TINYCONTROL Dusk sensor for LAN controllers LK3 and LK4

Tinycontrol LANKON-091

Twilight sensor for automatic lighting control based on light intensity.

The LANKON-091 sensor is an electronic circuit consisting of a specially selected photoresistor and resistor, designed for connection to the amplifying analog inputs INPA1 to INPA4 in Lan Controller version 3 and 4. The circuit is designed to provide maximum voltage differences proportional to light intensity, especially during twilight and dawn, when lighting is low.

After connecting the sensor, set the desired voltage value (approximately 1 V as the twilight threshold) in the Event Config section, which will trigger the output to turn on night lighting. The sensor should be installed in a location where it will not be affected by artificial lighting, especially car headlights.

• Specially selected photoresistor and resistor for optimal twilight and dawn detection.
• Compatible with amplifying analog inputs INPA1 to INPA4 in Lan Controller LK3 and LK4.
• Output voltage in complete darkness reaches approximately 3.1 V.
• Output voltage during overcast sky drops to approximately 0.2 V.
• Voltage during twilight or dawn ranges from 0.8 to 2 V.
• Ideal for automatic switching of outdoor lighting based on light conditions.
• Recommended installation in a location without artificial lighting influence.

Setup and Configuration
The sensor is connected according to the wiring diagram provided in the Lan Controller manual. After connection, it is necessary to set the threshold voltage value (usually around 1 V) in the Event Config section, which determines when the output is triggered to activate the lighting.

Installation and Placement
For proper operation, it is important to place the sensor in a location where it will not be affected by artificial light sources, such as street lamps or headlights of passing cars. This ensures accurate detection of natural twilight and dawn.
