I am trying to control an el-cheapo 2 bulb 4' florescent Shop Light with an MS16A Motion Sensor and an RR501 Transceiver.
The shop light has a 3 prong plug, but the Transceiver only has a 2 prong receptacle, so I used a 3 prong adapter to plug the shop light into the Transceiver.
What I'm finding is that (99% of the time) when the sensor sends the signal to turn off the Shop Light, it turns off and then immediately comes back on. The Transceiver goes click-off-click-on.
I'm pretty confident that it's the Shop Light that's causing the problem since I've tried it with 2 different Motion Sensors, 2 different Transceivers and 2 different circuits. I even used 2 different Transceivers on 2 different circuits, one with the Shop Light and the other with a regular incandescent table lamp. The incandescent turns off and stays off, the Shop Light comes right back on. I then swapped the incandescent and the Shop Light between the Transceivers and the problem followed the Shop Light. I've tested every possible configuration multiple times and the problem only occurs with the Shop Light.
Do you think it's the Shop Light itself that's confusing the Transceiver or the fact that it's not grounded?
Thanks!
