Instructions for installing and using the CdS-R twilight switch
1. Installation preparations

CdS-R
2. Installation
Drill a hole (8.5mm diameter) into the wall of
the casing. Remove the adhesive tape's protective lm and t the twilight switch inside the part
of the lamp that is protected from water (at the
greatest possible distance to the bulb) or t it
in a junction box. The cable exit opening must
face downwards.
Fitting on bright walls (Fig. 2).
Fit, adjust and securely screw on the light sensor,
cover (round), counter nut and seal depending
on the underground's brightness and distance to
the source of light.
Twilight switch for installation in existing lamps.
Twilight switch with switching relay for automatically switching uorescent, halogen and energysaving lamps.
Suitable for use in junction boxes
Potentiometer for setting the light value at
which the lamp is switched on
Completely ready for connecting to a lamp
Fitting on dark walls (Fig. 3).
Fit, adjust and securely screw on the light sensor, cover (rectangular), counter nut and seal
depending on the underground's brightness and
distance to the source of light.
Turn the rectangular cover in such a way that
the light sensor cannot be affected by its own
light but is exposed to sufcient daylight.
Align the cover's opening with the rising sun as
far as possible.
Retrotting with the CdS-R twilight switch is the
quick and easy way of converting existing outdoor lamps on buildings into automatic lamps.
The lamp will then be automatically switched
on in the evening and switched off again in the
morning.
The light value for the activation time may be set
with a potentiometer.
How the B.E.G. LUXOMAT® CdS-R works
A light sensor monitors ambient brightness. The
twilight switch will automatically switch the lamp
on when the brightness falls below the value
previously set with the potentiometer (Fig. 1).
The lamp will then be automatically switched off
again when the ambient brightness exceeds a
specic light value.
Important:
Only bulbs with a maximum of 60 watts should
be used when the LUXOMAT
enclosed lamps!
Stronger bulbs may cause heat to build up
to over +50°C inside the lamp, which would destroy the twilight switch. The maximum ambient
temperature for the CdS-R is +50°C.
Always install the light sensor and device
underneath the lamp socket (Fig. 4) to prevent
it from being affected by its own light and heat
from the bulb.
