JL-206 Digital Electronic Photocontrol

Product Summary

The photocontrol JL-206 series is applicable to control the street lighting, garden lighting,

passage lighting and doorway lighting automatically in accordance with the ambient

natural lighting level, with saving energy feature at dawn.

This product is designed with microprocessor circuits with IR-filtered phototransistor and a

surge arrester (MOV) is provided.

Further, a preset 5-20 seconds time-delay might avoid redundancy operation due to

spotlight or lightning during the night time.

The long-life version can maintain constant and reliable characteristics. The relay can have

more than 10000 working life cycles. When the double-layer protective shell is installed, it

can provide a longer working life for JL-206.The HP version provides a higher load.

This product provides Twist-lock terminals meeting the requirements of ANSI C136.10 and

the Standard for Plug-In, Locking Type Photocontrols for Use with Area Lighting

ANSI/UL773

Installation

Disconnect power; wire the receptacle according to the diagram below.

Push the photocontrol on and twist it clockwise to lock it into the receptacle.

Install the photocontrol with the Photocell facing the NORTH direction as indicated on the

top of the photocontrol.

Adjust the receptacle position if necessary.

Initial Testing

 It is normal for the Photocontrol to take few minutes to turn off when first installed.

 To test “turn on” during daytime, cover its eye with opaque material.

 Do not cover with finger because light traveling through fingers may be great enough to

keep the Photocontrol off.

 photocontrol test will take approximately 2 minutes.

 Do not repeat test for over 4 hours.

Outdoor operation depends on the specified temperature, humidity, ingress protection and complete installation. Confirm the exact model operating limits.

JL-206 key parameters

Values as printed in the JL-206 EN 2305V5 datasheet. The datasheet certification row carries no certificate number; this table is a manufacturer declaration, not a certificate. Per-model voltage and load mapping remains in the model chart.

JL-206 Selection FAQs

Which fail mode and voltage version should I order?

The series offers fail-on/fail-off modes and multiple configuration options. Confirm the complete ordering code, supply voltage, load rating, delay and fail mode in the written specification; not every JL-206 unit includes every option.

Does the twist-lock interface provide dimming?

The description identifies an ANSI C136.10 twist-lock photocontrol. Do not infer a 0-10V or DALI dimming interface from the mounting format. Confirm the switching behaviour and mating receptacle for the exact model.

What should be verified for the long-life or HP version?

Confirm the selected cover, HP load configuration, LED driver inrush, surge test conditions and IP assembly documentation. Lifetime descriptions and references to standards do not replace model-specific test or certification records.
