        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Sunset Switch 3 Wire 240V 10AX Weathershield | IP66 Resistant Grey

        The Clipsal WS226SSR-3RG is a weatherproof photoelectric sunset switch rated 240V AC 10AX, built to switch outdoor lighting on at dusk. The WS226SSR-3RG uses a 3 wire connection and belongs to the Clipsal Weathershield range, rated IP66 for exposed outdoor mounting. It is manufactured to AS/NZS 3133, AS/NZS 3100 and IEC 60669-2-1.

        Outdoor lighting switched manually runs unattended all night and consumes energy nobody is using. A photoelectric sensor exposed to a decade of weather eventually stops operating, leaving the installation either dark or permanently energised. The WS226SSR-3RG positions the activation threshold anywhere across an adjustable 20 to 500 lux range. A selectable 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hour timer then drops the load, or the default dusk to dawn setting runs it through until first light.

        Electricians replacing a failed photoelectric cell want the replacement operating before they leave the installation. The WS226SSR-3RG lands on screw fixing and a 3 wire connection, so the changeover stays inside the existing wiring configuration rather than becoming a rewire. The 10AX rating carries incandescent, inductive and fluorescent loads, which covers the majority of garden, verandah and car park circuits from one part number. Stocking a single sunset switch for both domestic and commercial callouts keeps the van simple.

        Features

        • Dusk to dawn switching — the WS226SSR-3RG detects falling daylight and energises the lighting circuit automatically, with dusk to dawn set as the factory default.
        • Adjustable light level — the switching threshold is set anywhere between 20 and 500 lux, with the default sitting at approximately 20 lux.
        • Selectable run timer — choose 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours of run time after switch-on instead of running the circuit right through to daybreak.
        • 10AX switching capacity — rated 10 A at 240V AC and suited to incandescent, inductive and fluorescent loads on the one unit.
        • 3 wire connection — the WS226SSR-3RG terminates active, neutral and switched active, keeping the sensor and the load on separate conductors.
        • IP66 enclosure — sealed against dust ingress and powerful water jets, which suits direct exposure on external walls and posts.
        • Weathershield range — part of the Clipsal Weathershield outdoor family, finished in resistant grey for external installation.
        • Screw fixing — mounts by screws, so the unit fixes to masonry, timber or a mounting block without proprietary clips.
        • Compact footprint — 85 x 85 x 64 mm overall, small enough to sit above a light fitting or beside a switchboard on an external wall.
        • Standards built — manufactured to AS/NZS 3133, AS/NZS 3100 and IEC 60669-2-1 for Australian and New Zealand installation.
        • Ambient temperature limit — rated for operation between 0 and 45 deg C only, so it is not suited to unventilated roof spaces or sub-zero sites.
        • RoHS compliant — free of mercury and toxic heavy metals under the EU RoHS Directive, with a published environmental profile.

        Where to use

        • Garden and landscape lighting — the WS226SSR-3RG brings garden beds, paths and driveways on at dusk without anyone touching a switch.
        • Verandahs and entries — switches entry lighting so the front of a house is lit for arrivals after dark.
        • Car parks — controls car park lighting across staff and visitor bays on a single 10 A circuit.
        • Street and access road lighting — suits shared driveways, estate roads and access lanes where lighting must follow daylight rather than a clock.
        • Advertising and sign lighting — the WS226SSR-3RG runs illuminated signage from dusk, with the timer cutting it at 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours.
        • Perimeter and security lighting — lights fence lines and yard boundaries on commercial and industrial premises through the hours of darkness.
        • Domestic outdoor circuits — handles patio, pergola and pool surround lighting where the household wants a set run time each night.
        • Rental and managed properties — removes the switch from the tenant, so external lighting runs to the same pattern between tenancies.

        The WS226SSR-3RG is rated for ambient temperatures between 0 and 45 deg C and should not be positioned where ambient conditions exceed that operating band. It requires a 3 wire supply with a neutral at the sensor, so it is not a direct substitution on a two wire arrangement. Switched load must stay within the 10 A rating.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal WS226SSR-3RG | Sunset Switch 3 Wire IP66 (WS226SSR-3RG)

        "The Clipsal WS226SSR-3RG sunset switch was ideal for the situation I wanted for." — Kimbo

        "I am using it to control all my outdoor lights." — Mukesh

        "This product fitted with the base of my existing Clipsal sensor" — Fishman

        (WS226SSR-3RG)

        The WS226SSR-3RG is manufactured to AS/NZS 3133, AS/NZS 3100 and IEC 60669-2-1. The unit carries an IP66 rating for dust and water jet protection and complies with the EU RoHS Directive, with mercury and toxic heavy metals excluded.

        Installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. The WS226SSR-3RG is a 3 wire sunset switch, terminating active, neutral and switched active at the unit. It fixes by screws to an external wall, post or mounting surface rated for the load.

        Dusk to dawn is the factory default: the switch energises the lighting circuit as daylight falls and holds it on until morning. The timer alternative runs the circuit for a set 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours from switch-on, then drops the load.

        The light level is adjustable between 20 and 500 lux. The factory default sits at approximately 20 lux, which brings lighting on close to full darkness. Raising the setting starts the circuit earlier in the evening, while lower settings hold it back until later.

        The switching capacity is 10 AX at 240V AC, covering incandescent, inductive and fluorescent loads. Total connected load must stay within the 10 A rating. Typical circuits include garden lighting, verandahs, car parks, street lighting, illuminated signage and perimeter lighting.

        Warranty runs from the invoice date and covers one year domestic use and one year commercial use. The warranty method is Clipsal in-home warranty, meaning Clipsal handles the claim directly in place with no need to uninstall or return the unit. Warranty is void if installation is not carried out by a licensed electrician.

        Ambient temperature at the mounting position must sit between 0 and 45 deg C, so unventilated roof spaces and sub-zero locations are outside the rating. A neutral must be present at the sensor, so a two wire arrangement is not suitable without additional cabling.

        The Clipsal by Schneider Electric WS226SSR-3RG is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
