Photocell switch 16A for surface mounting ETS-16B 002471102

Twilight switch – intelligent lighting control

This twilight switch from ETI, model ETS-16B, is a reliable solution for automatically turning lights on and off depending on the light intensity. It is ideal for both home and commercial installations, providing convenience and energy savings. The device is designed for surface mounting and features a high degree of protection IP65, allowing it to be used in outdoor conditions.

Functionality and application

The ETS-16B switch reacts to changes in light intensity, turning on the lights when the brightness drops below 2 lx and turning them off when the intensity exceeds 50 lx. This ensures comfort and safety by automatically illuminating the area after dark. A 20-second on/off delay minimizes the risk of unnecessary switching of lights during temporary changes in brightness. A wide nominal voltage range (230 V) makes it compatible with most electrical installations.

Construction and technical parameters

The housing made of durable thermoplastic provides durability and resistance to weather conditions. The hermetic construction (IP65) protects against moisture and dust, which is particularly important for outdoor mounting. Equipped with a normally open (NO) contact, it allows easy connection to existing lighting circuits. The maximum switching current is 16 A, which allows controlling various types of light sources. The device is halogen-free, which increases its safety and minimizes the emission of harmful substances in the event of a fire. The rated voltage is 230 V, the brightness threshold for switching on is 2-2 lx, and for switching off 50-50 lx. The on and off delay is 20 seconds, and the degree of protection is IP65. The housing is made of thermoplastic and is surface mounted.

Benefits of use

• Automation: Automatic turning on and off of lights eliminates the need for manual operation.
• Energy saving: Lighting is only turned on when it is actually needed, which translates into lower electricity bills.
• Convenience: Provides comfort, especially in hard-to-reach places or requiring frequent use of lighting.
• Safety: Automatic lighting increases safety, especially after dark.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials, guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Weather resistance: The IP65 protection class allows mounting outdoors without fear of damage caused by moisture or dust.
