DCF or GPS synchronisation options: The new 8-channel KNX time switch with yearly and Astro program from Theben

(Haigerloch 2012-09-10) Theben presents a new member of the successful TR top2 time switch family: The new 8-channel KNX time switch TR 648 top2 RC KNX. Weekly, yearly and Astro program can be adjusted to individual customer requirements on the device or via OBELISK top2 software on a PC. The TR 648 top2 RC KNX gives you the choice of time synchronisation using quartz, external DCF77 or GPS antenna. There are a number of ways of programming KNX time switches: Either via onscreen text-based instructions on the device, via the KNX bus or on a PC using the intuitive OBELISK top2 software. Transfer the finished program to the time switch via OBELISK top2 memory card. The 8 channels on the digital KNX time switch are marked with a key and can be simulated, recorded and and printed on a PC. Programs can amended easily and quickly.

Versatile programming for the TR 648 top2 RC KNX digital time switch

In addition to the basic weekly program, the TR 648 top2 RC KNX 14 also has weekly programs, e.g. for company holidays, holidays or events. The different programs are administered according to priority levels and date ranges. The internal program memory with its 800 storage spaces provides enough space for storing individual programs. The integrated holiday database with bank holiday adjustment also guarantees reliable control on moveable holidays such as Easter and Whit. Astro, pulse, cycle and two random programs provide great flexibility. The integrated location database makes it easier to enter the location for the Astro program, which switches at sunrise and sunset.

Special programs and planned service intervals

Special programs, which run for set lengths of time, can easily be set by tour customers using the plug-in memory: The individual program runs once the memory card is inserted. The normal program is restored once the memory card is removed. Each of the 8 channels on the TR 648 top2 RC KNX has an integrated elapsed-time counter with reset function. The operating time of different lights can be monitored and service intervals are easier to plan.

Start-up and synchronisation

The optional GPS antenna for global time synchronisation enables the automatic identification of location and thereby makes it easier to set up the Astro program. Alternatively, the quartz-controlled KNX time switch TR 648 top2 RC KNX can also be synchronised via an optional RC antenna with the DCF77 time signal transmitter . Both antennas are connected with two-core wiring and do not need additional power supply. The DuoFix plug-in terminals of the 3 TE wide KNX time switch reduces installation time and costs. The lithium battery of the TR 648 top2 RC KNX has an 8-year power reserve and provides maximum operational security.
