the photocell neutral connection then connects back to the permanent neutral connection thus completing the circuit. then from the load connection of the photocell this goes to the lights and returns back to the photocell neutral connection.
Is it the case that i only need to connect the permanent live wire to the live connection of the timer and then take a wire from the load connection of the timer to the live connection on the photo cell. The timer has 3 connections, live, load and 2 way. The next day the timer will switch on at a time when still daylight thus supplying power to the photocell and when dark enough will activate and turn the lights on I think we are on the same lines however i just need to confirm a few things with regard to the timer i have.īasically the timer will supply the power to the photocell and then at a certain time(lets say midnight) the timer switches off thus cutting power to the photo cell and so turns the lights off If anybody could help and possible provide a diagram i would be most greatfull. does my brown live wire connect to the live connection of the timer and do i then take another brown live wire from the load? what about the blue neutrals? do these just need to be connected together and not to the timer switch thus bypassing the switch and going straight to the photocell?
Much simpler to have all the timers inside, in one location.
Replace outside light photocell with smart timer how to#
The issue i have is getting my head around how to wire the timer into this circuit as the manual for the timer is pretty poor and does not explain very well how to wire the unit in. So the lights will come on mid-day for a few seconds when the photocell powers up from the timer. The photocell is pretty standard with 3 screw connections, Line, load, neutral i could just use the timer but this would need constant adjustments when the nights start to get darker/lighter so would like the photocell to do the job of determining when its dark enough to switch on the lights however i dont want the lights to remain on all through the night so want to add a timer to the circuit. Im looking to run 3 bulkhead lights outside which i want connected to a photocell.
