- Connexions de cable:
- Connecteu el filferro negre from the photo control to the black power line wire (hot line).
- Connecteu el fil vermell from the photo control to the black wire of the light fixture.
- Connecta't all white wires (from the light fixture, the photo control, and the white power line wire) together as the neutral connection.
- Muntatge del control: The body of the control must be securely located in a 7/16 inch diameter hole within the fixture enclosure. Insert the nipple through the hole and tighten the nut sufficiently to create a weatherproof seal. Ensure the sensor lens is exposed to ambient light and not obstructed.
- Restaura l'alimentació: Once all connections are secure and the control is mounted, turn on the power supply at the fuse box or circuit breaker. The control may have an initial delay of up to 2 minutes before activating.
