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.
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.

(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.
