application
Fisher-Pierce series 66004 photoelectric lighting controls were developed to
provide a compact, economical, individual control unit with ]ong service li{e.
Built around a hermetically sealed broad area cadmium sulfide cell, the series
66004 has a simple ciicuit that operates on ac to drive a sensitive relay. The
relay was specilically designed {or this applicalion by Sigma.
Belay load contacts are normally closed (no light on photocell) with the lamp
turned "on". When energized (two to three {ootcandles above the lurn-on
point) the relay conlacts open to turn of{ the lamp load.
