Open the Photocell enclosure and feed the GPS cable through it.
Using thread sealant, connect the NPT adapter to the Photocell enclosure. Make sure to connect the adapter to the side of the Photocell as shown in the manual.
Drop the Antenna cable down the conduit before attaching it to the D1RWC13-409-CTR-GPS.
Refer to the Photocell Manual for detailed instructions on connecting the Photocell to the Controller.
Adjust the wire loop to J4 of the Marker light monitor board located inside the controller.
Make the following wire connections from the Photocell to the Controller:
- +V = 12Vdc (supplied from the controller)
- SIG. IN = sense voltage relayed to the controller
- Return = ground
The Photocell will adjust the signal voltage according to the amount of light it senses. Refer to the tables in the manual for photocell voltages in all modes of operation.

The GPS Antenna allows the controller to synchronize to a Satellites GPS pulse. By locking on to the position of the Satellites the system will flash on every edge by means of the pulse per second pulse.
The system can also be used when two structures are to be synchronized together to flash at the same time.

Steps for Installing the GPS Antenna to the Photocell Enclosure:

NOTE

The photocell required for this installation will have both ends threaded for ¾ NPT Conduit, which is required for installing the photocell and GPS Antenna. Photocell part number D256-6001-PEC
The GPS antenna must be NOT mounted behind walls or inside of shelters. Conduit between the Photocell and antenna can be longer if needed. Refer to cable length before selecting conduit length. Cable cannot be lengthened then that supplied.

Attach the TNC side of the cable to the GPS Antenna
Remove Photocell board for running cable if required
- NOTE: There is nothing required on the Photocell board
Attach ¾ inch NPT to bottom of the GPS antenna
- NOTE: Use thread sealant on all NPT threads
With Photocell open feed the GPS cable through the enclosure.
Using the thread sealant connect the NPT adaptor to the Photocell enclosure
- NOTE: Connect adaptor to the side of the photocell shown below.
- NOTE: Drop the Antenna cable down the conduit before attaching to the D1RW-C13-409-CTR-GPS.
