AI Customer ServiceA photocell is a circuit element inside the ambient light sensor (ALS) that converts incident radiant energy into an electrical signal for daylight harvesting or dusk-to-dawn control. It’s also referred to as a photosensor or photocontrol which, however, technically describes the whole sensing system.
"Learn to use photoconductive cells, photodiodes, and phototransistors in practical light controlled circuits." We will look at Light-Sensitive devices in this article and find out how they can be used in various practical control circuits. Light-sensitive devices include photocells, photodiodes, and phototransistors.
The light-activated photocell circuits in Figs. 5 to 10 all have relay outputs that can control many different kinds of external circuits. In many light-activated circuit applications, however, the circuits must trigger audible alarms. This response can also be obtained without relays as shown in Figs. 11 to 17.
Photocells are included in photographic exposure meters, light-and dark-activated lights, and intrusion alarms. Some light-activated alarms are triggered by breaking a light beam. There are even light-reflective smoke alarms based on photocells. Fig. 5 to 20 show practical photocell circuits; each will work with almost any photocell.
The sensitivity of a photocell is defined as its resistance at a specific level of illumination. Since no two photocells are exactly alike, sensitivity is stated as a typical resistance value plus an allowable tolerance. Both the value of resistance and its tolerance are specified for only one light level.
As the light level decreases, the spread in the tolerance level increases. For increasing light levels the resistance tolerance will tighten. Likewise, for dual element photocells the matching factor, which is defined as the ratio of the resistance of between elements, will increase with decreasing light level.
