Preface This is the harmonized ANCE, CSA Group, and ULSE standard for Nonindustrial Photoelectric Switches for Lighting Contro l. It is the first edition of NMX-J-715-ANCE, the first edition of CSA-C22.2 No. 284-16, and the sixth edition of UL 773A. This edition of UL 773A supersedes the previous edition published on February 10, 2006. This harmonized standard has been jointly revised on January 16, 2024. For this purpose, CSA Group and ULSE are issuing revision pages dated January 16, 2024, and ANCE is issuing a new edition dated January 16, 2024. This harmonized standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certification, (ANCE), CSA Group and ULSE Inc. (ULSE). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Subcommittee, on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. The CSA Group standard also replaces the following Technical Information Letters (T.I.L.), for products covered in this Standard: – TIL No. A-15 Photo-electric switches This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. The present Mexican standard was developed by the CT 23 Electrical Accesries from the Comite de Normalizacion de la Asociacion de Normalizacion y Certificacion, A.C., CONANCE, with the collaboration of the Electrical of manufactures, manufacturers and users. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Integrated Committee on Wiring Devices, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been developed in compliance with the Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope 1.1 Requirements contained in this Standard cover controls of the light-sensitive or presence-sensitive types, or both; for indoor or outdoor service; intended for the control of indoor or outdoor loads up to a maximum of 20 A and maximum 347 V; intended for installations on 50 Hz or 60 HZ systems or DC up to 60 V (for US); and DC up to 42.4 V (for Canada); and intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code) Part I, CSA C22.2 No. 0, and NOM 001 SEDE. 1.2 These requirements do not cover controls intended to be used under the following conditions: a) Devices that are locking type, used for area or roadway lighting fixtures; b) Devices that monitor or control safety critical loads or personal protection circuits; c) Devices intended to be installed in areas designated hazardous locations; d) Devices intended to be installed for manufacturing process control.
