Fig. 2. Vertical mounting configuration.

NOTES:

The photocell sensor has no polarity.

Wire to terminal strip T2, terminals 4 and 5.

Access to terminals can be gained through 
standard conduit knockouts (A-E) located 
around the perimeter of the enclosure.

Use knockout A only for the photocell sensor 
and TOD wiring.

Photocell wires should be at least 18 AWG 
two conductor. If not run in watertight conduit, 
use suitable outdoor wiring insulation.

Shielded wiring is not required.

OPERATION AND CHECKOUT

In the following procedures, refer to the diagram inside 
the CR7075A cover or Fig. 3. These show locations of 
all operating controls, LED lights, and wiring connection 
points.

Initial Adjustments

1.

Adjust both light level potentiometers to the fully 
clockwise position (#1 index level).

2.

Place the SET-RUN switch to the RUN position.

Fig. 3. Wiring for 120 Vac input; 24 Vac load.

Calibration

After the controller and photocell sensor are installed 
(with wiring and settings verified), and the photocell has 

been exposed to light for 16 hours, apply power. The light 
intensity threshold levels can be calibrated when the 
desired outdoor light level has occurred.

NOTES:

Calibration achieves best results when 
making adjustments at or near the light 
conditions required for equipment switching.

Calibrating at extreme light conditions can 
cause switching to be unachievable.

1.

At the desired outdoor light level place SET-RUN
switch to the SET position.

2.

Slowly rotate stage 1 light level potentiometer 
counterclockwise until the stage 1 LED lights.

3.

Stage 1 is now calibrated to the light level existing 
at the sensor and the stage 1 load is energized.

4.

Return the SET-RUN switch to the RUN position.

NOTE: To calibrate stage 2, repeat this process 

except adjust the stage 2 light level 
potentiometer.

IMPORTANT

After initial setup is complete, make certain the 
switch is in the RUN position to avoid short 
cycling the loads.

NOTE: The SET-RUN switch removes the integrating 

time delay (short-cycle protection) circuitry in 
the SET position. In the RUN position (normal 
operation) the calibrated light level must be 
present for 30 seconds before the load 
switches.
