The electronic requires no intrinsic power supply, so there is no standby loss.
The wireless indoor brightness sensor FIH63AP powered by a solar module covers the range
from 0 to 30000 Lux. From approx. 300 Lux, it transmits a wireless telegram to the Eltako
wireless network every time there is a brightness change of more than approx. 500 Lux within
approx. 10 seconds. If the brightness does not change, a control signal is sent approx. every
100 seconds.
New actuators FSR and FSB can cover the range from 0 to approx. 30 Lux using the twilight
switch function. A wireless telegram is sent about every 100 seconds within this range.
In as-delivered state the energy accumulators are empty and must be charged in bright daylight
for about 5 hours or connected to a charger for about 10 minutes via the red/black 12V DC
connecting cable.
In normal ambient brightness (at least a daily average of 200 Lux), the energy of the integrated
solar module is sufficient to power the FIH63AP. Then the 12V DC connecting cable may be cut
off if necessary. The sensor then requires no installation depth behind the mounting plate. It can
be screwed or stuck to any flat surface. An adhesive film is supplied.
The power reserve stored in capacitors supplies the power requirement for the night.
If
the ambient brightness is insufficient, power is supplied by the connecting cable from a
switching power supply unit SNT61-230V/12V DC fitted below in a switch box.
The complete module can be removed from the frame for screw mounting.
