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.

The factory-confirmed default time delay for JL-243F is 10 seconds. Confirm any customized delay in the order configuration.

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 series uses an ANSI C136.41 twist-lock interface. Request the applicable UL listing or recognition record for the exact JL-243F model and configuration before specifying certification; a reference to ANSI/UL 773 alone does not establish certification.

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.

Outdoor performance depends on the specified operating conditions and complete controller, receptacle and seal assembly. Follow the exact model installation instructions.

JL-243F Selection FAQs

Which voltage version should I specify?

The existing series table identifies the F version as 480VAC rated. Confirm the exact suffix, permitted operating range and LED driver compatibility in the current JL-243F datasheet before ordering; the C and E columns describe other versions.

Does this page confirm every series dimming function for JL-243F?

No. The page includes a C-version function table and describes LED decay compensation as available on JL-243C only. Request written confirmation of the JL-243F dimming program, thresholds and delay; do not transfer C-version functions automatically to the F version.

How do I confirm outdoor protection and compatibility?

Confirm the specified IP configuration, surge test conditions, mating NEMA receptacle and LED driver inrush rating for the complete installation. Optional ratings and component ratings should not be treated as a guarantee for every assembly.

Model-specific document review

The supplied UDEM attestation M.2022.206.C77904 lists JL-243F under its EMC and low-voltage scope, with registration on 28 September 2022 and a stated expiry of 27 September 2027. Review the exact configuration, supporting reports CTB220711005EX and CTB220829036SX, and the manufacturer’s declaration for the intended project.

The separate 2019 EMC report CTB190925031EX tests JL-241 and lists JL-243 among its series models. It is a dated test report for the tested configuration; it does not independently establish the exact JL-243F configuration.
