ELECTRONIC DIRECT WIRE-IN PHOTOCONTROLS

"The Performance of an Electronic Twist-lock in a Button Control"

Printable version

DESCRIPTION

B Series electronic “button type” photocontrols have the same features and performance of electronic twist-lock photocontrols. Energy efficiency is maintained with tight On/Off ratios and “non-drift operation”. Maintenance costs are reduced through a cool running DC circuit. Life expectency is up to three times longer than traditional heat generating thermal relay designs. The B Series uses the same field proven electronic circuit design as is used in Sun-Tech high performance twist-lock photocontrols.


FEATURES
  • Meets or exceeds ANSI C136.10.
  • Proven DC circuit design.
  • Close 1:1.5 on to off operating ratio.
  • Non-chatter load break.
  • Surge Protected Electronic Circuit.
  • 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.
  • Extended life and accuracy from non-drift operation throughout its life.
  • Significantly reduced energy costs.
  • Significantly reduced maintenance costs.
