HPM PE170R2 Programmable Weatherproof Light Sensitive Switch

HPM has added the Programmable Weatherproof Light Sensitive Switch (PE170R2) to its outdoor light-sensitive switch range.

Unlike conventional light-sensitive switches which work on a time delay from sunset, the product allows an off-time to be defined to remain consistent all year, regardless of seasonal changes in sunrise or sunset times.

Engineered with a built-in algorithm that controls and maintains the nominated off-time, adjustments can be made using a dial system in 30-min increments or for dawn, which is natural light dependent.

Suitable for commercial and multiresidential premises, the switch is compatible with the existing HPM Weatherproof Light Sensitive Switch (PE170/10) mountain base for simple retrofitting. The product has been upgraded to include better screw terminal connectors, a larger internal cavity for cable management and a more suitable cover design.

Other features include: an adjustable lux setting (for on-time); non-volatile memory to ensure the program is restored after power loss; and multiple side and back cable entries for easy wiring.

The switch has the weatherproof rating IP56.
