Sun set switch

[Phil Allison]

Hi,

anyone know if the HPM PE170 light sensitive switch has an internal
adjustment ?

Seems there is no instruction sheet published by HPM on the net.

I am sure that when your Electrician installs it he will know how to
adjust it, if it requires it.

I hope you not trying to install yourself Phil?

** You are a bullshitting IDIOT.

I am sure that when your Electrician installs it ...

** The in question was installed over 20 years ago.

Probably need replacement then. I am sure your Electrician will be able
to sort it out for.

What makes you think the current model is the same design as a 20+ year
old?

If you had any idea, or had even seen one, Phil, you would have already
known the answer. I guess they are bit more complicated than a toaster.

Don't forget to turn the power off before you play with it. On the other
hand ..........

** The HPM, PE170 concerned is NOT my property and I am not allowed to open
it.

Knowing if it is adjustable is important.

You are STILL a bullshitting IDIOT.

Go **** your mother, again.

I had a solar installation done with a wireless "energy" monitor
display. They wanted to put the AAA battery powered current transformer
/ transmitter in the wall behind the switch board.

They told me they did this at all their installations & didn't have any
problems......... Mine ended up vecro'd to the side of the switch board.

Their general workmanship / planning was at 1st year apprentice level.

Many solar installers are the product of a short course , the connection
usually done by a sparky hired on a job basis so that's well behind the
8 ball and neither maybe a trained cabler let alone having a clue

** That's not what I hear.

Presumably there must be a reason that they get good pay ??

** Licensed and regulated workforce, minimum pay rates and active unions all
help.

Yes there is a reason. They have established a closed shop with total
market control.

** ROTFL

Completely absurd crap.

I reckon it's about time to lobby the governments to review the licensing
rules.

** That is one very tired old hobby horse.

The fact that a person trained in the electrical and/or electronic field
is not allowed to even just replace a power point is plainly ridiculous.

** In practice, nothing stops them.

Wot a tedious wanker.

Did you sort the sunset switch ??

** It ain't my switch.

It sits on the wall of the building and belongs to the Owners Corporation,
problem being it is sited in direct sun and controls both external and
internal (ie hallway) lighting.

The south side hallway and stairwell age no direct sunlight and are in near
darkness for up to an hour before the lights finally come on.

I estimate that sensitivity to light needs to drop by a factor of 50 or more
to correct this - so the hallway illumination will be about 50 lux instead
of 1 lux when the switch operates.

Semi opaque tape placed over the sensor helps, but needs to be replaced
regularly due to the effects of sun and rain.

You go ahead and fix that sun set switch then.

** FFS learn to read.

Anyone can *adjust* that damn thing.

And YOU only mentioned power point replacement - presumably in you OWN
place.

Who is gonna see a home owner do that or complain ??

Wanker.

OK, just thought you may have seen my post where I explained where the
adjustment is located.

** Yes, thanks for that.

Maybe I can get Strata management to do something.

** That is what HPM's advertising suggests.

If so, the unit is entirely unsuitable for the job it needs to do here.

try some spray paint. when you get the right level apply a few coats of
clear acrylic lacquer.

OTOH the sensor was probably installed in the wrong place, I'd not be
suprised it the HPM docs say to install it on a south-facing wall.

Even if you consider the Clipsal 56PEDD3 it is also a fixed setting. ON = 20
lux, OFF= 50 lux.

Not if you have to open it to do that.

** More absurd crap.

That's besides the point.

** No it is not.

Idiot.
