Intermatic LC4535LA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Intermatic LC4535LA photocontrol fit the twist-lock receptacle on my existing pole fixtures?
If the fixture has an ANSI C136.10 NEMA twist-lock receptacle, yes. The LC4535LA is a locking type photocontrol with the standard three-prong plug base, so it twists into the same receptacle used on most roadway, area and parking lot fixtures. No wiring changes are needed to swap one out, just twist the old unit off and the new one on.
2) Can I use a 480V photocontrol like the LC4535LA on a 120V or 277V circuit?
No. The LC4535LA is a single-voltage unit rated 480 VAC, 50/60 Hz only. Putting it on a 120V or 277V circuit will not switch the load correctly. If the fixture is fed at 120V or 277V you need a photocontrol rated for that voltage, or a multi-voltage (120-277V) locking type unit instead.
3) What does the yellow band on an Intermatic photocontrol mean?
Color coding on locking photocontrols identifies the voltage class at a glance, which matters when a crew is stocking a truck for a mixed-voltage site. The LC4535LA is grey with a yellow band and is the 480 VAC unit. Pull one off a pole, match the band, and you know you are putting back the same voltage rating.
4) Is a thermal photocontrol like the LC4535LA a good choice for parking lot and roadway lighting, or should I use an electronic one?
The LC4535LA is a thermal type: a mechanical bimetal switch driven by a cadmium sulfide photocell. That construction is the traditional choice for street, roadway, parking lot and area lighting, and it includes a delay so headlights, lightning or a reflection off a passing truck will not cycle the fixture off. Electronic photocontrols switch faster and more precisely; thermal units like this one are the simpler, long-standing option for outdoor HID and area lighting on C136.10 receptacles.
5) What does the spark arrestor on the Intermatic LC4535LA actually do?
On a 480V circuit the contacts see a much harder arc at make and break than they do at 120V. The spark arrestor and thermal protection built into the LC4535LA are there to handle that switching stress and protect against electrical faults, which is why the high-voltage version carries them and why you should not substitute a control without them on a 480V feed.
6) Do I need an adapter or a separate socket to install the LC4535LA on a fixture?
Nothing extra if the fixture already has the C136.10 NEMA twist-lock receptacle, which most commercial pole and area fixtures do. The LC4535LA plugs straight in. If the fixture has no receptacle, you would need a receptacle or a photocontrol-to-fixture adapter, which is not part of this unit.
7) How tall is the Intermatic LC4535LA photocontrol, and will it clear a tight fixture hood?
The LC4535LA stands 2.75 inches high above the receptacle. That is the number to check against any shroud, hood or house-side shield that sits close over the photocontrol boss on the fixture.
8) How long will an Intermatic LC4535LA hold up before it needs replacing on a pole?
Intermatic tests the LC4535LA through 3,650 ON/OFF cycles, which is one switching cycle a day for ten years of service. The body is high impact thermoplastic, so it is built to sit exposed on top of an outdoor fixture through weather and UV.
