        Cabac | Weatherproof Sunset Switch 240V IP66 | Dusk-to-Dawn + Timer + ECO

        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.

        Features

        • 3-in-1 patented design — modes selectable by DIP switches: standard dusk-dawn, timer (15-minute increments, 15 min to 15.75 hours), and ECO mode with automatic seasonal adaptation.
        • IP66 weatherproof rating — suitable for outdoor installations; glands and silicone sealant supplied to maintain weatherproof integrity; resists water and dust ingress.
        • HPM base retrofit compatible — form factor matches HPM sunset switches; no mounting changes or new wiring required when retrofitting existing installations.
        • 240V AC mains rated — operates on standard 240V ±10% 50Hz Australian electrical supply; 2400W incandescent, 2400W halogen, or 2400VA fluorescent maximum load.
        • Heavy-duty brass terminals — solid brass construction resists corrosion in outdoor environments; maintains consistent contact for high-current switching.
        • Automatic photoelectric control — detects ambient light at approximately 15 Lux (dusk) and 30 Lux (dawn) to switch load on and off without manual intervention.
        • ECO mode for energy saving — automatically turns off for 25% to 35% of the night while maintaining illumination at dusk and dawn, reducing wasted operating hours during mid-night periods.
        • DIP switch timer configuration — no potentiometers or digital keypads; simple on-off switches allow 15-minute step programming in 15-minute increments up to 15.75 hours.
        • Antipulse delay function — built-in 1-minute turn-on and turn-off delays prevent spurious switching from momentary shadows, passing headlights, or cloud cover during daylight.
        • Complete installation kit supplied — includes M20 and M25 cable glands, silicone sealant, DIP switch setup tool, and internal wiring label for fast field installation.
        • Seasonal timing adjustment — in ECO mode, the HSC110SS automatically adapts switching times as day length changes through the year without manual recalibration.
        • Mains AC supply only — designed for 240V AC direct connection; not suitable for DC-AC inverter-fed systems or off-grid solar installations without a DC inverter.

        Where to use

        • Outdoor carpark and entry lighting — the HSC110SS is rated for high-load outdoor installations, turning carpark and entry lights on at dusk and off at dawn or after a set period; HPM base retrofit compatibility suits upgrades on existing carpark control systems.
        • Grounds and landscape lighting — properties with extensive outdoor areas use the HSC110SS to control garden bed uplights, pathway lighting, and tree uplights without manual switching or separate time clocks; ECO mode reduces energy during late-night hours.
        • Street and municipal lighting upgrades — local councils and facilities managers retrofit the HSC110SS into existing street light posts in place of aging dusk-dawn controllers; the 2400W rating supports multiple high-wattage luminaires on a single circuit.
        • Industrial and commercial outdoor areas — factories, warehouses, and industrial sites use the HSC110SS to control external security lighting; the IP66 rating suits exposed locations subject to dust, salt spray, and moisture.
        • Holiday parks and residential developments — caravan parks, residential villages, and holiday accommodation use the HSC110SS to automate common-area lighting (entry roads, amenity buildings, parkland) without hiring staff to switch lights manually.
        • Retrofit replacements for HPM base models — existing installations running older HPM sunset switches can upgrade to the HSC110SS using the same base plate; no structural changes to mounting or wiring required.
        • Energy-conscious applications with ECO mode — sites aiming to reduce energy consumption use ECO mode to turn lights off during the middle of the night when facilities are closed or low-traffic; typical savings of 25–35% during the off period.
        • Seasonal climate zones — the HSC110SS adapts automatically to changing day length in ECO mode, making it suitable for southern Australia regions where dusk times vary significantly between summer and winter.

        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.

        (HSC110SS)

        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.

        Good Quality on 2 December 2021

        This is an extremely solid piece of kit. I like the functionality whereby times etc are set by changing the dip switches. It fitted perfectly over the old HPM base. Highly recommended. Fast delivery. :)
