Photocell
1 WATT, 24VDC
Cat. No. ODCØP
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The Cat. No. ODC
Ø
P Photocell responds to ambient light levels in the viewing area and
provides an output that is representative of the ambient light intensity. The output is an
analog voltage proportionate to the ambient light level.
The ambient light measured is the light from any light source in the visible spectrum. The
Photocell does not distinguish between natural sunlight and artificial light. It contains a
sensor which is color and spatially corrected to provide a true representation of changes
in lighting levels which a person perceives.
The Photocell operates off of low-voltage power. The input voltage needed is 24VDC with
approximately 10mA current consumption. The photocell measures ambient light between
0 and 70 footcandles, and the output voltage has a range between 0 and 10VDC. An
output of 0VDC corresponds to 0 footcandles, and an output of 10VDC corresponds to 70
footcandles. This sensor can be used to enable Daylight Harvesting, using specific Leviton
Power Packs.
The sensor measures the ambient light that actually falls upon it within a 60° cone
extending downward from the sensor (refer to Figure 1). This is the light that gets
reflected to the ceiling from the walls, floor and furniture. NOTE: Care must be taken when
choosing the mounting location. It is recommended that the sensor be mounted directly
above the work space, such as the desk, conference table or computer terminal.
Mounting location is important because the ambient light level will be different at different
points in the room, depending on the location of the windows, lighting fixtures, wall colors,
etc. The ambient light at the doorway can be much less than that at the windows, corners
of the room, or especially on the ceiling. Therefore, it is important to measure the ambient
light level over the workplace.
Cat. No. ODC
Ø
P Photocell is compatible with specific Leviton Power Packs. The Photocell
is to be mounted in an appropriate ceiling location and is connected to the Power Pack
through low-voltage wires.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing, carefully read the following instructions to determine the ceiling location
of the Photocell. The ideal location should provide a full view of the area to be illuminated.
WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS,
CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
CAUTION: USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH
ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
TO INSTALL:
1.
WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT
BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. The Photocell can either be fastened onto the ceiling surface, flush mounted into the
ceiling, or installed in a 4" (10.2 cm) round or octagonal outlet box, depending on
ceiling material and local codes.

Make all connections as described in Steps 4 through 9. Carefully feed the wires into the hole and press the Photocell body into the outer
shell until the rim is flush with the shell.
NOTE: If wiring is to be run exposed along the ceiling, carefully trim the plastic from the indentation in the side of the outer shell and lay
the Photocell wires through it before tightening the shell onto the ceiling.
3B. TO FLUSH MOUNT INTO THE CEILING (ONLY ALLOWS CONCEALED WIRING, THE OUTER SHELL IS NOT USED): Cut a
2" (5.1 cm) diameter hole through the ceiling. Make all connections as described in Steps 4 through 9. Carefully feed the wires back
through the hole and press the Photocell into the hole until the rim is flush with the ceiling.
4. Prepare the Photocell lead wires by removing 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each lead to expose bare copper wire. Make sure the
ends of wires are straight.
5. Determine length of low-voltage wires needed to connect Power Pack to Photocell. Use wires suitable for low-voltage wiring,
according to local electrical code.
6. Route low-voltage wires from Photocell location(s) to Power Pack location(s).
NOTE: Refer to Power Pack Installation Instructions for complete control unit wiring details.
7. Prepare low-voltage wires by removing 3/4" (1.9 cm) of insulation from each lead to expose bare copper wire. Make sure the ends of
wires are straight.
8. Connect low-voltage wires per Figure 2 as follows: BLACK to Ground, RED To Power and ORANGE to the Power Pack Photocell
Input. Twist strands of each separate wire connection tightly, and push firmly into appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on
clockwise ensuring that no bare conductor shows below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.
9. Mount Photocell to ceiling. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
TROUBLESHOOTING: Refer to the Installation Manual and User Guide of specific Lighting Control System utilized.
