Installasie

Voordat jy begin: Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

  1. Berei bedrading voor: The photo control unit comes with 6-inch pre-stripped leads for easy connection.
  2. Montering: 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. Bedrading verbindings: Connect the photo control wires to your electrical system as follows:
    • Swart draad: Connect to the incoming Reël (warm) wire from your power source.
    • Wit draad: Koppel aan die Neutraal wire from your power source and to the neutral wire of your light fixture.
    • Rooi draad: Koppel aan die Load (Hot) wire of your outdoor light fixture.
    Ensure all connections are tight and insulated with appropriate wire connectors.
  4. Posisionering: 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. Herstel krag: Sodra die installasie voltooi is en alle verbindings veilig is, herstel die krag by die stroombreker.

Operasie

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

  • Skemer Aktivering: When natural light diminishes to a certain level (dusk), the photocell sensor will activate, turning on the connected outdoor lights.
  • Dawn Deaktivering: As natural light increases to a sufficient level (dawn), the photocell sensor will deactivate, turning off the connected outdoor lights.
  • Tydsvertraging: 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).

Onderhoud

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

  • Maak sensor skoon: Periodically inspect the photocell sensor lens for dirt, dust, or debris. Gently wipe it clean with a soft, damp lap. Moenie skuur skoonmaakmiddels gebruik nie.
  • Inspekteer verbindings: Annually, or if issues arise, inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure they remain secure and properly insulated.
  • Vee obstruksies uit: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) are blocking the sensor's exposure to natural light.
