I've a panel with digital time clock to control exterior lighting that I'm facing some issues with the programming the nDTC. My question is: the lighting control panel with digital time clock is enough to control the exterior lighting or I need only a photocell, or a combination of both?
Can someone with more experience point me in the right direction in this matter?
Any thoughts is very appreciated. Thank you.
 
There's not enough information. What is the load? Does the timer override the photocell at some point? Do they want a manual control option?
 
Do the plans call for the photocell? Your total load is a little more than 1600 watts, which should be fine for a typical photocell. If the plans don't fall for it, I wouldn't install it.

I have used a combination of timer and photocell to turn the lights off at a certain time. The photocell turns the lights on at dusk and the timer turns them off at midnight or whatever time the customer chooses.
 
The plans just call for lighting control panel with nDTC Acuity Brand. Can you guide me how to programming the digital time clock or some resource en la web.
