Installazione

Prima di iniziare: Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

1. Preparare il cablaggio: The photo control unit comes with 6-inch pre-stripped leads for easy connection.
2. Montaggio: The unit connects directly to a standard 1/2-inch pipe thread electrical box. Secure the photo control to the electrical box using the provided mounting hardware.
3. Collegamenti elettrici: Connect the photo control wires to your electrical system as follows:
   • Filo nero: Connect to the incoming Linea (calda) wire from your power source.
   • filo bianco: Connettiti al Neutro wire from your power source and to the neutral wire of your light fixture.
   • Filo rosso: Connettiti al Load (Hot) wire of your outdoor light fixture.
   Ensure all connections are tight and insulated with appropriate wire connectors.
4. Posizionamento: The swivel feature allows for optimal light positioning of the photocell sensor. Aim the sensor away from direct artificial light sources (e.g., porch lights, streetlights) that could interfere with its operation. Ensure it has clear exposure to natural daylight.
5. Ripristina alimentazione: Una volta completata l'installazione e verificati tutti i collegamenti, ripristinare l'alimentazione tramite l'interruttore automatico.

Operazione

The Westek SW103CT Photo Control operates automatically based on ambient light levels:

• Dusk Activation: When natural light diminishes to a certain level (dusk), the photocell sensor will activate, turning on the connected outdoor lights.
• Dawn Deactivation: As natural light increases to a sufficient level (dawn), the photocell sensor will deactivate, turning off the connected outdoor lights.
• Ritardo temporale: The unit incorporates a time delay feature to prevent nuisance flickering or false activation/deactivation due to transient light changes (e.g., car headlights, lightning).

Manutenzione

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your photo control unit:

• Sensore pulito: Periodically inspect the photocell sensor lens for dirt, dust, or debris. Gently wipe it clean with a soft, damp panno. Non usare detergenti abrasivi.
• Ispezionare le connessioni: Annually, or if issues arise, inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure they remain secure and properly insulated.
• Ostacoli chiari: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) are blocking the sensor's exposure to natural light.
