Instruccions d'instal·lació

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. Desconnecteu l'alimentació: Before beginning any installation, ensure power to the lamp post is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Preparació de la ubicació de muntatge: 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. Connexions de cable: 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.
   • Connecteu el fil vermell from the photo-control to the black wire of the light fixture.
   • Connecteu el filferro negre from the photo-control to the black (supply) wire.
   • Connecta't all white wires together (neutral).
   • Connecta't green or bare wires together (terra).
4. Connecta el sensor: Once the harness is wired, plug the photocell sensor into the Ezee Change Plug connector.
5. Muntatge del sensor: 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.
7. Restaura l'alimentació: Un cop finalitzada la instal·lació i totes les connexions siguin segures, restableu l'alimentació a l'interruptor.

Funcionament

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.

Manteniment

The Solus SPC-320 Photocell Sensor requires minimal maintenance. 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.

Garantia

The Solus SPC-320 Dusk-to-Dawn Photocell Sensor is backed by a 5-year warranty, providing peace of mind regarding its quality and durability.
