WHAT IS PHOTOCELL RELAY?

Photocell relays are used to transfer the ambient light data to the necessary equipment. These are used in systems that move according to light intensity or require control for light. The data transferred from the photocell sensor that collects ambient light data is received and the device moves according to the setting value.

These are used in interior and exterior spaces. Urban lightings are the most common usage area. The most important thing to consider when using these relays is to prevent the relays from being affected by light sources. For example, it is not desirable for a street light to turn off because of a car headlight or another source of light. The installation position should be considered and delayed photocell relays should be used to avoid these situations.

Things to consider when choosing a photocell relay and a photocell sensor

There are not many criteria you should research when buying a photocell relay or a photocell sensor. Take the area you will use it in and its conditions into consideration. In this stage, you should pay attention to details such as; environment temperature, an electric source for it to operate, weight, operating frequency, and the surface it will be fixed on.

Afterwards, find the delay and measuring range that will fit your intended use. Also, check the contact values.

After listing devices that fit all of these criteria our advice to you would be contacting to authorized sellers or manufacturers of the product and request all technical and usage information. As photocell and photocell relays have many fields of use, not all models would suit you.
