nighttime light sources such as windows, porch lights, and
street lights.
Placing the sensor in areas receiving less sunlight at dusk
(east side of house, behind trees and bushes, under a deck)
will have the transformer come on earlier in the evening.
Mounting the photocell in brighter locations will have the
transformer come on when it has become darker out. The
location, position and orientation of the photocell can be
adjusted until the transformer turns on at the desired light
level.
If the wires to the photocell are cut or broken, the photocell
can be replaced. Unscrew the photocell connector cover
from the transformer and pull the bi-pin connector out of the
mating socket. The replacement part is inserted into the
socket and the cap is screwed back onto the socket to
provide a water tight connection. Note that the bi-pin
connector is polarized and can be inserted into the socket
only one way.
Replacement photocell is available in the store.
Cover the connection hole with the dust cap when no
photocell control wire is connected.
