Square D® Clipsal®
Outdoor Light-Level
Sensor
Square D® Clipsal® Outdoor Light-Level Sensor measures
ambient light levels and automatically issues ON/OFF or ramp
commands over a C-Bus™ network to maintain outdoor lighting
levels. Primarily designed for outdoor use, this light-level sensor
is also suitable for indoor settings in which a weather-resistant
casing is desirable.
The light-level sensor can control up to two C-Bus group
addresses: one address controls ON/OFF switching of a lamp
circuit according to a pre-determined ambient light level, while
the other is used to continuously regulate the light-level output
of any number of lamps.
The target light level, the margin, and other sensor options are
easily configured by using the C-Bus Toolkit software.
