2.1

POWER SUPPLY CONTROL CABINET MOUNTING

The power supply control cabinet can be located at the base of the structure or in an
equipment building. Mounting Dimensions can be found in Section 1.2 on page 1.
Pay particular attention when choosing your controller mounting location to ensure
proper door opening and room for service personnel. Refer to installation drawings
INS-269 and HDO-269 for ease of install.
2.2

PHOTOCELL HOUSING

The standard photocell housing is supplied with a 20' pigtail of 16 AWG TYPE TFFN
wire. On occasion in mounting of the photocell an additional amount of wire may be
required. Refer to drawing 100239 for proper assistance on determining gauge of
wire for your specific needs.
2.3 PHOTOCELL WIRING (Refer to Drawings HDO-269 and H40-269)
If the control cabinet is mounted inside an equipment building, the photocell should
be mounted vertically on ½" conduit outside the building above the eaves facing
north. Wiring from the photocell housing socket to the control cabinet should consist
of one (1) each; red, black, and white wires. The white wire is connected to the
socket terminal marked "COM," the black wire is connected to the socket terminal
marked "B," and the red wire is connected to the socket terminal marked "R." These
socket connections are made by using .25" quick connect terminals, which must be
crimped to the wires. The photocell should be positioned so that it does not "see"
ambient light, which would prevent it from switching to the nightmode. If the control
cabinet is mounted outside an equipment building, the photocell should be mounted
vertically on ½" conduit so the photocell is above the control cabinet. Care must be
taken to assure that the photocell does not "see" any ambient light that would
