PERRY 1IC 7245
PERRY 1IC 7245 – “FEBO” Outdoor Wall/Pole Mount Photocell Twilight Switch
The PERRY 1IC 7245 (model “FEBO” manufactured by Perry Electric) is an industrial-grade outdoor twilight photocell lighting control switch designed for automated twilight activation of external lighting systems. Engineered for wall and pole mounting applications, the PERRY 1IC 7245 senses ambient natural light levels to automatically switch electrical loads ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.
As shown in the product image, the device is housed in a compact, curved opaline anti-UV thermoplastic enclosure engineered to withstand harsh atmospheric conditions and ultraviolet degradation. It comes factory pre-calibrated at 10 Lux (pm 20%)—conforming to ENEL standards for public street lighting—to enable immediate out-of-the-box installation without complex initial tuning.
Key Features of the PERRY 1IC 7245
-
Factory Pre-Calibrated 10 Lux Threshold: Pre-set at 10 Lux (pm 20%) for instant outdoor deployment without requiring manual light level setup.
-
Wide Adjustable Light Range (2 to 200 Lux): Features an internal trimmer for precise manual adjustment of the light intervention threshold from 2 Lux (dark) to 200 Lux (early dusk).
-
Anti-UV Opaline Housing with IP65 Protection: Built with weather-proof, ultraviolet-stabilized opaline material rated at IP65 for dust and heavy moisture resistance.
-
Built-In Time Delay (Anti-False Switching): Includes an integrated switching delay (approx. 25 seconds) on turn-ON and turn-OFF to prevent unwanted tripping caused by temporary light sources like passing car headlights or brief cloud cover.
-
High Load Capacity Polarized Output: Equipped with a heavy-duty 16 A (250V AC) normally open (NO) relay contact capable of handling direct lighting loads.
-
Threshold Status LED: Contains an internal status LED indicator to assist technicians in verifying threshold trip points during daylight testing.
Common Applications and Industrial Usage
The weather-proof housing, flexible mounting options, and high current capacity of the PERRY 1IC 7245 make it suitable for various outdoor lighting control applications:
-
Public & Street Lighting: Controls municipal street lamps, residential perimeter lights, and walkway fixtures according to real-time ambient darkness.
-
Commercial Signage & Storefronts: Automatically powers illuminated business signs, display windows, and billboard lighting at dusk.
-
Parking Lots & Perimeter Security: Activates floodlights, security perimeters, and multi-story parking deck illumination when natural sunlight drops.
-
Industrial Yards & Warehouses: Controls exterior loading dock lights, storage yard floodlights, and entry gate illumination.

Installation Guidelines and Best Practices
SAFETY NOTICE: Isolate the electrical mains supply before conducting any wiring or mounting procedures.
Sensor Orientation: Mount the unit vertically on a wall or pole facing away from direct artificial light sources (e.g., the lamps it controls or nearby floodlights) to prevent short-cycling.
Cable Gland Seals: Pass sheathed power cables (varnothing 7–11 mm) through the bottom entry gland to preserve the IP65 moisture-proof seal.
Testing Delay: When testing the threshold using the internal adjustment trimmer or manual covering, wait at least 25 seconds for the internal time delay circuit to actuate.
To review official international switchgear standards and IEC testing specifications for automatic photocell controls, consult the official IEC 60669 Switches for Household and Similar Fixed Electrical Installations Directory.
