Overview

The NSI Industries 5008ME TurnLock Phototransistor is engineered for demanding outdoor lighting applications, particularly on streets, highways, and commercial facilities requiring robust surge protection. This model distinguishes itself by utilizing a silicone photo sensor, offering superior performance and longevity compared to standard CdS photocells. It is designed for luminaries equipped with standard locking-type receptacles, ensuring easy and secure installation. Key specifications include a 480V operating voltage, a high tungsten rating of 7500W, and a ballast rating of 4800VA, making it suitable for a wide range of lighting loads. The 5008ME features a delayed response mechanism, preventing false switching caused by transient light sources such as passing vehicles or nearby lighting. This ensures reliable dusk-to-dawn operation. The ON light level is set between 1 to 3 foot candles (fc), with a Turn-OFF to Turn-ON ratio of a maximum of 5:1, providing precise control. Built to meet stringent industry standards, the 5008ME complies with UL773 and ANSI C136.10, including color designations for voltage. Its housing is constructed from UV-stabilized polycarbonate, offering high impact resistance, flammability resistance, and long-term color stability. The locking prongs are made of solid brass, guaranteeing maximum corrosion resistance and excellent electrical conductivity. The operating temperature range is -40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C), ensuring dependable performance in extreme weather conditions. The fail mode is set to ON, providing continuous illumination in the event of a control failure. NSI Industries backs this product with a 5-year warranty, underscoring its commitment to quality and reliability. SKU: 5008ME.
