NS060-10A for Automatic LED Sign Brightness
The NovaStar NS060-10A is the 10 m cable version of the NS060 ambient light sensor. It supplies ambient-brightness measurements to a compatible control system so an LED sign can respond to daylight changes using configured brightness rules.
Choose this version when a 10 m cable suits the route between the sensor position and the controller. The sensor should share the display’s lighting environment, rather than remain inside an equipment enclosure.

Controller Connection and Sensor Placement
Connect the sensor only to equipment with a compatible light-sensor connector. The manufacturer documents use with NovaStar sending cards, asynchronous cards and multifunction cards. MSD300, MSD600 and MCTRL300 are named examples.
The original listing identifies MFN300 and MFN300-B as associated multifunction hardware. Check the exact device, connector and brightness-control setup for your installation.
For outdoor mounting, follow the manufacturer’s advice to apply outdoor waterproof adhesive at the sensor-body/substrate joint and inspect it regularly. Set up the controller’s brightness rules and check the response under the lighting conditions at the display.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between NS060-10A and NS060-30A?
The NS060 V1.1.4 model table identifies 10 m for NS060-10A and 30 m for NS060-30A. Select the cable length that reaches an appropriate sensor position.
Will the sensor dim an LED sign automatically?
It measures ambient brightness for automatic control by compatible NovaStar equipment. The connected control system must be configured with the required brightness behavior.
Can I connect NS060-10A to any controller?
No. It needs a compatible light-sensor connector. Check the exact sending card, asynchronous controller or multifunction device before connecting it.
Does the sensor need its own external power adapter?
The specification states that no external power supply is required. Its rated voltage is 5 V DC through the compatible sensor connection.
Where should I mount the light sensor?
Place it in the same lighting environment as the LED display. For outdoor installation, seal the sensor-body/substrate joint as instructed and inspect that joint regularly.
