Wiring
Installation
• Mount the unit on a wall in an open position, preferably facing south to
avoid direct sunshine and enhance service life.
• Don’t mount unit in dark recesses where the natural change in daylight
does not directly influence the photo electric sensor.
• Don’t mount indoors – light through windows may not be the correct
level for the photo electric sensor and the unit may not turn on and off as
intended.
• Don’t mount where other lights may shine on the photo electric sensor, as
the unit may not turn on.
• Don’t mount where the lights being controlled can shine on the photo
electric sensor, as it may cause the unit to cycle on and off repeatedly.

delay into account.
