Hi Sven,
Did you ever figure this out?
I'm trying to find the same answer. According to my understanding of the manual, you need to jumper the input to COMMON.
So in my case that looks like jumpering 13 (PHOTO) to 11 (COMMON).
I'm going to give it a try and will report back.
[UPDATE] Okay I tried this and yes it will bypass the photocell. So you have to jumper BOTH PHOTO (13) and PHOTO1 (14) to COMMON (11) in order to bypass the actual photocells. I just used a small length of wire into the connection block of the terminals.
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers ...Jay
