S Series

CADMIUM SULFIDE SENSOR
SOLID STATE PHOTOCONTROLS

"Optimum Performance with Human Eye Response"

Printable version

DESCRIPTION

S Series electronic photocontrols have a spectral response that mirrors that of the human eye. Tight On /Off ratios and a cadmium sulfide sensor with minimal sensitivity to invisible light (ultra-violet & infra-red) provide energy savings from minimal burning hours. S Series units have extended life due to non-chatter operation at load break and having the cadmium sulfide sensor operate in a low voltage DC electronic circuit.


FEATURES
  • Meets or exceeds ANSI C136.10.
  • Proven DC circuit design.
  • Close 1:1.5 on to off operating ratio.
  • Non-chatter load break.
  • Light level sensing with a spectral response similar to visible light (not sensitive to UV & IR).
  • Heavy duty construction.

BENEFITS
  • 12 year expected life.
  • Low power consumption and extended life from "cool" operating DC circuit.
  • Close ratio reduces burning hours at sunrise.
  • Reduced burning with minimal affect of UV & IR.
  • Significantly reduced energy costs.
  • Significantly reduced maintenance costs.
