FF AZH-C dusk-to-dawn photocell sensor 10A 230V 2–1000 lx mini IP65

The FF AZH-C dusk-to-dawn photocell sensor is designed for automatic switching of lighting and electrical loads according to ambient light levels. Compact and weatherproof, this mini sensor operates at 230 V with a switching capacity of 10 A and a sensitivity range from 2 to 1000 lux, providing reliable control for outdoor lighting installations such as streets, gardens, façades and entrances.

Advantages

The sensor combines a small footprint with IP65-rated protection, enabling installation in exposed locations without compromising performance. Its adjustable sensitivity range allows precise activation at low light levels while preventing unnecessary switching during twilight. Rated for 10 A at mains voltage, the device supports a variety of lighting types and small electrical loads. The mini form factor simplifies mounting in constrained spaces and reduces visual impact on façades and fixtures.

Suitable for

• Street and pathway lighting
• Garden and landscape lighting
• Façade and architectural illumination
• Entrance, porch and security lighting

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 230 V AC
• Maximum switching current: 10 A
• Sensitivity range: 2–1000 lux
• Protection rating: IP65 (suitable for outdoor use)
• Compact mini housing for space-limited installations

How to use

Install the photocell in a location where it can accurately sense ambient light without direct glare from nearby luminaires. Connect the device inline with the lighting circuit according to local electrical regulations, ensuring the supply is 230 V AC and the connected load does not exceed 10 A. Adjust placement so the sensor faces the open sky or the general light source direction; do not mount inside fully enclosed fixtures that block its view. After wiring, verify automatic operation at dusk and dawn and make any minor relocations to avoid false triggering from artificial light sources.

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, avoid mounting the sensor directly beneath streetlights or other strong, constant light sources. Periodically inspect the housing for dirt or debris and clean the sensor window with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure wiring and connections comply with local codes and consider surge protection in areas with frequent electrical transients.
