NS060-30A Ambient Light Sensor for LED Displays
The NovaStar NS060-30A measures surrounding light so a compatible LED control system can adjust screen brightness automatically. Its 30 m cable allows the sensor to be positioned in the same lighting environment as the display while the control equipment is installed elsewhere.
For outdoor signs and billboards, ambient-light-based control helps the screen respond to changing daylight. Brightness behavior depends on the settings of the connected control system.

Connection and Outdoor Installation
The NS060 series connects to sending cards, asynchronous cards or multifunction cards that provide a compatible light-sensor connector. The manufacturer names MSD300, MSD600 and MCTRL300 as examples and illustrates a multifunction-card connection. Check the sensor connector on the exact controller before selecting the cable route.
Install the sensor in the same environment as the LED display. After assembly, the manufacturer recommends outdoor waterproof adhesive at the joint between the sensor body and mounting substrate, followed by regular checks of that joint. The IP65 rating should be considered together with this installation guidance.
Specification Download and Model Note
The existing download below is an older V1.0.3 document specifically for NS060-5A with a 5 m cable. It is retained for reference. The table above uses the later NS060 V1.1.4 document, which explicitly identifies NS060-30A as the 30 m version.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the NS060-30A cable?
The manufacturer’s NS060 V1.1.4 specification lists a 30 m cable for NS060-30A. The 5A, 10A and 100A variants have different documented cable lengths.
What light levels can the sensor measure?
The specified brightness measurement range is 0 to 65,535 lux. A compatible control system uses the measured ambient light for automatic display brightness adjustment.
Does NS060-30A need a separate power supply?
No separate external power supply is required. The sensor is rated at 5 V DC and connects to compatible equipment through its light-sensor connection.
Is NS060-30A suitable for outdoor use?
The NS060 V1.1.4 specification lists IP65, an operating temperature of −20°C to +70°C and humidity of 0%–99% RH without condensation. Follow the manufacturer’s sealing and inspection guidance for the mounting joint.
Why does the retained PDF say NS060-5A?
The original download is a V1.0.3 document for the 5 m NS060-5A. It is not the exact cable-length specification for the 30 m NS060-30A; the table on this page identifies the later document used for that variant.
