Intermatic K4221C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage is the Intermatic K4221C photocontrol rated for?
The K4221C runs on 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz. It is a single-voltage device, so it won't work on a 208-277 V line or on a multi-tap circuit. Wire it to a 120 V branch feeding the fixture you want switched.
2) Will a passing car or a nearby light turn the Intermatic K4221C off during the night?
No. The K4221C uses a mechanical bimetal switch with a cadmium sulfide photocell and a built in time delay that blocks unwanted OFF switching from brief light hits like headlights or lightning. That delay is the main reason to pick a thermal photocontrol for street, parking lot and yard lighting.
3) What wire leads come on the Intermatic K4221C and how do I connect it?
It ships with #18 AWG, 6 inch wire leads, so you splice it in with wire nuts inside the fixture housing or junction box rather than landing it on screw terminals. Six inches is short, plan for the splice to sit right at the hub. It is a 120 V load switching control, so it wires in series with the lamp's hot leg.
4) Is the Intermatic K4221C photocontrol housing OK for full outdoor exposure?
Yes, it is built for it. The housing is high strength UV resistant plastic in grey, and the unit is intended for outdoor lighting control. The included washer gasket seals the stem where it enters the fixture or box, which is where water gets in on this style of control.
5) How much room do I need above the fixture for the K4221C photocell?
Allow about 5 inches of height, with a body roughly 1.563 inches across in both depth and width. On a post top or wall pack, check you have that clearance plus swing room for the swivel before you drill or thread it in.
6) What is the exact part number and who makes the K4221C photocontrol?
Intermatic, manufacturer part number K4221C, a 120 V stem and swivel mount thermal photocontrol. It is made in Mexico. That MPN is what to quote for reorders so you get the 120 V stem version and not another voltage or mounting style in the family.
