Photostat
Photostat controls are used to operate equipment based on a light intensity set point and light sensor read-
ing. A setpoint determines the target light intensity and a "deadband" determines the allowed drift from the
target before activating the photostat. When the light intensity returns to the target the photostat is de-
activated.
Example uses:
• Activate fans with high sunlight for pre-emtpive cooling
• Alarms
