3.2.3 Photocell If included in the system, the ambient light sensor (photocell) should be mounted upright, away from artificial light (such as floodlights), and in a location that will enable its sensor window to have an unobstructed view of the polar sky (eg., pointed north in the northern hemisphere). Make the connection of the external photocell and the power supply to TB1 in the power supply as per figure 3-1 page 18.
