ייַנמאָנטירונג

איידער איר אָנהייבן: Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

  1. צוגרייטן וויירינג: The photo control unit comes with 6-inch pre-stripped leads for easy connection.
  2. מאָונטינג: 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. וויירינג קאַנעקשאַנז: Connect the photo control wires to your electrical system as follows:
    • שוואַרץ דראָט: Connect to the incoming שורה (הייס) wire from your power source.
    • ווייַס דראָט: פאַרבינדן צו די נייטראַל wire from your power source and to the neutral wire of your light fixture.
    • רויט דראָט: פאַרבינדן צו די Load (Hot) wire of your outdoor light fixture.
    Ensure all connections are tight and insulated with appropriate wire connectors.
  4. פּאַזישאַנינג: The swivel feature allows for optimal light positioning of the photocell sensor. Aim the sensor away from direct artificial light sources (e.g., porch lights, streetlights) that could interfere with its operation. Ensure it has clear exposure to natural daylight.

אָפּעראַציע

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.
  • צייט פאַרהאַלטן: 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).

וישאַלט

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

  • ריין סענסער: Periodically inspect the photocell sensor lens for dirt, dust, or debris. Gently wipe it clean with a soft, damp שטאָף. דו זאלסט נישט נוצן אַברייסיוו קלינערז.
  • דורכקוקן קאַנעקשאַנז: Annually, or if issues arise, inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure they remain secure and properly insulated.
  • ויסמעקן אַבסטראַקשאַנז: Ensure no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) are blocking the sensor's exposure to natural light.
