External Light connection:
D1 Arm gate Board has a 12Vdc output on the Lamp Relay Terminal. Left
terminal is negative and right is positive. This output is to energize an
EXTERNAL 12Vdc relay which in turn can be used to turn on /off a higher
rating electrical item such as a Pillar Light.
Warning:
All 240V wiring MUST be done by a qualified electrical person.
1. Set Dip Switch [3] and [4] to OFF Position. Active for 1min.
2. Connect a 12Vdc relay as is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Connection of 12Vdc Relay for 240V lights
Note: D1 board is designed with a Lamp Photocell (bottom right side of D1
board), so that Lamp Relay will be activated only in a dark ambient
environment.
In a bright ambient, the Lamp Relay is not activated in the Opening Cycle of
the Arm (Green LED). This is due to the fact that the Lamp Photocell is
exposed to significant lighting.
When connected to Pillar Lights, this design prevents the Pillar Light from
turning ON during the Day.
If you wish that the Pillar Lights be turned on, irrespective of the ambient
lighting, use a Dark Tape to cover the Lamp Photocell or turn the Photocell
inwards when mounted in the Control Box.
Lamp Relay Activated when Lamp Photocell is covered (black-out).
Please note however, that due to the different lighting intensity, direction of
lights, reflection etc in the Control Panel Box, it is possible that that Lamp
Relay is activated even if the external ambient is significantly bright.
Point the lamp photocell to the side Gills of the supplied box for ambient light
detection.
