Sikkerhedsoplysninger
Læs og forstå alle sikkerhedsinstruktioner, før du installerer eller bruger dette produkt. Manglende overholdelse af disse instruktioner kan resultere i elektrisk stød, brand eller andre farer.
- Elektrisk fare: Installationen bør kun udføres af en kvalificeret elektriker eller i overensstemmelse med lokale el-forskrifter.
- Afbryd strømmen: Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or servicing the photo cell.
- Voltage: Sørg for, at voltage supply matches the requirements of the photo cell and connected fixtures.
- Wattage: Overskrid ikke det maksimale wattage rating of 500W for connected lighting.
- Udendørs brug: This device is designed for outdoor use. Ensure all connections are properly sealed and protected from moisture.
Opsætning og installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of the PC-1F Photo Cell.
- Vælg placering: 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.
- Afbryd strømmen: Turn off the power to the circuit at the main electrical panel before beginning installation.
- Ledningsforbindelser:
- Tilslut sort ledning from the photo cell to the incoming 120V AC Line (hot) wire.
- Tilslut hvid ledning from the photo cell to the Neutral wire of the power supply and to the Neutral wire of the lighting fixture.
- Tilslut rød ledning 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.
- Montering: Securely mount the photo cell using appropriate hardware. Ensure the sensor lens faces the direction of natural light.
- Gendan strøm: Once all connections are made and secured, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Betjeningsvejledning
The Orbit PC-1F Photo Cell operates automatically once installed and powered.
- Automatisk drift: 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.
- Tidsforsinkelse: The photo cell typically incorporates a short time delay to prevent false triggering from transient light changes (e.g., car headlights, lightning flashes).
Opretholdelse
Minimal maintenance is required for the PC-1F Photo Cell to ensure continued reliable operation.
- Sensorrensning: Periodically inspect the photo cell's sensor lens for dirt, dust, or debris. Gently clean the lens with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Tilslutningskontrol: 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.
- Kontrol af obstruktion: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) are blocking natural light from reaching the sensor.
