SECTION 4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLLER
The controller begins programmed operation as soon as power is applied. The controller is shipped preconfigured
for your application. It is also field customizable.
MANUAL OVERRIDE OPTI ON
The unit’s operation can be controlled manually by toggling the manual MODE switch. Push the switch up for night
mode and down for day mode. The unit will stay in the selected mode for up to 30 minutes if switch is not
returned to the AUTO position. The corresponding mode LED (DAY MODE or NIGHT MODE) will blink during a
mode override. When the switch is in the center position the controller’s mode will be determined by the
connected photodiode’s reading of ambient lighting.
TOWER CONFIGURATIONS
The configuration switch bank offers the ability to program the controller for a variety of installation situations.
The system will come pre-programmed from the factory, but if reprogramming is desired, use the following table
to ensure proper operation.
