn would not operate, not go back to 1. Puts info in memory banks.

Yes if it didn't loop around. Unit 16 would be the most popular code if you didn't want to deal with Dusk/dawn ;D
