NovaStar NS060-30A Outdoor Light Sensor
The NovaStar NS060-30A monitors ambient light so a compatible LED control system can adjust screen brightness automatically. This listing is intended for installations using NovaStar MFN300 or MFN300-B multifunction cards. Check the light-sensor connector and required cable route before ordering.

The original V1.0.3 download below is labelled NS060-5A. The 30 m cable entry above is documented separately in the NS060 V1.1.5 family specification; it is not inferred from that older 5A document.
Planning Automatic Brightness Adjustment
Use the sensor as an input to the display control system. Set the desired brightness rules in the compatible system and check the result during both daylight and darker conditions. Actual energy savings depend on the screen, brightness settings and operating schedule; no fixed saving is promised.
NovaStar specifies placement in the same environment as the display and recommends outdoor waterproof adhesive at the sensor-body/substrate joint, with regular joint inspection. Choose the mounting position before confirming the required cable length.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the NS060-30A sensor cable?
NovaStar’s V1.1.5 specification lists 30 m for NS060-30A. Confirm that this matches the cable route and supplied model on your order.
Can the NS060-30A work with MFN300 or MFN300-B?
Those multifunction cards are identified in the original listing. Check the available sensor connector and the installed system’s brightness-control setup before connecting the sensor.
Is a separate sensor power supply needed?
The NS060 family documentation states that no external power supply is required. Use the supported sensor connection on the control device.
Does waterproof mean no installation sealing is needed?
No. The documented IP65 rating does not remove the mounting guidance. Seal and inspect the body-to-substrate joint as described in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Will this sensor automatically reduce my electricity bill?
It enables ambient-light-based brightness control through a compatible system. The resulting power use depends on the chosen brightness settings, display and schedule.
