Fotosensor de entrada de contacto para exteriores

General Information

The Outdoor Contact Input Photosensor (PPS-5) can be 

used with any Greengate lighting controller. It is made 

with a weatherproof casing allowing outdoor application 

and can operate with temperatures from -40º to 158º F.
The photosensor is powered directly from the Greengate 

Lighting Controller 24VDC peripheral power terminal.

Getting Started

1.  Do not discard these installation instructions. Please 

keep for future reference and operation information.

2.  It is recommended that all low voltage wiring be 

done with power removed to the logic board to 

protect components from potential shorts during the 

wiring process.

1.  Use only as intended and at the listed voltage.
2.  All installation and service must be performed by 

qualified personnel or service technicians.

3.  Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code 

and any other codes which may apply.

4.  Installation and wiring information contained in this 

document is based on industry-accepted standards 

and practices. If conflicts exist between these 

instructions and any applicable codes or ordinances, 

please contact Greengate before proceeding with the 

installation.

5.  High voltage is present inside the lighting enclosure. 

Use extreme caution when performing maintenance 

on this equipment.

6.  Document all wiring and device terminations and 

locations so that devices can be properly configured 

and programmed for operation.

Mounting Detail

Position the sensor so that the sensor window is north 

facing and is not viewing artificial light from the controlled 

load.
Mount the sensor on any approved weatherproof outdoor 

box. Mounting stem screws into ½” – 14 threaded hole. 

It can also be mounted in a ½” knockout ( 7/8” hole). 

Make certain that connection is weather tight by using 

suitable tape or sealant on the threading.

Wiring Detail

All low voltage wiring is Class 2 wiring. All low voltage 

wiring must be run in separate conduit from line voltage 

wiring. Failure to separate high voltage from low voltage 

wiring may cause interference with lighting controller or 

motion sensor function. Low voltage wiring must enter 

the Greengate lighting controller enclosure through the 

low voltage section of the enclosure. 
Cabling should be 18 AWG twisted, three-conductor, 

unshielded cable. Maximum length for dry contact closure 

device wiring is 1000 feet.

Wiring the PPS-5 to a Lighting Controller

The PPS-5 photosensor wires to the low voltage switch 

input channels on the lighting controller’s logic board.
1.  Connect the White wire to the ON of the input 

channel.

2.  Connect the Red wire to the +24 VDC of the input 

channel.

3.  Connect the Black wire to the Ground (GND) 

connection on the peripheral power terminal.
