AT electro-mechanical time switches

AT electro-mechanical time switches are especially needed in systems where


the controlgear is switched ON and OFF with long intervals between, e.g. 15-30
minutes for the daily versions and 2 hours for the weekly ones.

These electro-mechanical time switches are available in daily


and weekly version with 16A contact, 1NO for the 1 module
version and 1NO/NC for the 2 and 3 modules version. They
can be operated according to a program or they can be set to
a permanent ON function (ON-OFF for the 3-module version).

4 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

The -R type are equipped with an internal battery, which is


normally which enables them to maintain their timing function
even in case of lengthy power supply failures.
These switches are suitable for installation in the lighting
systems of shops, public buildings, schools, heating and
irrigation systems and so forth.

Main features
- The dial is clearly visible from the front
- Accurate and readable indication of the time
- The dial is completely accessible without tools
- Sealable and loss-proof cover to prevent unauthorised
access
- RoHS compliant

Other features of the range


- 200 hours running reserve for AT1-R, AT3-R and AT3-7R
and 150 hours for AT2-R and AT2-7R
- 1, 2 and 3 module versions
- Daily and weekly versions with and without reserve
- Loss-proof screw terminals
- Simple and compact design
- Minimum switching time:
- 15 for AT1, AT1-R, AT3 and AT3-R (daily versions)
- 30 for AT2 and AT2-R (daily versions)
- 210 for AT2-7R (weekly version)
- 120 for AT3-7R (weekly version)

How many modules do you need?


1 m odule is the right choice when you need to save space on
the DIN rail, but the switching dial is not fully readable.
3 m odules are ideal for a fully readable of the dial and thus
of the programming.
2 modules is the right compromise.

When you must to use the running reserve?


Always! The running reserve keeps the time switch
synchronized even in a blackout. Time switch without running
reserve has no battery. This means it is more economical, but
it needs to be regulated again after a power failure. It is only
suitable when the installation has an UPS.

ATP electro-mechanical time switches for panel mounting

ATP electro-mechanical time switches are especially needed in systems where a


DIN rail installation is not available or convenient. Furthermore ATP ensure better
visualization and programming thanks to complete visibility of the dial.

These electro-mechanical time switches are available in daily


and weekly version with and without running reserve. They are
also equipped with auxiliary ON-OFF switch to force contact
position during installation and maintenance.
The -R type are equipped with an internal battery, which is
normally enables them to maintain their timing function even
in case of lengthy power supply failures.
These switches are a flexible solution to control pumps,
motors, machinery, lighting and watering circuits and so forth.
Compared to the series of DIN rail time switches AT, they
differ by:
- the multiple installation options: wall, panel or flush, in
addition to DIN rail
- the large frontal dial, that can be easily programmed with
fingers and is visible from far away.

When you must to use the running reserve?


Always! The running reserve keeps the time switch
synchronized during a blackout. Time switch without running
reserve has no battery. This means it is more economical, but
it needs to be regulated again after a power failure. It is only
suitable when the installation has an UPS.

D Line digital time switches

D Line is ABBs new range of digital time switches. An exclusive design, featuring
a backlit white LCD display, plus extremely easy use with two lines of text menu
and just four pushbuttons, make the D Line products ideal for automating the
functions of the installation.

Thanks to the pioneering way in which vacation periods


can be managed, the new D Line allows you to override the
normal weekly program for one or more periods of the year or
even through different years.
The range includes versions with 1 and 2 channels, equipped
with large capacity internal batteries so they are able to
function during a blackout and an EEPROM permanent data
store, to ensure that the scheduled program is followed and
the date and hour settings are maintained even during a
power failure.

14 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

The PLUS versions can copy one or more programs and


transfer them to different devices by means of a flash drive,
without wasting time and avoiding re-programming errors.
The SYNCHRO versions can be combined with the D DCF
antenna, allowing the circuit-breaker to be automatically
synchronized with the DCF77 Frankfurt timing signal, or
with the D GPS antenna, which synchronizes with the signal
received by the Global Positioning System and provides a
more precise solution than the terrestrial transmissions. These
versions are required when one or more circuit-breakers need
to be kept synchronized, even when installed in unattended
areas.

Operating principle
- Management of vacation periods, which can be
programmed at different times of the year
- Multilanguage menu, with a choice of 11 different languages
- Zero cross switching, for a longer lasting relay and the
actual load itself
- LCD display with high-level contrast, providing optimum
visibility in all conditions thanks to timed backlighting
- 1 second minimum switching time
- Product warranty management: the internal clock and
battery activate when the time switch is first installed
- Monitored maintenance for the connected equipment: the
count-down function transmits an alert to the display after a
preset number of operating hours

Available accessories
- DCF77 antenna
- GPS antenna
- Programming key
- Programming software and USB interface

Why are the new D Line time switches supplied without


a preset date and time?
Unlike the models already preset in the factory, the D Line
battery does not discharge as it maintains the settings during
a long storage period. This allows the customer to benefit
from full battery life, as the battery begin to operate when the
keypad is pressed for the first time.

