The GPCON photo controller is a low- voltage class 2 device which provides three independent outputs that may be connected directly to relays or to an RMS. The control unit has adjustable switching ranges that allow adjustment for high and low setpoints of the deadband.

The control unit monitors daylighting of interiors, atriums, skylights and exterior lighting using one of four GLCS GPSEN-xxx photodiode sensing elements.

In normal operation, the controller has a 3 minute time delay to eliminate nuisance switching. The time delay may be bypassed for setup and testing. When the level of light increases to the adjustable high fc level and remains at or above that level for 3 minutes, a momentary closure between white and black will turn loads OFF. When the light level decreases below the adjustable Low level setpoint and remains at or below that level for 3 minutes, a momentary closure between white and red will turn loads ON

The GPCON operates seamlessly in both residential and commercial environments, adjusting lighting levels based on ambient daylight. It uses photodiode sensing elements (GLCS GPSEN-xxx) to monitor light levels, ensuring that lighting systems automatically respond to changes in natural light. With its time-delay feature of 3 minutes, it eliminates nuisance switching, ensuring stable operation. When light levels surpass the adjustable high setpoint for 3 minutes, it turns loads OFF. Conversely, when light levels fall below the low setpoint, it switches loads ON.

This GPCON photocell controller offers a wide range of specifications, such as selectable foot candle ranges from 0-10 fc to 1k-10k fc, and it operates within a broad temperature range of -18 to 45 degrees Celsius. It can be easily mounted in any GMS-ready control panel, including the GINTERxxxxRC, GBS-x, or GBRACKET-xx units. The controller is certified by UL 916 Energy Management and CSA, ensuring that it meets rigorous safety and performance standards. It is an ideal solution for users seeking efficient control of interior and exterior lighting systems.
