• 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).

• 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.
