Photocell LDR Sensor Switch (ASO-AS-10) 10A

Product Description:

The ASO-AS-10 Photocell LDR Sensor Switch is an intelligent and energy-efficient solution for automating your lighting systems. This compact device utilizes a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) to detect ambient light levels, automatically turning connected lights or appliances ON at dusk and OFF at dawn. With a robust 10A switching capacity, it's suitable for a wide range of lighting fixtures and other electrical loads. Designed for convenience and reliability, the AS-10 helps save energy, enhance security, and provide hassle-free automated lighting control for outdoor and indoor applications. Its weatherproof design makes it suitable for various environmental conditions.

Key Features:

• Automatic Operation: Senses ambient light to turn lights ON at dusk and OFF at dawn, eliminating manual switching.

• Energy Saving: Reduces electricity consumption by ensuring lights are only active when needed.

• High Load Capacity: Capable of switching loads up to 10 Amperes, suitable for multiple lights or higher-power fixtures.

• Enhanced Security: Deters potential intruders by automatically illuminating areas at night.

• Built-in Time Delay: Includes a delay circuit (typically 10-20 seconds) to prevent false triggering from temporary light sources like car headlights or lightning.

• Weatherproof Design: Durable enclosure protects internal components from rain, dust, and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor installation (often IP44 or similar).

• Easy Installation: Typically a 3-wire design for straightforward connection to your existing lighting circuit.

• Wide Application Range: Suitable for various AC voltage systems (model dependent, e.g., 110V, 220V).

• Compact and Discreet: Small form factor allows for unobtrusive installation.

• Reliable LDR Sensor: Provides consistent and accurate light detection.

Applications:

The ASO-AS-10 Photocell Switch is ideal for:

• Street Lighting: Automating city, road, and pathway lights.

• Garden & Landscape Lighting: Illuminating gardens, driveways, and walkways.

• Porch & Patio Lights: Providing automated welcome and security lighting.

• Security Lighting: Enhancing visibility around homes, businesses, and industrial sites.

• Billboard & Signage Lighting: Ensuring signs are visible at night and off during the day.

• Parking Lot Lights: Automating lighting for safety and convenience.

• Factory & Warehouse Exterior Lighting: Managing external illumination efficiently.

• Building Facade Lighting: Highlighting architectural features automatically.

• Any outdoor or indoor lighting system requiring automatic dusk-to-dawn control.

Specifications (Typical for ASO-AS-10 model):

• Model: ASO-AS-10 (or AS-10, AS-10-220, AS-10-110, etc. depending on voltage)

• Input Voltage: Commonly AC 220-240V, 50/60Hz (Also available in AC 110-120V, DC 12V, DC 24V versions – specify based on the exact model)

• Max Load Current: 10A

• Rated Load (Resistive):

  • Approx. 2200W at 220V AC

  • Approx. 1100W at 110V AC

  • (Lower for inductive loads like fluorescent lamps or motors, e.g., 500-1000W)

• Light Sensitivity (ON Level): Typically < 30 Lux

• Light Sensitivity (OFF Level): Typically > 150 Lux (provides hysteresis to prevent flickering)

• Time Delay (Anti-Interference): Approximately 10-20 seconds (to avoid false triggers)

• Operating Temperature: -20°C to +50°C (or similar range)

• Operating Humidity: < 93% RH

• IP Rating: Often IP44 (splash-proof, dust-protected) or “Rainproof”

• Wiring: 3-Wire System:

  • Black: Line In (Live)

  • White: Neutral (Common for In and Out)

  • Red: Load Out (to Lamp)

  • (Wiring colors may vary slightly by region/manufacturer; always check the diagram)

• Dimensions (Approximate): (Varies, but typically around)

  • Body: 50mm (H) x 42mm (W) x 35mm (D)

  • Mounting Hole: Threaded portion for panel mount or bracket.

• Housing Material: UV-stabilized Polycarbonate (PC) or similar durable plastic.

• Service Life: Several years of operation, many thousands of switching cycles.

Important Notes:

• Voltage Compatibility: Always ensure the model's voltage rating matches your power supply (e.g., ASO-AS-10-220V for 220V systems).

• Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician, following all local electrical codes and safety precautions. Ensure power is OFF before installation.

• Placement: For optimal performance, install the sensor where it receives natural ambient light and is not directly illuminated by the light it controls or other artificial light sources at night. Avoid pointing it directly at the sun during the day.
