TECNO SWITCH CR301ES Outdoor Dusk Switch — 16A / 250Vac — Adjustable 2–200 Lux Threshold — Single-Pole — Wall or Pole Mounting — Calibration Indicator LED — Class II — UV / Rain / Dust Resistant
The TECNO SWITCH CR301ES outdoor dusk switch is an automatic photosensor for controlling public and private lighting based on ambient light. The operating threshold is adjustable from 2 to 200 lux to adapt the switching times to the specific requirements of the site. The 16A / 250Vac single-pole relay controls lighting loads up to 16A. The indicator LED instantly shows the set calibration point during adjustment. The technopolymer housing is resistant to dust, rain, and UV rays, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installation on a wall or pole. Switching delay on: ~7 seconds; switching delay off: 30 seconds to filter out temporary light variations (clouds, headlights, etc.). Power supply: 230Vac 50-60Hz, protection class II. Made in Italy by TECNO SWITCH.
- SKU: CR301ES | EAN: 8055681990388
- Power supply: 230Vac — 50/60Hz
- Operating threshold: 2 – 200 lux (adjustable)
- Maximum relay load: 16A — 250Vac
- Contact type: Single-pole (CR301ES)
- Switching delay on: ~7 seconds
- Switching delay off: 30 seconds
- Calibration indicator LED: Yes — instant
- Installation: Wall or pole
- Protection class: II
- Resistance: UV + rain + dust
Main Features
- Adjustable 2–200 lux threshold — Twilight sensitivity is adjustable over a wide range: at 2 lux, switching occurs in near-total darkness (deep night); at 200 lux, switching occurs in diffused light conditions (cloudy sky in the late evening). The choice of calibration point depends on the site's exposure and the type of lighting to be controlled
- Instant calibration point indicator LED — The integrated LED lights up when ambient light exceeds the set threshold and turns off when it falls below; during field calibration, it allows you to view the sensor's behavior in real time without waiting for the switching delays
- Switching delay on: ~7s / switching delay off: 30s — The switching delays filter out temporary brightness variations (passing clouds, vehicle headlights, lightning flashes), preventing untimely switching that would damage the loads and disrupt the system
- 16A / 250Vac single-pole relay — The single-pole contact (CR301ES) interrupts the phase only, suitable for controlling standard single-phase lighting loads; for applications requiring the simultaneous interruption of phase and neutral, the bipolar CR302ES model is available
- UV / rain / dust resistant housing — The technopolymer body is formulated to resist degradation from ultraviolet rays, rain, and dust, ensuring decades of reliable operation in outdoor environments without additional protection
- Wall or pole mounting — Versatile design that adapts to both direct mounting on a wall using wall plugs and mounting on a public lighting pole using cable ties or brackets, with simple wiring thanks to the integrated terminals
- Protection class II — Double electrical insulation that does not require connection to an earth conductor; simplifies installation and increases safety in outdoor environments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between CR301ES (single-pole) and CR302ES (bipolar)?
A: The CR301ES interrupts only the phase of the load, leaving the neutral always connected; it is the standard solution for the vast majority of single-phase lighting installations. The CR302ES interrupts phase and neutral simultaneously, required in specific applications where regulations or safety require the complete disconnection of the circuit (e.g., lighting for tanks, fountains, systems with special requirements).
Q: How many lux corresponds to dusk?
A: In typical conditions, dusk is around 10–50 lux (clear sky during civil twilight). The most common calibration for outdoor lighting is around 20–50 lux for timely switching on as light fades. The integrated indicator LED facilitates field calibration by displaying the sensor's behavior in real time.
Q: Why are there switching delays on and off?
A: The delays (7s on, 30s off) filter out temporary brightness variations: the passage of a cloud, vehicle headlights, or a lightning flash will not cause untimely switching of the system, protecting the luminaires from frequent switching cycles that would reduce their lifespan.
Q: How many watts of LED can the CR301ES handle?
A: The relay is 16A / 250Vac, corresponding to 4000W in AC1. For LED loads, always check compatibility with the inrush current: some LED drivers generate high inrush currents that can reduce the life of the contacts. For installations with many LED lamps in parallel, it is advisable to check the total inrush current or use an auxiliary contactor.
