  1. Przygotuj przewody: Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of all wires (photocell, incoming power, and light fixture wires).
  2. Podłącz przewody neutralne: Połącz biały przewód from the photocell to the incoming przewód biały (neutralny) from your power source and the przewód biały (neutralny) of your light fixture. Secure with a wire nut.
  3. Connect Line (Hot) Wire: Połącz czarny drut from the photocell to the incoming black (hot/line) wire from your power source. Secure with a wire nut.
  4. Podłącz przewód obciążeniowy: Połącz czerwony przewód from the photocell to the black (hot/load) wire of your light fixture. Secure with a wire nut.
  5. Bezpieczne połączenia: Ensure all wire nuts are tight and connections are secure. Wrap each wire nut with electrical tape for added insulation and protection.
  6. Mount Photocell: Mount the photocell in a location where it will receive natural daylight and is not obstructed by shadows or artificial light sources (e.g., other lights, car headlights) that could interfere with its operation. If installing outdoors, ensure it is within a suitable weather-resistant enclosure.
  7. Przywróć zasilanie: Once all connections are secure and the photocell is mounted, restore power at the circuit breaker.

6. Działanie

The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control operates automatically based on ambient light levels:

  • At Dusk: When natural light levels fall below a certain threshold, the photocell will detect darkness and activate the connected light fixture.
  • At Dawn: When natural light levels rise above a certain threshold, the photocell will detect sufficient light and deactivate the connected light fixture.

There is an intentional delay in the switching mechanism (typically a few seconds to a few minutes) to prevent the light from cycling on and off due to temporary shadows, car headlights, or lightning flashes.

The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control requires minimal maintenance:

  • Periodically inspect the photocell sensor for any dirt, dust, or debris that might obstruct its view of ambient light. Gently clean the sensor with a soft, damp jeśli to konieczne, szmatkę.
  • Ensure the area around the sensor remains clear of obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new decorations) that could block natural light.
  • Check wiring connections annually for any signs of wear or corrosion, especially in outdoor installations.
