Chapter 1: Unveiling the AS-10 Photo Sensor

The AS-10 Photo Sensor, an engineering marvel, offers a revolutionary way to control your lamp's illumination. Designed to adapt to changing light conditions, this sensor ensures that your lamp switches on at dusk and off at dawn without your intervention. But how does it work its magic? Let's explore the intricate yet surprisingly simple wiring that powers this innovation.

Review the AS-10 photo sensor.

The AS-10 Photo Sensor comes with three wires: red (load), black (line), and white (neutral).

Chapter 2: Connect Wires

Connect the red wire from the AS-10 Photo Sensor to your lamp's live wire (often brown). The black wire from the sensor connects to the power supply's live wire, while the white wire links the sensor to the power supply's neutral.

The black wire from the sensor connects to the power supply's live wire.

The white wire links the sensor to the power supply's neutral.

The neutral wire from the power supply is connected to the lamp's neutral wire, typically identified as the blue wire.

Ensure each connection is well-secured. 

Chapter 3: Witnessing the Automation

With the AS-10 Photo Sensor installed, you can experience the magic. Turn on the power supply, and watch as the sensor's automatic control takes charge. 

Cover the sensor to simulate darkness, and your lamp will illuminate.

The lamp will gracefully turn off as daylight breaks or the sensor is uncovered.
