Operation
1. The APC Photocell is fitted with current overload and thermal protective devices which cannot
be reset. The APC Photocell should not be used outside its rated voltage and current.
2. The lid must be secured using all of the lid screws provided in order to maintain the IP rating.
3. No attempt must be made to remove the enclosure lid whilst electrical power is connected to
the contents of the enclosure.
4. The mains power input going into the APC (via the L terminal) is the same as the output (Ls).
The photocell acts purely as a switch, it does not alter the supply.

The APC Photocell enclosure is manufactured using the following materials:- glass reinforced
polyester resin (with or without carbon loading), polycarbonate, neoprene or silicone rubber, 316
grade stainless steel, brass.
Consideration should be given to the environment in which these enclosures are to be used to
determine the suitability of these materials to withstand any corrosive agents that may be present.
Static hazard

Ohms. They can present a hazard from static electricity and may not be cleaned except with a
damp cloth.
