Theben AG is updating and consolidating its extensive portfolio of yearly time switches. The previous top2 devices are being replaced by three top3 yearly time switches with one, two or four channels. In addition, three new top3 time switches and astro time switches with 24V operating voltage are available. The new yearly time switches not only reduce energy consumption and save time when programming. They also cover many special cases thanks to their wide range of functions.
Thanks to Bluetooth Onboard, programmes can be transferred directly from the PC, smartphone or tablet to the annual time switches.
Time synchronization for precise switching is optionally available via a DCF/GNSS connection. The switching capacity of the devices on all channels is 16A, the LED switching capacity 600W. All devices have time and astro functions with three astro times (civil, nautical and astronomical twilight). The WWF's annual Earth Hour is already pre-programmed until 2044. One external input is available per channel. This allows special requirements to be implemented via push-buttons or switches as well as a central OFF function, for example for simple vacation switching. In addition, 16 special programs with extensive date ranges are available, e.g. pre-programmed public holidays, days dependent on Easter, freely selectable days.
The WWF's annual Earth Hour is already pre-programmed until 2044. The regular Earth Hour is a major climate and environmental protection campaign launched by the WWF. Once a year, the lights are switched off for one hour all over the world as a joint signal in favour of environmental and climate protection.
The extensive year functions and external inputs open up a wide range of applications: shop window or advertising lighting can be controlled on the basis of opening times or working hours. Locking or ventilation systems can also be controlled. The lighting in schools and kindergartens can be controlled on the basis of opening times, vacation programs and public holiday programs. The astro functions can be used to control lighting in public squares, parks or parking lots at sunrise and sunset.
Simply programme timer programmes on your smartphone or tablet (Android & iOS) - graphically or in list form. Send direct commands from the app to the clock. The time updates automatically when connected to the smartphone.
BLE on board: transfer from PC/tablet/mobile phone directly to the year time switch
Time AND astro functions: 3 astro times civil, nautical, astronomical twilight
16 special programmes with annual programmes
Countless application possibilities: with functions hidden behind the external inputs
Earth hour: select once and programme until 2044
Central off function: via external input, enables simple holiday switching, for example
Databus for GNSS and DCF
Better switching capacity 16 A on all channels
Compatibility with old generation of devices: easily transferable via OBELISK
NEW Smart operation: possibility to programme via smartphone.
In addition to the new annual timers, the range of timers and astro timers with 24V operating voltage has also been revised. The three new devices (1- and 2-channel timer and 1-channel astro timer) now feature the top3 operating concept with app programming and replace the previous product range of 24V top2 devices. The 2-channel time switch offers all the functions of the new annual time switches including Bluetooth onboard and astro functions. These are very interesting for many solar applications with battery storage.
