INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply before installation.
Before Installation
IMPORTANT
Expose the photocell to light for 16 hours.
The photocells develop a hysteresis (or “light memory”) when
packed for shipping. Until the photocell has been exposed to
bright light for at least 16 hours, light level setpoints will shift.

Location
Locate the cadmium sulfide photocell sensor C7057A1000
(supplied with this controller) so that the lens is exposed to full
daylight. (See Fig. 2.)
NOTES:
— Select an area which will not become shaded.
— Mount only with light entrance facing horizontally.
— Avoid overexposure to direct east/west sunlight.
Mounting
IMPORTANT
Mount the photocell sensor to the top of a watertight,
outdoor FS junction box.
1. Use the gasket provided to prevent moisture entry.
2. Screw stem into 1/2-14 threaded knockout.
NOTE: The photocell sensor can be mounted in a
7/8 in. hole (or knockout).
Mount the controller on any convenient interior location:
1. Remove the tamper-proof cover.
2. Mount the controller using the two mounting holes
provided in the metal enclosure corners (mounting
screws not included).
NOTE: Use controller dimensions in Fig. 1 as a guide.
