Photocells

DN1
Day/Night switch – heavy duty
The DN1 is a rugged and reliable photocell designed specifically for the harsh conditions of streetlight switching. Years of research into common failure modes has resulted in a product that rivals the world’s best. High quality materials, high temperature electronic components and special contact material will provide years of reliable operation.

FEATURES:

• UV stable, high impact acrylic dome
• AgSnO2 contact material (high current switching capability)
• Shielded phototransistor (sensor does not stare at the sun)
• Automated assembly (no internal lead wires)
• Near hermetic sealing (prevents moisture ingress)
• Low heat rise
• Extremely rigid NEMA contacts
• Satisfies SABS 1777 (2004)

The units can be supplied with a NEMA socket if required.
