Intermatic SK4500K – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does an Intermatic SK4500K shorting cap actually do on a light fixture?
The SK4500K closes the photocontrol receptacle so the fixture stays on continuously. Instead of a photocell that switches the light at dusk and dawn, the cap shorts the switched circuit, keeping lights permanently ON. Crews use it when a photocontrol is pulled for testing, when a fixture needs to burn 24 hours, or to keep an opening lit while a failed photocell is on order.
2) Will the Intermatic SK4500K fit my photocontrol receptacle, or do I need the twist-lock version?
The SK4500K is the locking type. It drops into a locking-type photocontrol receptacle, the same socket a twist-lock photocell plugs into, and twists to seat. If your fixture takes a button-style or stem-mount photocell rather than a locking receptacle, this cap will not mate with it.
3) Do I have to match the shorting cap to 120V, 208-277V, or 480V on the fixture?
No voltage match is needed. The shorting cap carries no electronics to switch, it simply bridges the receptacle contacts, so it is used across voltage systems the same way. That is why one part number covers a mixed pole and building fleet.
4) Is the Intermatic shorting cap rated for outdoor pole and parking lot fixtures?
It is built for outdoor service. The housing is polycarbonate for weather resistance, and the stated uses are parking lot and area lighting, roadway and municipal street lighting, security lighting, and industrial facility lighting, all of which are exterior photocontrol applications.
5) Can I use a shorting cap to keep a light on while I troubleshoot a photocell problem?
That is one of the stated uses. Pulling the suspect photocontrol and dropping the SK4500K into the receptacle forces the fixture on, which tells you immediately whether the lamp and driver are healthy and the photocell is the fault. It also lets you leave the light in service until the replacement control arrives.
6) How much does the shorting cap stick up off the top of the luminaire?
Height is 1.5 inches, which is low enough that it sits close to the housing instead of standing up like a full photocell head. On a decorative or shielded fixture where a photocell dome would be visible from grade, the cap is the less conspicuous option.
7) What part number do I order for the Intermatic locking shorting cap?
Order Intermatic SK4500K. It is a single model, one configuration, so there is no finish, voltage, or handing choice to specify. Country of origin is Mexico.
8) What color is the Intermatic SK4500K shorting plug?
Beige. Worth knowing if you are standardizing a site, because a beige cap reads differently against a dark bronze pole head than a black photocell does, and maintenance crews often use the color as a quick visual cue for which fixtures have had the photocontrol bypassed.
