Scope:

This standard covers light-sensitive, photo electric control units of the plug-in, locking type, rated 600 volts alternating current (ac) or less, that are intended for controlling outdoor electric luminaires, in wet and damp locations, and that are intended to be employed for area lighting and installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC Part I). This standard covers shorting and open-circuit devices of the locking configuration, used as substitutes, where necessary, for the light-sensitive control units. Solid state photo electric control units in addition are also evaluated in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 184. The receptacles covered by this standard are only those used as mating parts with the locking type photo-electric controls of configuration defined in this Standard

Project need:

This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of industry to provide appropriate requirements for safe introduction of photo electric controls
