Sunset Switch 3 Wire IP66 240V 10A Dusk to Dawn Default Setting Timer and Light Level Setup Option Grey

Sunset Switches Premium

• Sunset switches automatically switch lights on when the ambient light level falls below a predetermined level.

• The 56SSR is surface mounting but can be adapted to flush mounting by using 56FA surrounds and brackets.

• The 56SSR allows control of a 10A load current in a two wire configuration, therefore, eliminating the need for separate neutral at the switch. The 56SSR also incorporates a fully configurable timer with a remote-disable option.

• When correctly connected to a suitable supply and load, the 56SSR will turn the load on when the ambient light level is below approximately 10 lux. Similarly, the load will be turned off when the light level exceeds approximately 30 lux.

• Delays of approximately eight seconds on turnoff and 30 seconds on turn-on are incorporated into the circuit to reject the effects of short term changes in the light levels, which may otherwise turn the load on or off.

• The 56SSR is also equipped with a timer circuit which, if enabled, will turn the light off after a preset time delay. The time delay can be from 15 minutes to 15 hours and 45 minutes; set in 15 minute increments.

• The timer can be disabled by applying neutral potential to the terminal T1, in which case the status of the load is controlled only by the ambient light level. This feature provides a remote timer override function if required.

• Since the 56SSR Sunset Switch is a two wire product which does not require any power while the load is turned on, there is one specific aspect of its operation well worth noting. When power is applied to the sunset switch for the first time, it  will require up to 3.5 minutes to warm up. This behaviour is caused by the time delay required to charge an energy storage element within the unit.
