C7057

Cadmium Sulfide Photocell

APPLICATION

The C7057 Cadmium Sulfide Photocell is used to sense 
ambient light levels. It is used as the sensing element for 
the CR7075A Lighting Controller which can provide 
on/off control of two separate lighting banks based on 
user determined ambient light intensity levels. Typical 
applications include outdoor cosmetic and parking lot 
lighting in fast food restaurants retail establishments, 
supermarkets, banks and lighted billboards.

Dimensions (Fig. 1)

Fig. 1. C7057 approximate dimensions in in. (mm).

Before Installation

IMPORTANT

Expose the photocell to light for 16 hours.

The photocells develop a hysteresis (or “light memory”) 
when packed for shipping. Until the photocell has been 
exposed to bright light for at least 16 hours, light level 
setpoints will shift.

Location

Locate the photocell sensor so that the lens is exposed 
to full daylight. (See Fig. 2.)

NOTES:

Select an area which will not become shaded.

Mount 

only

 with light entrance facing 

horizontally.

Avoid overexposure to direct east/west 
sunlight.

Mounting

IMPORTANT

Mount the photocell sensor to the top of a 
watertight, outdoor FS junction box.

1.

Use the gasket provided to prevent moisture entry.

2.

Screw stem into 1/2-14 threaded knockout.

NOTE: The photocell sensor can be mounted in a 

7/8 in. hole (or knockout).

Wiring

CAUTION

Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage 
Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment 
circuitry.

Disconnect power supply before installation.

IMPORTANT

• All wiring must agree with applicable codes, 

ordinances and regulations.

• When wiring the input power, apply only one 

source of power to the CR7505A.

• With line-voltage loads, the power and load 

voltage must be the same.

Refer to chart on the inside of the controller cover or 
Fig. 3 for locating the power inputs, photocell sensor 
inputs, TOD and load relay terminals.
