TIMERS AND CONTROL RELAYS
2
Time switches allow you to intelligently control the timing of your application, whether the task is repeated daily, modified to your weekly requirements or aligning with your sunrise and sunset to increase efficiency. The correct choice of time switch is determined by the application and user preference.
Time Switches can be used to control:
• Lighting
• Heating, cooling and ventilation
• Process equipment
• Pool/spa equipment and more
1step
2stepTime Switches - Selection:
STEP 1: Select the type of time switch:
STEP 2: Select the time switch function:
The type of time switch chosen will be determined by the required accuracy of the application and user preference.
Analogue
The analogue time switches are suited for applications that require a simple level of control, typically repeating the same schedule, day in, day out. The programming of events is captured by switching on or off the tappets/switches around the switch. Because of the limited amount of tappets, the minimum switching time is 15 minutes and thus suited for events with approximate scheduling.
Digital
The digital time switches are suited for applications that require a finer level of control and events that typically change throughout the week. Through a simple and intuitive user interface you can set the time and program weekly events to a 1 minute resolution.
The time switch function determines whether a daily, weekly or weekly with astro functionality is required. There are no digital daily time switches, however a digital weekly time switch can be used for the same purpose.
Daily Time Switch
A daily time switch allows events to be programmed on a 24hour schedule. Assuming the time switch is in automatic mode, the same timing events will occur 365 days a year.
Weekly Time Switch
A weekly time switch allows events to be programmed on a weekly basis. This allows different events to be programmed for every day of the week, or more likely weekday’s vs weekends.
Astro Time Switch
An Astro time switch includes weekly time switch functionality with the additional allowance to align control with sunrise and sunset times by specifying your location. This would typically be used for energy efficiency measures controlling lighting, heating and cooling.

3stepSTEP 3: Select the mounting type:
Choose the mounting type that is suitable for your application.
a) DIN rail
b) Panel /flush mount
c) Surface mount
All digital time switches are DIN rail only.
4step STEP 4: Select option for battery backup:
Battery backup ensures that the time switch will not lose time if mains supply is lost. Battery backup is standard on all digital time switches, however is optional on analogue time switches.
This feature is sometimes referred to as a quartz backup or a quartz driven timer.
5step STEP 5: Select the supply voltage:
The time switch supply voltage will be determined by what is available where the time switch is installed. The 230 V AC models have preferred availability, however other voltages are available.
6step STEP 6: Select the number of outputs/channels:
The number of output channels will determine how many outputs can be switched. On a 2 channel device each channel can have independent programming. Depending on the time switch, this can be a N/O or C/O contact.
