Common Applications

  • Outdoor lighting control — TORK flush-mounted photocells (e.g., 3000, 3010) for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation of parking lot and security lights.
  • Commercial building automation — TORK DIN200B DIN rail digital timer switch for 7-day scheduling of HVAC and lighting circuits in electrical panels.
  • Industrial facility lighting — TORK stem-mounted photocells (e.g., ZS124, 2000) with 1/2 inch stem for conduit mounting in high-bay or area lighting.
  • Residential exterior lighting — TORK photocells rated 120V AC for porch, yard, and driveway lights with in-post or wall mounting.
  • Signage and billboard illumination — TORK photocontrols with 105-305V AC range for reliable dusk-to-dawn switching of outdoor signage.
  • Agricultural lighting — TORK photocells for poultry houses or barns to control lighting schedules based on ambient light levels.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TORK from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between TORK flush-mounted and stem-mounted photocells?

TORK flush-mounted photocells are designed for in-post or in-wall installation, often including a wall plate or gasket for weather sealing. They are typically used where the photocell needs to be recessed into a surface. Stem-mounted photocells have a threaded stem, commonly 1/2 inch in diameter, for conduit mounting. They may include a lock nut for secure attachment. Both types provide automatic dusk-to-dawn lighting control, but the mounting method differs based on the installation requirements. Flush-mounted models may have color-coded leads for wiring, while stem-mounted models are often used in outdoor fixtures with a threaded hub.

What voltage options are available for TORK photocells?

TORK photocells are available in several voltage ratings to suit different electrical systems. Common options include 120V AC, 208-277V AC, and 105-305V AC. For example, the TORK 3000 and 3010 models operate at 120V AC, while the ZB124 and ZB124WP models are rated for 105-305V AC. The 3002 model supports 208-277V AC. These voltage ranges allow for use in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. When selecting a photocell, verify the voltage matches the system to ensure proper operation and compatibility.

How many events can the TORK DIN200B timer switch program?

The TORK DIN200B is a DIN rail-mounted digital timer switch that supports up to 14 programmable events. It features a 7-day schedule and SPDT switching, allowing for separate control of normally open and normally closed circuits. The DIN200B operates at 120V AC and is not astronomic, meaning it does not adjust for sunrise and sunset times automatically. This timer is suitable for applications requiring scheduled switching of lighting, HVAC, or other loads on a weekly basis. Programming is done via the interface on the device, and the DIN rail mounting allows for installation in electrical panels.

What is the stem diameter for TORK stem-mounted photocells?

TORK stem-mounted photocells, such as the ZS124 and 2000 models, have a 1/2 inch stem diameter. This is a standard size for conduit mounting, allowing the photocell to be installed in a threaded hub or fixture. The stem is typically threaded, and a lock nut may be included for secure mounting. This mounting style is common in outdoor lighting fixtures, where the photocell is exposed to ambient light. The 1/2 inch stem ensures compatibility with many standard electrical enclosures and lighting accessories.

Are TORK photocells suitable for outdoor use?

Many TORK photocells are designed for outdoor use, with features such as gaskets for weather sealing and UV-resistant materials. Flush-mounted models like the ZB124 and ZB124WP include gaskets to protect against moisture and dust. Stem-mounted models are also intended for outdoor applications, often used in post-top or wall-mounted fixtures. However, not all TORK photocells are rated for outdoor use; some are intended for indoor applications. Always check the product specifications for environmental ratings and installation instructions. For outdoor installations, ensure the photocell is mounted in a location where it is exposed to ambient light and protected from direct water spray if required.

What switching configurations are available in TORK timer switches and photocells?

TORK timer switches and photocells commonly use SPST (single-pole, single-throw) or SPDT (single-pole, double-throw) switching configurations. Photocells like the 3000, 3010, ZB124, and ZS124 are SPST, meaning they switch a single circuit on or off. The DIN200B timer switch is SPDT, allowing it to control two separate circuits, such as switching between two loads or providing normally open and normally closed contacts. The choice depends on the application: SPST is sufficient for simple on/off control, while SPDT offers more flexibility for complex switching or for controlling multiple circuits from one device.
