Istruzioni per l'installazione
Follow these steps carefully to install your Defiant Mini-Button Photo Control:
- Scollegare l'alimentazione: Before beginning any wiring, ensure the power supply to the circuit is disconnected at the fuse box or circuit breaker.
- Connessioni dei cavi:
- Collegare il filo nero from the photo control to the black power line wire (hot line).
- Collegare il filo rosso from the photo control to the black wire of the light fixture.
- Collegare all white wires (from the light fixture, the photo control, and the white power line wire) together as the neutral connection.
- Montaggio del controllo: The body of the control must be securely located in a 7/16 inch diameter hole within the fixture enclosure. Insert the nipple through the hole and tighten the nut sufficiently to create a weatherproof seal. Ensure the sensor lens is exposed to ambient light and not obstructed.
- Ripristina alimentazione: Once all connections are secure and the control is mounted, turn on the power supply at the fuse box or circuit breaker. The control may have an initial delay of up to 2 minutes before activating.
