- the photoelectric device 10 has a number of prongs which are inserted into the corresponding sockets 108 in the receptacle 100 by applying insertion pressure on the device 10. After the prongs are completely inserted in the sockets 108, the photoelectric device 10 can then be rotated, via the rotatable insert 102, to the optimal position.
- the photoelectric device 10 can be orientated in a desired direction, such as a northerly direction (in the northern hemisphere and a southerly direction in the southern hemisphere) by using the indicia 114, such as the letter "N", the word “North”, an arrow pointing North, or the like, on the electrical face 112 of the rotatable insert 102 to optimize the operation of the photoelectric cell of the device 10. This can be done while the receptacle 100 remains mounted to the luminaire's housing 22. The position of the photoelectric device 10 can then be fixed in place by interlocking the outer ring 120 and the insert 102 of the receptacle 100.
