Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite
Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or other hazards.
- Danje elektrik: Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician or in accordance with local electrical codes.
- Dekonekte pouvwa: Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or servicing the photo cell.
- Voltage: Asire voltage supply matches the requirements of the photo cell and connected fixtures.
- Wattage: Pa depase wat maksimòm lantage rating of 500W for connected lighting.
- Itilizasyon deyò: This device is designed for outdoor use. Ensure all connections are properly sealed and protected from moisture.
Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of the PC-1F Photo Cell.
- Chwazi Kote: Select a mounting location where the photo cell's sensor will be exposed to natural daylight and not obstructed by eaves, trees, or other structures. Avoid locations where artificial light sources (e.g., streetlights, porch lights) might shine directly onto the sensor, as this can cause erratic operation.
- Dekonekte pouvwa: Turn off the power to the circuit at the main electrical panel before beginning installation.
- Koneksyon fil elektrik:
- Konekte a fil nwa from the photo cell to the incoming 120V AC Line (hot) wire.
- Konekte a fil blan from the photo cell to the Neutral wire of the power supply and to the Neutral wire of the lighting fixture.
- Konekte a fil wouj from the photo cell to the Load (hot) wire of the lighting fixture.
Ensure all wire connections are secure and insulated with appropriate wire connectors.
- Montaj: Securely mount the photo cell using appropriate hardware. Ensure the sensor lens faces the direction of natural light.
- Retabli pouvwa: Yon fwa tout koneksyon yo fèt epi yo byen sere, retabli kouran an nan disjonktè a.
Enstriksyon Operasyon
The Orbit PC-1F Photo Cell operates automatically once installed and powered.
- Operasyon otomatik: The photo cell is designed to detect ambient light levels. When natural light diminishes below a certain threshold (e.g., at dusk), the photo cell will automatically activate the connected lighting fixtures.
- Daylight Deactivation: Conversely, when sufficient natural light returns (e.g., at dawn), the photo cell will automatically deactivate the connected lighting fixtures.
- Reta Tan: The photo cell typically incorporates a short time delay to prevent false triggering from transient light changes (e.g., car headlights, lightning flashes).
Antretyen
Minimal maintenance is required for the PC-1F Photo Cell to ensure continued reliable operation.
- Netwayaj Capteur: Periodically inspect the photo cell's sensor lens for dirt, dust, or debris. Gently clean the lens with a soft, damp twal si sa nesesè. Pa sèvi ak pwodui netwayaj abrazif.
- Tcheke Koneksyon: Annually, or if issues arise, inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion. Ensure power is disconnected before performing any inspection.
- Verifikasyon Obstriksyon: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) are blocking natural light from reaching the sensor.
