Sample Specification for Silicon Multivolt RoHS Compliant Photocontrols – BG Series 1. 

Photocontrol: Shall be a Locking Type (aka twist lock). 2. 

Line voltage: 105-305VAC @ 50/60 hertz. 3. 

Load rating: Shall be at least 1800VA. Control must be able to operate incandescent, ballast, LED and lighting contractor type loads. 

4. Control relay: Shall be sealed. 

5. Turn ON: Shall be 1.5±0.5 fc. Turn OFF shall be 1.5 times the turn ON level. 

6. Photosensor: Sealed silicon sensor. Cadmium sulphide cells are not acceptable. 

7. Failure mode: Control will fail OFF per ANSI definition. Relay must use normally open contacts. 

8. Time delay: Control must have instant ON and 2-5 seconds “OFF” delay. 

9. Surge protection: Each MOV shall be rated a minimum of 420 joules and 9500 amp surge.

10. Housing: Shall be black, opaque and of an impact and UV resistant material. Impact resistance of housing shall be greater than 1.0 ft-lbs at -20°C. Top of cover 0.070 inch (1.78 mm) or thicker. 

11. Drop test: Control must be capable of withstanding a drop of 3 feet (1 m) to a concrete floor without causing damage to the housing or changing electrical operation. 

12. Markings: The following must appear on the control: month/year of manufacture, model description, operating voltage range and load rating. 

13. Power consumption: Shall consume 0.5 watts or less at 120VAC. 

14. Environmental: Shall be RoHS compliant. It shall not contain lead, cadmium, mercury or hexavalent chromium. Pigments in plastic parts shall not contain bromine compounds or heavy metal pigments.
