Setup u Installazzjoni
TWISSIJA: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or a person with knowledge of electrical wiring. Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock.
- Skonnettjar tal-Enerġija: Turn off the power to the circuit at the main electrical panel before starting any work.
- Post tal-Immuntar: Select a mounting location that allows the photocell sensor to receive natural light without obstruction from artificial light sources (e.g., the light it controls, streetlights) at night. The swivel feature allows for aiming the sensor away from such interference.
- Ipprepara Kaxxa Elettrika: The unit connects directly to an electrical box using a standard 1/2-inch pipe thread. Ensure the electrical box is properly installed and secured.
- Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring:
- Qabbad il- wajer iswed from the light control to the incoming hot (line) wire mis-sors tal-enerġija.
- Qabbad il- wajer aħmar from the light control to the hot (load) wire of the light fixture.
- Qabbad il- wajer abjad from the light control to the wajer newtrali from the power source and the light fixture.
- Secure all connections with appropriate wire nuts.
- Assigura l-Unità: Thread the light control unit into the electrical box opening and secure it with the provided nut.
- Adjust Sensor Position: Utilize the swivel feature to aim the photocell sensor towards an area that receives natural light and is not affected by the controlled light fixture or other artificial light at night.
- Irrestawra l-Enerġija: Ladarba l-konnessjonijiet kollha jkunu siguri u l-unità tkun immuntata, erġa' daħħal l-enerġija fis-circuit breaker.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The Westek SW103CTC-4 operates automatically based on ambient light levels. No manual intervention is typically required after installation.
- Dusk Activation: As natural light diminishes at dusk, the photocell sensor will detect the reduced light level and automatically turn on the connected light fixture.
- Dawn Deactivation: As natural light increases at dawn, the photocell sensor will detect the increased light level and automatically turn off the connected light fixture.
- Dewmien Inizjali: Mal-ewwel tixgħel jew wara li tintefa' l-enerġijatage, the unit may have a brief delay (a few minutes) before it begins normal operation. This is a standard function to prevent false triggers.
Manutenzjoni
The Westek SW103CTC-4 requires minimal maintenance.
- Tindif tas-Sensor: Periodically inspect the photocell sensor for dirt, dust, or debris accumulation. Gently wipe the sensor lens with a soft, clean cloth to ensure accurate light detection.
- Fatturi Ambjentali: Ensure that no new obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new structures) block natural light from reaching the sensor or that new artificial light sources interfere with its operation.
- Integrità tal-Wiring: Occasionally check the wiring connections for any signs of wear or corrosion, especially in harsh outdoor environments.
