JL-243F 0~10V Dimming Smart Photocontrol for Outdoor LED Lighting

Product Summary

The dimming photocontrol JL-241/242/243 series is applicable to control the dimmable LED street lighting (0~10V) automatically in accordance with the ambient natural lighting level. This product is designed with microprocessor circuits with IR-filtered phototransistor.

A heavy duty surge arrester (MOV) is provided to protect the lamp from inrush current as well as impulse by lightening.

Further, a preset 10 seconds time-delay prevents excessive operation due to spotlight or lightning during the night time.

It provides constant reliability as the relay has sufficient work life of over 10,000 cycles, and offers extra long work life when a sandwich cover option is applied together.

This product provides twist lock terminals meeting the requirements of ANSI C136.41 as well as being listed by UL under the Standard for Plug-In, Locking Type Photocontrols for Use with Area Lighting ANSI/UL773.

Features

• ANSI C136.41 Twist-lock
• 0~10V Dimming
• Surge protection level: 6KV/3KA differential mode
• Optional Sandwich cover for Long Life
• Multi-Volts Application
• IP65 Ready / IP67 Optional
• IR-filtered Phototransistor
• Constant On/Off Dimming
• Midnight Dimming (JL-242、JL-243)
• LED Decay Compensation（JL-243）

Constant On/Off Dimming Standard program for LED output keeping the field lit with constant lighting level, in accordance with the natural sunlight level detected. When the natural lighting is higher than 110% of the rated level, hot line will be disconnected to keep LED fixture as zero consumption

Midnight Dimming Standard program for LED output lowered to a customized percentage to save power after midnight until about 1 hour before dawn time, as well as reduce light pollution to environment.（Calculation method of night length：Moving average of night length in the first eight days）

LED Decay Compensation Standard program for LED output partially reserved and to be used for compensating decay over a work time up to 13 years. It will extend the work life of a LED fixture significantly.

Available JL-243C only.

Specifications

Installation

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

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

Adjust the receptacle position if necessary, to ensure the Photocell facing the NORTH direction as indicated on the top of the photocontrol.

Initial Testing

• The Photocontrol turnsoff immediately when initially
• 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 tokeep the Photocontrol off.
• photocontrol test will take approximately 2 minutes.

* Operation of this Photocontrol is not affected by weather, moisture or temperature changes.
