2. Montering: The unit connects directly to a standard 1/2-inch pipe thread electrical box. Secure the photo control to the electrical box using the provided mounting hardware.
3. Ledningsforbindelser: Connect the photo control wires to your electrical system as follows:
   • Sort ledning: Connect to the incoming Linje (varm) wire from your power source.
   • Hvid ledning: Tilslut til Neutral wire from your power source and to the neutral wire of your light fixture.

Operation

The Westek SW103CT Photo Control operates automatically based on ambient light levels:

• Dusk Activation: When natural light diminishes to a certain level (dusk), the photocell sensor will activate, turning on the connected outdoor lights.
• Dawn Deactivation: As natural light increases to a sufficient level (dawn), the photocell sensor will deactivate, turning off the connected outdoor lights.
• Tidsforsinkelse: 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).

Opretholdelse

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your photo control unit:

• Rengør sensor: Periodically inspect the photocell sensor lens for dirt, dust, or debris. Gently wipe it clean with a soft, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler.
• Undersøg forbindelser: Annually, or if issues arise, inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure they remain secure and properly insulated.
• Ryd forhindringer: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) are blocking the sensor's exposure to natural light.
