DIGITAL LIGHTING CONTROLLER
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK – More than
one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the
equipment before servicing. Disconnect power at main
panel prior to installing or servicing this lighting control or
the equipment connected to it. Connect in accordance with
national and local electrical codes.
INSTALLATION:
UNIT IS TO BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
1. Remove unit cover before installing the unit.
2. Lift the deadfront above stud at top side and swing left
to access the bottom holes for mounting.
3. Bring in the low voltage wires from the EPC2, remote
override, and 24VDC output to the left compartment of
the unit and bring in all line voltage wires to the right
side of the compartment.
4. Do not run low voltage wires and line wires through
the same conduit.
5. Follow all loal and NEC codes when wiring the unit.
6. Replace the deadfront after wiring and secure it in
place.
7. When attaching conduit to enclosure, exercise care to
align and support conduit in order to prevent unneces-
sary stress on enclosure.
8. Install 9V lithium battery supplied with the unit. Note:
Unit should be connected to AC power within 24 hours
of battery installation in order to prolong battery life
which has a 6 month cumulative backup for real time
and 7-10 year shelf life. REPLACE WITH ANOTHER 9V
NON-RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY ONLY.
GROUNDING:
Ensure that grounding is continuous and in proper electrical
contact in all grounding conductors, metallic conduits and
grounding terminals, and that the minimum size copper
grounding conductors are #10 AWG if the circuit breaker
or fuse is 30 or 40 amps, #12 AWG if 20 amps, and #14
AWG if 15 amps, according to National Electrical Code.

SELECTION OF FUNCTION MODES AND LIGHT
LEVEL SETTINGS:
Each channel can be assigned via the slide switches to one
of three distinct function modes:
1. Time ON/Time OFF
2. Light level (photo) ON/Time OFF
3. Light level (photo) ON/Light level (photo) OFF
NOTE: Photosensor has instant ON and 20 seconds OFF
delay.
1. In Time ON/Time OFF Mode (figure 1) the channel is
controlled by timer functions and light level is irrele-
vant. All events are executed by the timer schedule. For
programming the timer, refer to section 6.0.
2. In Photo ON/Time OFF Mode (Figure 2, Arrow 2),
channel will turn ON and OFF based on the combina-
tion of timer and light level settings. Note: 2 conditions
must be met for the channel to turn ON. 1) The ambient
light level falls below the ON fc setting (Arrow 3) and
2) the channel is scheduled to be ON at that time. Typi-
cally an OFF time setting for during the night will be set
by the user. Otherwise, the channel will turn OFF when
the ambient light comes above the “OFF fc” light level
setting (Arrow 4). This mode permits the channel to turn
OFF and ON as many times as needed, in the period
between SUNSET and SUNRISE. In this illustration, the
light level for ON fc is about 10 Foot-Candles, and the
light level for OFF fc is about 100 Foot-Candles. Refer
to the section 6.0 “Scheduling ON’s/OFF’s.”
3. Photo ON/Photo OFF Mode: (Figure 3, Arrow 5) chan-
nels that are in this mode will turn ON and OFF based
on the light level settings. The timer settings will be
ignored in this mode: All programs either ON or OFF
will not be executed.
A channel will turn ON when light level is below the
ON fc light level setting for that channel (Arrow 6). The
channel will then turn OFF when light level goes above
the OFF fc setting for that channel (Arrow 7).
In this illustration, the light level for ON fc is about 30 Foot-
Candles, and the light level for OFF fc is about 10 Foot-
Candles.
Set both the ON fc and OFF fc light levels (using a small
screwdriver) for every channel which the slide switch is
in the PHOTO ON/TIME OFF or PHOTO ON/PHOTO OFF
position.

Maintained Input, Remote Override:
Each channel has an isolated contact closure remote over-
ride input. This input can be used for “after hour” needs.
For maintained override using a standard toggle switch,
wiring can be connected to the input for each channel
(in this illustration, Channel 1 (Arrow 8), and the COM
terminals (Arrow 9). For timed override using TORK’s
SSA100R-24 the 24 VDC supply on the terminal block can
deliver up to 500 mA of current, which eliminates the need
for separate power supplies. The positive voltage connects
to the +24VDC terminal (Arrow 10) and the ground con-
nects to the GND terminal (Arrow 11). The other 2 wires
from the SSA100R-24 connect to a channel’s remote over-
ride and a COM.
NOTE:
1. Use only EPC2 low voltage light sensor and connect at
terminal marked EPC2.
2. DO NOT run EPC2, remote override and 24VDC wires
along with high voltage wires.
3. EPC2 Sensor has instant ON and 20 seconds OFF
delay.
4. DO NOT apply external voltage to EPC2 and remote
override.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE UNIT

date information has been entered. In any other mode,
if no entryis made for 5 minutes, the unit will automati-
cally revert to the run mode.
3. Unit will display “PF” (Power Failure) in the absence of
AC power.
4. When previously programmed unit comes back from
a power failure, it will “look back” and update the
schedule, executing the last scheduled event. Settings
can be manually updated by pressing the EVENT key in
the run mode.
After pressing ENTER the unit will display:
