5.2 Navodila za ožičenje
POMEMBNO: Pred začetkom namestitve se prepričajte, da je napajanje IZKLOPLJENO na odklopniku.
- Pripravite žice: Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of all wires (photocell, incoming power, and light fixture wires).
- Connect Neutral Wires: Povežite bela žica from the photocell to the incoming bela (nevtralna) žica from your power source and the bela (nevtralna) žica of your light fixture. Secure with a wire nut.
- Connect Line (Hot) Wire: Povežite črna žica from the photocell to the incoming black (hot/line) wire from your power source. Secure with a wire nut.
- Priključitev obremenitvene žice: Povežite rdeča žica from the photocell to the black (hot/load) wire of your light fixture. Secure with a wire nut.
- Varne povezave: Ensure all wire nuts are tight and connections are secure. Wrap each wire nut with electrical tape for added insulation and protection.
- Mount Photocell: Mount the photocell in a location where it will receive natural daylight and is not obstructed by shadows or artificial light sources (e.g., other lights, car headlights) that could interfere with its operation. If installing outdoors, ensure it is within a suitable weather-resistant enclosure.
- Obnovi moč: Once all connections are secure and the photocell is mounted, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Opomba: The photocell may have a built-in delay (typically a few seconds to a few minutes) before activating or deactivating to prevent false triggers from transient light changes.

6. Delovanje
The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control operates automatically based on ambient light levels:
- At Dusk: When natural light levels fall below a certain threshold, the photocell will detect darkness and activate the connected light fixture.
- At Dawn: When natural light levels rise above a certain threshold, the photocell will detect sufficient light and deactivate the connected light fixture.
There is an intentional delay in the switching mechanism (typically a few seconds to a few minutes) to prevent the light from cycling on and off due to temporary shadows, car headlights, or lightning flashes.
7. Vzdrževanje
The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control requires minimal maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the photocell sensor for any dirt, dust, or debris that might obstruct its view of ambient light. Gently clean the sensor with a soft, damp krpo, če je potrebno.
- Ensure the area around the sensor remains clear of obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new decorations) that could block natural light.
- Check wiring connections annually for any signs of wear or corrosion, especially in outdoor installations.
8. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Svetloba neprekinjeno sveti. | Sensor is not receiving enough light (e.g., obstructed, installed in a dark area). Wiring error (e.g., load wire connected to line). Defective photocell. | Relocate or clear obstructions from the sensor. Verify wiring connections according to Section 5.2. Consult an electrician if unsure. Replace the photocell if other solutions fail. |
| Luč se ne prižge v mraku. | Na enoti ni napajanja. Sensor is receiving too much light (e.g., from another light source). Napaka pri ožičenju. Defective photocell or light fixture bulb. | Preverite odklopnik in napajanje. Relocate the sensor or shield it from artificial light sources. Verify wiring connections according to Section 5.2. Test the light fixture with a different power source or replace the bulb. Replace photocell if necessary. |
| Light cycles on/off rapidly. | Interference from flickering light sources or transient shadows. Sensor is partially obstructed or dirty. | Ensure the sensor has a clear, consistent view of ambient light. Clean the sensor. Note that a short delay is normal to prevent rapid cycling. |
| Light turns on/off with a delay. | To je normalno delovanje. | The photocell is designed with a built-in time delay to prevent false triggers. This is not a malfunction. |
