2. In this setup, the LAMP output will be ON when the gate is open, and will
turn OFF 1 minute after the gate is closed.

Note: D1 board is designed with a Lamp Photocell (bottom right side of D1 board), so
that Lamp Relay will NOT be activated in Bright Ambient.
When connected to Pillar Lights, this design prevents the Pillar Light from turning
ON during the Day.
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.
If you wish that the Pillar Lights to 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.
Point the lamp photocell to the side Gills of the supplied box for ambient light
detection.
