5.2 הוראות חיווט
חָשׁוּב: ודא שהחשמל כבוי במפסק החשמל לפני תחילת ההתקנה.
- הכינו חוטים: Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of all wires (photocell, incoming power, and light fixture wires).
- חיבור חוטי ניטרלי: חבר את חוט לבן from the photocell to the incoming חוט לבן (ניטרלי) from your power source and the חוט לבן (ניטרלי) of your light fixture. Secure with a wire nut.
- Connect Line (Hot) Wire: חבר את חוט שחור from the photocell to the incoming black (hot/line) wire from your power source. Secure with a wire nut.
- חיבור חוט עומס: חבר את חוט אדום from the photocell to the black (hot/load) wire of your light fixture. Secure with a wire nut.
- חיבורים מאובטחים: Ensure all wire nuts are tight and connections are secure. Wrap each wire nut with electrical tape for added insulation and protection.
- Mount Photocell: Mount the photocell in a location where it will receive natural daylight and is not obstructed by shadows or artificial light sources (e.g., other lights, car headlights) that could interfere with its operation. If installing outdoors, ensure it is within a suitable weather-resistant enclosure.
- החזר כוח: Once all connections are secure and the photocell is mounted, restore power at the circuit breaker.
פֶּתֶק: The photocell may have a built-in delay (typically a few seconds to a few minutes) before activating or deactivating to prevent false triggers from transient light changes.

6. תפעול
The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control operates automatically based on ambient light levels:
- לִפְנוֹת עֶרֶב: When natural light levels fall below a certain threshold, the photocell will detect darkness and activate the connected light fixture.
- עם שחר: When natural light levels rise above a certain threshold, the photocell will detect sufficient light and deactivate the connected light fixture.
There is an intentional delay in the switching mechanism (typically a few seconds to a few minutes) to prevent the light from cycling on and off due to temporary shadows, car headlights, or lightning flashes.
7. תחזוקה
The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control requires minimal maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the photocell sensor for any dirt, dust, or debris that might obstruct its view of ambient light. Gently clean the sensor with a soft, damp בד במידת הצורך.
- Ensure the area around the sensor remains clear of obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new decorations) that could block natural light.
- Check wiring connections annually for any signs of wear or corrosion, especially in outdoor installations.
8. פתרון תקלות
| בְּעָיָה | סיבה אפשרית | פִּתָרוֹן |
|---|---|---|
| האור נשאר דולק ברציפות. | Sensor is not receiving enough light (e.g., obstructed, installed in a dark area). Wiring error (e.g., load wire connected to line). Defective photocell. | Relocate or clear obstructions from the sensor. Verify wiring connections according to Section 5.2. Consult an electrician if unsure. Replace the photocell if other solutions fail. |
| האור לא נדלק עם רדת החשיכה. | אין חשמל ליחידה. Sensor is receiving too much light (e.g., from another light source). שגיאת חיווט. Defective photocell or light fixture bulb. | בדוק את מפסק החשמל ואת ספק הכוח. Relocate the sensor or shield it from artificial light sources. ודא את חיבורי החיווט בהתאם לסעיף 5.2. Test the light fixture with a different power source or replace the bulb. Replace photocell if necessary. |
| Light cycles on/off rapidly. | Interference from flickering light sources or transient shadows. Sensor is partially obstructed or dirty. | Ensure the sensor has a clear, consistent view of ambient light. Clean the sensor. Note that a short delay is normal to prevent rapid cycling. |
| Light turns on/off with a delay. | זוהי פעולה רגילה. | The photocell is designed with a built-in time delay to prevent false triggers. This is not a malfunction. |
