Frequently Asked Questions

Our Tru-Filter® is a single infrared-filtering phototransistor in each of Ripley’s photocontrols, it filters out all sources of infrared to mirror the spectral sensitivity of the human eye providing highly accurate control across the entire light spectrum (simply what you are able to see, so does the photocontrol).

The Ripley patented twist-lock photocontrol is a Built-In Smart Clock which Synchronizes and continually monitors the signals from the Atomic Clock providing unparalleled scheduling and accuracy eliminating the need for expensive, unreliable, hard-wired time clocks.

The 6390LL Series Photocontrol has been designed, manufactured and distributed with the emerging LED Luminaire market in mind. It allows you or your customer to have confidence that the initial expenditure to install or convert to LED will give you an acceptable ROI. The LongLife photocontrol that we lead the industry with is truly “The Game Changer” with its exclusive technologies incorporated in the unit.

LED Luminaires have some very unique characteristics that are not found on most lighting fixtures. The main is that it has a High In-Rush when it’s asked to come on and also it creates an excess of heat. A standard photocontrol does not take those things in consideration within their designs. The Ripley LongLife Series has been engineered with those LED Shortcomings in mind, we utilize ZCS Technology, which limits that In-Rush that is detrimental to the internal drivers, along with the Industries first Microprocessor Control photocontrol and using a 3 Tier Power Supply and our patented Self-Healing Relay we are able to limit that abuse on the drivers, assuring a longer life span for the LED.

We offer a full line of Contactor Control Boxes; looking at our standard catalog you see we have everything from a 30 AMP – 100 AMP with numerous options available.
