Photocell switch AWZ I=16A, hermetic enclosure, integrated connection box IP65

Dusk-to-dawn switch – intelligent lighting control

This dusk-to-dawn switch from F&F is a reliable solution for automatically turning on and off outdoor and indoor lighting depending on the light intensity. Ideal for use in homes, gardens, properties, as well as commercial facilities. The device features a hermetic housing (IP65), which provides protection against weather conditions and allows for outdoor installation.

Functionality and application

The switch is designed to control street lighting, squares, exhibitions, advertisements and other energy consumers. Thanks to the built-in light sensor, the device automatically turns on the light at dusk and turns it off at dawn, providing convenience and energy savings. Adjustment of the switching threshold (2-1000 lx) allows you to adjust the sensitivity to individual needs. The on delay (10 s) and off delay (20 s) minimize the risk of accidental switching caused by short-term changes in lighting, e.g. by passing cars.

Construction and technical parameters

The device is made of durable thermoplastic, which guarantees its durability and resistance to mechanical damage. Surface mounting is quick and easy. The maximum switching current is 16 A for resistive loads and 250 W for LED loads. Protection against moisture and dust (IP65) means that the switch can be used in harsh environmental conditions. Halogen-free material increases safety of use.

Key technical parameters include rated voltage 230 V, maximum switching current 16 A and brightness threshold adjustment range from 2 to 1000 lx. The on delay is 10 seconds, and the off delay is 20 seconds. The degree of protection is IP65, the housing is made of thermoplastic, and the dimensions of the device are 64 x 88 x 37 mm (with cable gland: 64 x 101 x 37 mm). The device can operate at a temperature from -25°C to +50°C.

Advantages for installers and end users

For installers:

• Simple surface mounting – minimizes installation time.

• Hermetic housing – ensures safe use outdoors.

• Switching threshold adjustment – allows adaptation to specific lighting conditions.

For end users:

• Automatic lighting control – increases comfort and safety.

• Energy saving – eliminates the need to manually turn the light on and off.

• Durable construction – guarantees long-term, trouble-free operation.

• Protection against interference – on/off delay minimizes the risk of unwanted reactions to momentary changes in lighting.
