Mini digital time switch
The Mini digital time switch with a width of only 1 MW and its
hourly, daily and weekly program is ideal for replacement and
installation in distribution boards with limited space.
The Mini digital time switch can be used flexibly as it can also be
operated in battery mode with all its functionalities. Furthermore,
the actuator of the clock can be removed from its enclosure for
easy programming over the 5-way joystick prior to mounting.
Top, Profi, Astro and Expert digital time switches
Whether you are using text-assisted programming directly on the
device or user-friendly programming on the PC, the Top, Profi,
Astro and Expert digital time switches will make your work
quicker and easier.
Simple operation:
Four programming keys offer user-friendly assistance with a text
menu.
Display that is easy to read:
If you have to change the setting on the digital time switch inside
a dark control cabinet, the integrated backlit display and
illuminated control elements ensure that you retain an overview
of what is what.
Straightforward commissioning:
You can start programming immediately. Profi, Astro and Expert
are supplied with the time, date and automatic daylight savings
for Central Europe already set.
Clear contrast:
In order to retain an overview even if lighting is poor and
temperatures extreme, the display contrast can be adjusted,
practically down to the finest detail.
User-friendly programming:
Operating and programming a digital time switch has never
been so simple, straightforward and user-friendly.
1-channel time switches allow input of up to 56 switching
programs, 2-channel time switches allow up to 28 programs per
channel and 4-channel time switches up to 84 programs per
channel. This means that the Profi, Astro and Expert time
switches are ideally equipped for even the most complex of
tasks.
Each entry required is clearly indicated so no prolonged
studying of the operating instructions is required. A particularly
practical feature is that the digital time switch can be
programmed when not connected to a supply voltage.
The Profi, Astro and Expert digital time switches offer more than
reliable switching. Numerous integrated, easy-to-use functions
ensure that these problem solvers are as simple to operate as
they are versatile.
A data key enables easy programming of the Profi, Astro and
Expert digital time switches at a PC, simplifies the setting of time
switch programs and saves enormous amounts of time. This
prevents human error and enables simple copying of complete
time switch programs to different time switches.
Astro function:
The Astro and Expert time switches have one key strength: the
Astro function. The exact time of sunrise and sunset is available
for every location and every day in the year. For example, this
means that connected exterior lighting only switches on when it
gets dark – on short winter days as well as summer days, when
it is light for much longer. The advantages are clear:
• Cost-savings, because electricity is only used when the
lighting is really needed, and because this prolongs the
service life of the lighting itself. Particularly in the case of dusk-
dependent lighting controls
• Safety and convenience, because the light is always switched
on when it is dark
• Ease-of-use, because the digital time switch does not have to
be reprogrammed throughout the year
• Simplest possible installation, as the Astro digital time switch
works in the distribution board. No further need for laborious
cable laying to the light sensors. This means that it is not
necessary to lay cables across the lightning protection zones.
The compact 2-WM range is also ideally suited for subsequent
installation or replacement.
It goes without saying that the Astro and Expert digital time
switches do not just switch at dawn and dusk; complex,
combined programs are also possible. You always have the
choice between astronomically calculated and individually set
switching times, or a combination of both.
