Industrial Photocontrol for Outdoor Lighting

The Intermatic K4321C is a fixed-mount photocontrol designed for 120V AC circuits. It automatically switches connected loads from dusk to dawn using a 1.0 to 5.0 foot-candle turn-on range. The gray polycarbonate housing carries cCSAus and UL listings and meets California Title 20 requirements.

Simple Two-Wire Hookup with Raintight Seal

Installation uses a standard SPST contact form and includes a gasket and wall plate for a raintight enclosure. Wiring must respect the 15 A incandescent and 8.3 A ballast ampere limits. The operating temperature spans -40 degrees to 158 degrees F, so verify the mounting location stays within that range.

1800 Watt Maximum Load Rating

The single specification that determines suitability is the 1,800 W maximum wattage at 120V AC. Circuits exceeding this rating, or loads with inrush currents above the stated ampere limits, require a different control device.

What comes in the box with the K4321C and what must I supply separately?

The unit includes a gasket and wall plate. You must provide 120 V AC wiring, a suitable junction box and the lighting load up to 1,800 W.

Which K4321C version should I choose for a 1,800 W HID fixture on a 120 V circuit?

This single model handles 1,800 W maximum across fluorescent, HID and incandescent loads at 120 V AC with 8.3 A ballast and 15 A incandescent ratings.
