A heavy duty relay supports the work life of over 15,000 cycles, and offers extra long work life when an optional metal Armor is applied together.
This product provides twist lock terminals and signal contacts meeting the requirements of ANSI C136.41-2013, as well as being listed by UL under the Standard for Plug-In, Locking Type Photocontrols for Use with Area Lighting ANSI/UL773.
Installation
Disconnect power, remove junction box cover, place the SWITCH in knockout hole and fasten with locknut.
Wire according to the diagram in right hand.
Do not install the switch with the Photocell facing artificial or reflected light. This will cause the unit to cycle on and off at night.
Initial Testing
It is normal for the SWITCH to take several minutes to turn off when first installed.
To test “turn on” during daytime, cover its eye with sliding the metal strip mounted.
Do not cover with finger because light traveling through fingers may be great enough to keep the switch open.
Test will take approximately 2 minutes.
