JIS C 8369:2012 PDF Download

The JIS C 8369:2012 standard provides specifications for photoelectric controls used in public lighting. These photoelectric controls, also known as PC switches, are intended for use as a single unit in general outdoor places under an AC single-phase two-wire system with a rated voltage of 100V or 200V.

The standard specifies that these PC switches should not be installed in places where corrosive gases exist, such as chemical plants or areas with heavy industrial pollution. They should also not be used in areas where salt damage is anticipated, such as coastal regions or places with high salt content in the air. Additionally, the standard does not recommend installing these PC switches in places that experience consistently high temperatures or high humidity levels.

These specifications are put in place to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the photoelectric controls in public lighting applications. Compliance with the JIS C 8369:2012 standard helps to guarantee the durability and effectiveness of these PC switches in various outdoor environments.
