Eberle Controls Twilight Switch with External Sensor DAE-F 565 19

The Eberle Controls DAE-F 565 19 is a professional twilight switch (dusk-to-dawn switch) with an external photoresistor sensor, designed for automatic lighting control based on ambient light levels. Ideal for outdoor and industrial applications, it ensures energy-efficient operation by switching lights on at dusk and off at dawn.

Advantages

Adjustable light sensitivity (2-1000 Lux) and switch-on/off delays (10-120 seconds) provide flexible customization. The external sensor (IP54) can be mounted separately and its cable extended up to 50 m, allowing optimal placement. The main unit (IP20) fits standard DIN rail (2 TE) for easy installation in distribution boards.
