I. Purpose
The TWILIGHT SWITCH TS-42-3 is designed to automatically switch the receiver on at the moment
of dusk and turn it off at dawn, or vice versa (NO, NC contacts). Two independent knobs for setting the switch-
on and switch-off thresholds allow for an optimal way to control the lighting. Independent adjustment of the
activation thresholds corrects the location of the sensor (north, south, east, west) and eliminates the hysteresis
that occurs in standard automatic units. Hysteresis causes switching off the lighting in the morning when the
lighting intensity is higher (2 ÷ 3 times) than the set lighting intensity level at which the lighting was turned on.
This causes an unfavourable extension of the lighting operation time in the morning, which results in an
increased consumption of electricity. On the other hand, too little hysteresis means that on cloudy days the
lamp may turn on and off with changing weather conditions, which is not advisable, and sometimes even
unacceptable for some lamps.
The light intensity measurement sensor has a spectrum similar to that of the human eye, and the adjustment
thresholds have logarithmic characteristics - also similar to the characteristics of the human eye.
Such an innovative design of the TS-42-3 TWILIGHT SWITCH makes the lighting control optimal, economic
and ecological.
The TS-42-3 TWILIGHT SWITCH includes:
>> TS-42 CONTROLLER - mounted in a distribution box on a 35 mm rail (one 18 mm module)
>> OUTDOOR SENSOR (IP65) - surface-mounted box mounted to the wall with two screws with a PG9 gland
to insert the cable. Connection cable not longer than 100m.
II. Features of the TWILIGHT SWITCH TS-42-3 ECO
>> Independent regulation of activation and deactivation thresholds
>> precise logarithmic adjustment:
> activation - 1 ... 10 ... 100 lx
> shutdown - 1 ... 10 ... 100 lx
>> high switching power - 16A (4000 W) 250VAC, 16A (384 W) 24VDC
>> high inrush current - resistance to 100 A surge current
>> freedom of connections:
> executive relay contacts (one normally open contact - NO, one normally closed contact - NC) galvanically
separated, which allows connections in various configurations
>> traffic light (LED):
> Green LED - indication of 230V AC supply voltage on LN terminals
> LED red:
- pulsating signalling (without delay) - the set (set) actuation threshold is exceeded
- continuous light - the level of the measured illuminance is between the settings on
knobs
> Blue LED - changeover indication - switching on (contact 1-2), disconnection (contact 2-3)
>> 35mm rail mount - one 18mm module.
The TS-42-3 CONTROLLER uses a specialized OMRON G2RL-1-E-HR relay, designed to switch various
types of lighting lamps. The special design of the relay enables effective switching of lamps with an inrush
current up to 100 A.

III. Installation
The TS-42-3 TWILIGHT SWITCH may only be connected by a person authorized to operate electrical
installations. Remember to choose the right protection.
On the front panel of the TS-42 CONTROLLER, there are three information LEDs: green, red, blue and two
knobs for setting the activation thresholds in the ranges from 1 to 100 lux. There are connection diagrams and
regulation characteristics on the side walls of the TS-42-3 CONTROLLER.
In order to connect the TS-42-3 TWILIGHT SWITCHyou should: .....
1. mount the TS-42 CONTROLLER in the switchboard on a 35 mm rail
2. Fix the SENSOR on a vertical wall with two screws.
Lead the connection cable into the box from the bottom through the PG9 gland
and connect to the terminal block. After mounting and screwing
cables to the terminal strip, tightly screw the PG9 gland.

3. Connect the wires in accordance with the diagram (fig. 2)
4. Turn on the supply voltage - the green LED will light up and the red and blue LEDs will blink twice
5. set the activation thresholds.
When, during dimming, the level set on the ON knob is exceeded, the red LED will start to “blink” (without
delay), and after approx. 60 seconds the operating relay will switch, which will be signalled by the blue LED.
The activation delay of 60s should be counted from the moment of stable flashing of the red LED.
Using the control knobs, set the desired value of the switch-on threshold ON and switch-off OFF. Check the
operation of the TS-42-3 TWILIGHT SWITCH and, if necessary, correct the setting in real conditions (in the
evening and in the morning). A red LED shining with a constant signal informs that the intensity of illumination
falling on the sensor is in the range between the set positions of the knobs. In order for the TWILGHT SWITCH
to work properly, the measured intensity ego lighting at night must be lower than the lowest setting, then the
red LED will go out.
It should be remembered that the optimal setting of the activation thresholds has an impact on the costs of
electricity used and contributes to the protection of the environment.
In order to limit the impact of temporary large changes in lighting, for example, car lamps, lightning flash,
etc. on the operation of the TWILIGHT SWITCH, an actuation delay (approx. 60s) has been applied.
When setting the activation thresholds ON, OFF, remember that on a sunny day, covering the sensor with a
bare hand may not be sufficient. Then you should cover the SENSOR more effectively.
The pictorial diagram of the TS-42-3 TWILIGHT SWITCH operation principle is shown in Fig. 3.
NOTE: Avoid mounting the SENSOR directly in the light beam of the lamp being switched on, because lighting
with the SENSOR lamp may interfere with operation - the lamp will be switched on periodically
and turned off from evening until morning. This effect will not occur if the threshold on the OFF knob is set
higher than the illuminance level of the lamp that illuminates the sensor.

Why is it worth using for ECOLOGICAL and ECONOMICAL lighting control
TWILIGHT AUTOMATIC TS-42 series.
In general, lighting should be turned on optimally, that is, turned on when it is dark enough and turned off when
it is bright enough. Seemingly simple, but not entirely.
The correct lighting control is influenced by:
>> changeable weather conditions
>> switch on threshold setting
>> switch off threshold setting
>> hysteresis
>> characteristics of the illuminance measurement sensor
>> regulatory characteristics
CHANGING ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
The weather conditions at sunrise and sunset vary throughout the year. Sunrises and sunsets are slow-
changing phenomena, and with cloudy twilight and sunrise, the intensity of lighting changes in a random and
unpredictable manner. A TWILIGHT SWITCH should be designed to take this into account.
SENSOR POSITIONING
THE TWILIGHT SWITCH LIGHT SENSOR is usually mounted where there is a lamp or a convenient place for
installation. Most often, we do not have much choice as to the direction of the sun's incidence on the sensor
(north, south, east, west). Therefore, the possibility of independently set activation and deactivation thresholds
corrects such a situation and enables the selection of optimal actuation parameters.
HYSTERESIS
Each typical TWILIGHT SWITCH has a hysteresis, which means that if we set the switch-on threshold (in the
evening) 30 lux, the switch-off threshold (in the morning) will be at OFF = 2 x ON, i.e. 60 lux. Too little
hysteresis will result in uncontrolled switching on and off of the lighting along with the change of weather
conditions. This is an undesirable effect, and even unacceptable with some lamps.
