INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Specication
1. Carefully choose the correct position to install the photocell kit considering the following guide lines:
• Where possible there should be a clear view of the sky, allowing sucient distance when mounting under eves.
• For optimum performance the position chosen should have a clear view of north.
• Be away from view of any articial light source.
• Be away from view of the light source the unit is to control.
2. Securely x the base holder to a vertical wall so that the head will be facing up when tted.
3. Fit the gasket into the base holder foam side up.
4. Enter the supply & load cable into the base through the hole in the bottom of the base ensuring that a cable gland grommet or sealing compound is used
to maintain the IP rating of the unit.
5. Terminate the cable into the Nema socket observing the correct connections;
“li” = live (supply in)
“lo”= load (supply out)
“n” = neutral (the neutral to the load does not need to pass through the unit and can be taken directly).
6. Place the Nema socket into the base holder with the arrow printed on the socket pointing towards north. If north is located behind the unit towards the
mounting surface then the arrow should be aligned pointing in the direction of best natural light.
7. The base holder has 2 locating pins for the Nema socket to t onto, the Nema socket should then be secured using the 2 counter sunk self tapping screws
provided.
8. Align the largest of the 3 brass feet marked ‘neutral’ on the photocell head with the largest slot in the nema socket, push the photocell head into the Nema
socket and gently turn clockwise to lock into place.
