Dusk-to-Dawn Photocell Timer No name AZH-C-24V 10A 24V AC/DC mini IP65 surface-mounted

No name AZH-C-24V is a surface-mounted dusk-to-dawn photocell timer designed to switch lighting automatically according to ambient light levels. The compact device accepts 24 V AC or DC supply and is rated to switch loads up to 10 A. Housed in a small IP65 enclosure, it is suitable for outdoor, semi-exposed, or damp locations where simple automatic control of street, garden, sign, or façade lighting is required.

Advantages

The miniature IP65 housing provides protection against dust and water jets, enabling reliable operation in outdoor conditions. Dual compatibility with 24 V AC and 24 V DC supplies simplifies integration into existing low-voltage lighting circuits. A 10 A switching capacity covers a wide range of lighting loads while the surface-mounted design allows straightforward installation on walls or fixture bodies. The sensor-based dusk-to-dawn function removes the need for daily manual switching.

Suitable for

• Street and pathway lighting with low-voltage supply
• Garden and landscape lighting control
• Illuminated signs and advertising panels
• Facade and building accent lighting
• Small outdoor lighting installations requiring automatic on/off based on daylight

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 24 V AC/DC
• Maximum switching current: 10 A
• Enclosure protection rating: IP65
• Mounting type: surface-mounted
• Operating principle: photocell (dusk-to-dawn) automatic control
• Size: miniature housing suitable for compact installations

How to use

Mount the photocell timer on a vertical surface where the sensor has an unobstructed view of ambient light and is not directly illuminated by the controlled fixtures. Connect the 24 V supply and the load following standard low-voltage wiring practices and local electrical regulations. After installation, the unit will detect ambient light levels and close or open the circuit automatically at dusk and dawn. No regular user adjustments are required for basic operation; periodic inspection of wiring integrity and housing condition is recommended.

Usage recommendations

To ensure consistent switching behaviour, avoid installing the photocell where nearby light sources, reflective surfaces, or strong artificial lighting may cause false day/night detection. For corrosive or extreme environments, check compatibility of mounting location and provide additional protection if necessary.
