MOUNTING Insert prongs of Photo Control into female socket
and twist in clock-wise direction with slight pressure until unit is
secure. "Eye" (window in plastic housing) should be oriented in a
northerly direction, if possible, for best operating results, and
should be positioned so as to be unaffected by the controlled
light, auto headlights, window lights, signs, etc.
Wattage of controlled lights cannot exceed rated capacity
of Photo Control.
NOTE: Mount unit so that top of case is in an upright position.
TESTING: Make sure circuit is clear of shorts before applying
power. Cover "EYE" with hand to activate unit. Repeat several
times. Under extremely bright light it may be necessary to place
an opaque item over the entire unit to activate it. Slight buzz from
unit does not impair operation.

Common problems - read first!
1. Do not face the photocell into the midday sun. If installed
on the south side of a building, face east or west or point the
photo control down toward the ground. The best direction to
face the photo control is north.
2. Do not face the photocell where it can see artificial light.
Light from windows, signs, street lights, etc., will cause the
photo control not to switch on. The photo control should not
be positioned so that it sees the light it is controlling (or
reflected light). These conditions will cause the light to cycle
on and off.
3. When you are testing the photo control, be sure to turn
on the power (load will come on) and wait up to 5
minutes for photocell to switch load off. For further testing
cover the photo control completely with black tape or another
dark material to simulate night conditions. If you can't cover
the control with tape, try covering the photo control with the
shipping carton to simulate night conditions.
