INSTALLATION
1. Carefully choose the correct position to
install the photocell considering the following
guide lines.
2. Where possible there should be a clear view of
the sky.
3. Not pointing at the light source the unit is to
control.
4. Securely fix the photocell through a 20mm
clearance hole using the locking ring and
gasket which should be positioned on the
inside of the hole to form a water tight seal.
5. Terminate the 3 cables observing the correct
connections: -
“BROWN” = Live (Supply In)
“RED” = Load (Supply Out)
“BLUE” = Neutral
OPERATING & TESTING
6. The photocell always powers up in the “On”
position, if in bright daylight it will switch off
within 15 seconds, normal operation will then
resume.
7. To test for correct operation cover the
photocell, after a short delay, 5-15 seconds, the
photocell will operate and power will be applied
to the load. If tested in bright day light after a
similar delay the photocell will turn off the
power to the load when the packing box is
removed.
