Out of Stock

The AS-10 Automatic Light Sensor Controller is a 24V photocontrol switch designed for outdoor lighting automation. It uses a sealed CDS photoresistor to detect ambient light levels, automatically switching connected lights on at dusk and off at dawn, and is compatible with standard AC lighting circuits.

Features

  • Automates lighting based on ambient light levels with a 0.1s delay to prevent false triggering.
  • Handles high-power loads up to 2200W (10A) for streetlights and area lighting.
  • Features a weather-resistant housing suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
  • Operates on a wide AC voltage range centered on 24V at 50/60Hz.
  • Compact design (90mm x 53mm) for easy mounting on poles and structures.

Description

The AS-10 controller employs a sealed cadmium sulfide (CDS) photoresistor and integrated control circuitry to provide reliable dusk-to-dawn lighting automation. Its core function is to monitor natural illumination, activating the connected load when light levels fall below a preset threshold and deactivating it at dawn. This photoelectric switching principle ensures energy savings by eliminating unnecessary operation during daylight hours.

Built for harsh outdoor environments, the unit’s housing provides protection against weather elements. The integrated 0.1-second delay circuit is critical for stability, preventing rapid on/off cycling caused by transient light changes such as passing car headlights or lightning. This makes it a dependable, low-maintenance solution for automating municipal, commercial, and residential outdoor lighting systems without manual intervention.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity CDS photoresistor for accurate ambient light detection.
  • Robust relay output rated for 10A/2200W inductive or resistive loads.
  • Integrated delay timer (0.1s) ensures stable switching and prevents nuisance triggering.
  • Weather-resistant construction designed for long-term outdoor durability.
  • Simple two-wire installation compatible with standard lighting circuits.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for large-scale lighting projects.

Applications

  • Automated control for municipal street lighting and highway lamps.
  • Energy management for parking lot, perimeter, and security lighting.
  • Dawn-to-dusk automation for garden, pathway, and landscape lighting.
  • Cost-saving lighting control for schools, campuses, and industrial yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage of the AS-10 light sensor controller?

The AS-10 is designed for a 24V AC supply at a frequency of 50-60Hz. It is crucial to connect it within this specified voltage range to ensure proper operation and avoid damage to the internal control circuitry and relay.

What is the maximum load I can connect to this sensor switch?

The built-in relay is rated for a maximum load of 10 Amperes at 2200 Watts. This rating applies to both resistive (like incandescent bulbs) and inductive (like magnetic ballast fixtures) loads, making it suitable for controlling multiple streetlights or high-power area lamps.

How does the built-in delay function work?

The controller incorporates a 0.1-second delay circuit to prevent false triggering. This brief pause ensures that sudden, temporary changes in ambient light—such as from car headlights or lightning—do not cause the lights to cycle on and off, providing stable and reliable dusk-to-dawn operation.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor installation in all weather?

Yes, the AS-10 features a weather-resistant housing designed for permanent outdoor installation. It can withstand typical environmental exposure, making it ideal for mounting on light poles, walls, or other structures for street, garden, and security lighting applications.
