GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions should be read carefully and retained after installation for further reference and maintenance.
SAFETY
Before installation or maintenance ensure that the mains supply to the unit is
switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker
is turned off.
It is recommended that a qualified electrician is consulted or used for the
installation of this photocell and installed to the current edition of the IET
wiring regulations.
INSTALLATION
-
Carefully choose the correct position to install the photocell kit considering the following guidelines:-
• Where possible there should be a clear view of the sky, allowing sufficient distance when mounting under eves.
• For optimum performance the position chosen should have a clear view of north.
• Be away from view of any artificial light source.
• Be away from view of the light source the unit is to control.
• Be inaccessible to unauthorised persons. -
Securely fix the base holder to a vertical wall so that the head will be facing up when fitted.
-
Fit the gasket into the base holder foam side up.
-
Enter the supply & load cable into the base through the hole in the bottom of the base ensuring that a cable gland, grommet or sealing compound is used to maintain the IP rating of the unit.
-
Terminate the cable into the NEMA socket observing the correct connections:
-
Place the NEMA socket into the base holder with the arrow printed on the socket pointing towards north, if north is located behind the unit or towards the mounting surface then the arrow should be aligned pointing in the direction of the best natural light.
-
The base holder has 2 locating pins for the NEMA socket to fit onto, the NEMA socket should then be secured using the 2 countersunk self tapping screws provided.
-
Align the largest of the 3 brass feet marked `Neutral’ on the photocell head with the largest slot in the NEMA socket, push the photocell head into the NEMA socket and gently turn clockwise to lock into place.
OPERATION & TESTING
- The photocell always powers up in the `On’ position, if in bright daylight it will switch off within 2 minutes, normal operation will then resume.
- To test for correct operation cover the photocell with the packing box, after a short delay, 15 – 120 seconds, the photocell will operate and power will be applied to the load. If tested in bright daylight after a similar delay the photocell will turn off the power to the load when the packing box is removed.
COMMON PROBLEMS
The load stays on:
The photocell is in a shady or dark position or the neutral is not connected.
The load is flashing, strobing or switching on and off repeatedly through
hours of darkness:
The photocell is too close to the light source it is controlling or Li’ & Lo’ are reversed.
Note: These photocells are LED compatible and can run up to 400 watts, the number of light fittings should be limited to no more than 10 fittings.
