The Cabac HSC110SS is a photoelectric (PE) sensor switch rated 240V AC ±10% 50Hz, IP66 weatherproof, for automatic control of outdoor and indoor lights based on ambient light level. It detects dusk and switches a relay on and off, turning connected lights on at sunset and off at dawn or after a preset time period. The HSC110SS features a patented three-in-one design offering standard dusk-dawn mode, a timer mode for lights that run for a set number of hours after dusk, and an ECO mode that turns lights off for part of the night to save energy. The HSC110SS is suitable for retrofitting to HPM base mounting and includes all required glands, silicone, and DIP switch setup tools. It operates across a temperature range of 0–50°C and is rated to handle loads up to 2400W incandescent, 2400W halogen, or 2400VA fluorescent.
Outdoor lighting control has traditionally required manual switching or separate time clocks and light sensors. The Cabac HSC110SS solves this by integrating photoelectric sensing with multiple operating modes, allowing grounds maintenance teams, builders, and property managers to set lights once and let the unit adapt to changing seasons automatically. The ECO mode feature reduces operating hours during mid-night periods when lights are unlikely to be needed, lowering energy consumption without requiring additional hardware or separate controllers. Heavy-duty brass terminals and an IP66 weatherproof rating suit harsh outdoor installations, while the compact form factor and HPM base compatibility make retrofitting existing sites straightforward—no mounting changes needed when replacing older models.
Licensed electricians value the HSC110SS for its flexibility and ease of setup. DIP switches (rather than potentiometers or complex menus) allow the on-time and mode to be set in 15-minute increments before installation, with no field adjustments required once powered up. The three-mode design means a single SKU covers simple dusk-dawn applications, sites needing lights for the first few hours of evening, and energy-conscious installations that benefit from mid-night off periods. One-minute turn-on and turn-off delays prevent spurious switching caused by momentary shadows or brief illumination, reducing nuisance callbacks on overcast days or when headlights pass. The unit's compatibility with standard HPM bases keeps stock rotation simple across multiple job sites.
The Cabac HSC110SS is not suitable for indoor dimly-lit applications or locations where reflected light from nearby fixtures might interfere with the photoelectric sensor. Do not install the unit where it receives direct sunlight on the front cover (this will prevent normal operation), or where lights it controls shine back on it, as this will cause the relay to cycle at 1-minute intervals. The HSC110SS is rated for mains AC supply only and cannot be driven by a DC-AC inverter.

Installation of the Cabac HSC110SS must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The unit is mounted on an HPM base plate (standard or retrofit) and connects between the mains supply and the load circuit. All required glands, silicone sealant, and setup tools are included. The DIP switches must be set before installation; once powered, no further adjustment is needed.
Dusk-dawn mode (all switches off) runs lights from dusk until dawn continuously. Timer mode runs lights for a set time after dusk (15 minutes to 15.75 hours in 15-minute steps) then off. ECO mode turns lights on at dusk, off for part of the night (25–35% depending on switch 7), then back on until dawn, saving energy during mid-night hours.
The HSC110SS can control incandescent (2400W), halogen (2400W), or fluorescent (2400VA) loads. It can also switch LED circuits if the total load does not exceed 2400W. However, if driving multiple luminaires or dimming ballasts, confirm the total wattage or VA rating does not exceed the unit's maximum.
The HSC110SS uses DIP switches (on the internal module, visible through a window) to set the timer in 15-minute increments. Switches 1–6 represent 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr, and 8 hr respectively; you switch on (up) the combinations that add to your desired time. A full table and worked examples are included in the product datasheet and descriptive internal label.
The HSC110SS has a 1-minute turn-on and 1-minute turn-off delay. This prevents the relay from cycling on and off during cloudy daylight hours, or when headlights or shadows briefly pass over the sensor. Once the light level stays low for 1 minute, the relay switches; once light level stays high for 1 minute, it switches off.
