Day/Night Photo Switch 
In certain applications it is necessary to calculate a special night visibility 
value from the measured MOR. In these cases a simple day/night photo 
switch is sufficient for discerning between day and night ambient light 
conditions. A low voltage (12 DC) model of the photo switch has to be 
used. The switch output can be connected to the photo switch input on 
the FSC202 processor board. See Figure 36 below for wiring details. For 
system configuration, refer to section Day/Night Sensor on page 99. 
A closed contact of the Day/Night Photo Switch corresponds to darkness 
that is nighttime. 
NOTE 
The cable shield of the photo switch cable must be properly grounded in 
the cable gland of the interface unit's enclosure, see 
Figure 29 on page 
.
