Finder’s Astro 12.81 time switch provides a solution to control lighting, temperature or other functions according to daylight hours. This easily programmable time switch employs a unique digital program to calculate sunrise and sunset times by entering the locations postcode.
The latest versions now offers added flexibility, with the capability to override the Astro ON time with time-switch settings, further reducing energy waste.
Due to the increasing pressures to reduce energy consumption, the Astro will control lighting, heating/cooling and humidity equipment in commercial, residential and industrial applications wherever sunrise and sunset times are crucial in determining operational times.
The Astro’s micro controller stores postcode data from 16 European countries, including the UK which allows for the exact calculation of seasonal sunrise and sunset times. In addition, geographical co-ordinates can also be used to calculate precise timing.
The output switching can be advanced or retarded about the calculated sunrise or sunset time in 10- minute increments- up to a maximum of 90 minutes. However, a manual override of the output status allows for maintenance or one-off events when needed.
With a 16 A 250 V AC rated output contact and a 120 A 5 ms peak current rating, the Astro time switch is capable of directly switching 2000 W halogen, 750 W compensated fluorescent, 200 W CFL or LED lamp loads and AC15 loads up to 750 VA.
The integral back-up battery, which is easily replaceable from the front, features an automatic power save mode which helps to extend battery life.
