Navodila za namestitev

This sensor is designed for easy installation into 3-inch lamp posts with a 1.375-inch diameter mounting hole. The Ezee Change Plug simplifies future replacements.

  1. Odklop napajanja: Before beginning any installation, ensure power to the lamp post is turned off at the circuit breaker.
  2. Priprava mesta montaže: If replacing an existing sensor, carefully remove the old unit. Ensure the mounting hole in the lamp post is approximately 1.375 inches (1 3/8 inches) in diameter.
  3. Žične povezave: The sensor comes with an Ezee Change Plug and a wiring harness. If your existing setup does not have this plug, you will need to hardwire the harness first. Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connections. Use the provided wire nuts to secure connections.

    • Povežite črna žica from the photo-control to the black (supply) wire.
    • Povežite se all white wires together (neutral).
    • Povežite se green or bare wires together (tla).
  4. Priključitev senzorja: Once the harness is wired, plug the photocell sensor into the Ezee Change Plug connector.
  5. Montažni senzor: Insert the sensor into the mounting hole on the lamp post. Secure it using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the sensor face is unobstructed and points towards an open sky area for optimal light detection.
  6. Optional Light Shield: If the sensor is exposed to direct artificial light sources at night (e.g., streetlights, porch lights) that might interfere with its operation, install the optional light shield to prevent premature turn-off.

Delovanje

Once installed and powered, the Solus SPC-320 Photocell Sensor will operate automatically. The built-in photocell detects the absence of sufficient natural light at dusk and activates the connected light fixture. Conversely, at dawn, when sufficient natural light is detected, the sensor will deactivate the light fixture. No manual intervention is required.

The sensor is compatible with various lighting types, including incandescent (up to 300W), LED (up to 60W), fluorescent (up to 39W), and HID (up to 100W) fixtures, making it versatile for residential and commercial applications.

Periodically inspect the sensor's face to ensure it is clean and free from dirt, debris, or obstructions that could interfere with light detection. Gently wipe the sensor with a soft, damp cloth if cleaning is necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
