Nyx 1 – Day/Night
Photocontroller Overview
The Nyx 1 –Day/Night photocontroller has a switch that may be used to congure the controller to perform as required. The switch on the face of the controller is used to adjust the Day OR Night setting for the load output. The photocell in the center of the controller determines whether it will be used in the “Day” mode or the “Night” mode. The Nyx 1 provides up to 15 amps of capacity on a standard 120 Volt circuit. The Nyx 1 is built with the highest quality components and will provide the user with years of trouble free service.
Instructions for Operation
• Securely mount your Nyx 1 in your enclosure and away from any spray/water/mist, etc.
• Set the controller to “Day” OR “Night” to activate your equipment.
• Plug your equipment into the female side of the piggyback cord set.
• Adjust your equipment to activate at the preferred setting.
• Verify that the equipment to be activated is turned “ON”.
• Plug the male side of the piggyback cord set into a 120 Volt/ 15 amp maximum branch circuit outlet. Use of a surge protection power strip is recommended.
• Your Nyx 1 will now control your equipment at the desired settings until the power is defeated.
• To reset your Nyx 1. Simply unplug the piggyback cord from the 120 Volt outlet, adjust your settings, and plug it back into the 120 Volt outlet to activate controller at new settings.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the Nyx 1 is not performing as expected, try the following:
a. Conrm that your power input is active and providing 120 Volts/
15 Amps/60 Hz to the controller.
b. Check the voltage output of your piggyback cord set using a voltage test meter,
fan or 120V light to verify power is owing through controller when activated.
c. Make sure that your “Day/Night” switch is in the correct mode for your application.
d. If your Nyx 1 is not functioning in the correct mode, check to see if there are any
obstructions or impediments covering the photocell. If so, clean the photocell using warm water on a soft cloth. Completely dry photocell before using.
e. Should you nd that your Nyx 1 is not activating your equipment, verify
that your equipment is “on” and that the equipment is at the proper setting.
f. If you’re still having problems with your Nyx 1, please contact our
Technical Service Representative to assist you further.