Range specifications
- Vast choice of programs: standard, cyclic, random and
vacation
- Permanent or temporary override function, activated with a
single touch
- Programming via menus with 4 simple keys
- The status of each contact is clearly displayed
- Full graphic display of the switching sequence established
by the program for each of the channels of the day in
question
- Generously sized 34 mm LCD display
- External inputs for connecting one or more remote controls,
e.g.: circuit-breakers or pushbuttons
- 64 memory locations
- Accuracy of 0.5 seconds/day
- Automatic summer/winter time switch-over
- 6 years running reserve (lithium battery)
- Sealable and loss-proof cover to prevent unauthorised
access

What does zero cross switching mean?


The device is able to monitor the network sinusoid and to
switch the load at the exact instant in which the voltage is
annulled. This allows extremely high maximum loads to be
obtained while ensuring that both the relay and the load itself
are longer lasting.

The special functions of the new range
Standard program
The standard function allows one or more series of opening
and closing operations to be performed so as to control loads
such as the lighting and heating systems in a school.
The ON time and the OFF time can differ in an independent
way in both channels (lighting ON from MON to FRI from
08:00 hrs to 18:00 hrs and heating ON from MON to FRI from
07:00 hrs to 10:00 hrs).

illuminated sign or the school bells. The ON time and the OFF
time can vary from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes and
59 seconds.
Illuminated sign
In the example, the illuminated sign comes on at 19:00 hrs
and generates a series of impulses lasting for 10 seconds ON
and OFF, until 02:00 hrs in the morning.

Vacation program
The vacation program allows the normal programs to be
halted for an established period. This is very useful during
the vacation period. The vacation program can also manage
periods spanning different years, such as the period from
Christmas to Epiphany.
Heating system in an office
The example shows that the office heating system was turned
OFF from 16:00 hrs on 24 December 2009 for the Christmas
holiday period and ON again at 08:00 hrs on 6 January 2010
when the office opened again.

Random program
The random program allows you to turn the utility ON and
OFF in the random mode, so as to simulate the presence of
persons in unmanned places, for example.
Villa
The example shows how the random program simulates the
presence of persons in a villa during the evening hours.

Accessories for Plus and Synchro
D KEY
D KEY programming key for executing programs recorded in
the key, transferring programs from the time switch to the key
and vice versa, and for reading the programs in the key.

D SW software
You can program the D Line digital time switches from your
PC thanks to D SW software, which allows you to work
through the programming steps in a quick and simple way
while comfortably seated at your desk.
This is because the program can be transferred to the
programming key and then copied into several devices
without the risk of re-programming errors.
Once created, the program can be saved in a file in the PDF
format, ready to be printed and stored inside the switchboard.

The programming key allows you


to execute a program in the EMD
external memory in the automatic
mode, save the programs in the
time switch or ones that have
been created with the DSW
programming software in the
DKEY flash drive and then work
through the procedures in reverse.
The vacation programs can also be
uploaded and downloaded to and
from the D KEY.

D DCF77 antenna
This antenna receives the hourly texts transmitted by
the DCF77 emitter situated in Mainflingen, Germany, in
the Frankfurt region. The programmers are automatically
positioned on the time, date and on the exact summer or
winter timeframe. The antenna allows up to 10 programmers
in series to be maintained in the synchronized state. The
power of the emitter of Frankfurt am Main is 50 kW and its
range is about 2,500 km. The signal is sometimes received
in a discontinuous way and not all places could be covered
owing to dead zones created by the territory, especially
in countries that are fairly far from the emitter. Italy is fully
covered. The reception is optimal when the marked antenna
face is pointed towards Frankfurt.

Up to 10 programmers can be
piloted with the DDCF77 and
DGPS antennas. The polarity is
of no importance for the first
programmer connected, unlike
the following ones, which must
comply with the polarity dictated
by the first.

D GPS antenna
The D GPS antenna provides an accurate localization and
time information in all weather conditions, both day and
night in any part of the world, since the time is obtained from
several sources at the same time, thus allowing the clock to
compensate for delays. The synchronization received from
the Global Positioning system provides a more accurate value
than the terrestrial transmissions. The GPS system combines
the time supplied by various atomic clocks installed on board
the satellites of the system with the time given by a network of
terrestrial stations and corrects the errors.

D Line digital time switches

Operating principle
The D2 two-channel digital time switches enable to open
and close circuits according to a daily or weekly program,
controlling single loads or group of loads even when they
require different time controls with a common time reference.
In this example, the digital time switch D2 allows the
operation of heating as well as lighting systems of a church
when services are performed; when no service is performed,
the device only controls the heating system.

AUXILIARIES

L1

D2

Application environments
The D2 two-channel digital time switches are particularly
indicated in environments and situations requiring the
management of multiple loads according to a time program
flexible enough to include or exclude their application based
on the day of the week (offices, schools, public areas, etc.).

L1

Installation example
As shown in the diagrams, one of the possible applications
is to install the D2 two-channel digital time switch inside the
power supply circuit of a church, where in the days when
no service is performed only the heating system is activated
(programmed ON one of the two channels) at a preset time,
while on Sundays and when services are performed the
lighting system is also switched ON (through a program
on the second channel). According to the controlled system
power, the activation is performed by an ESB contactor.

D 365 Line yearly digital time switches

Used for the most sophisticated programming configurations, D 365 Line yearly
digital time switches can resolve the continuous demands of automation systems in
both residential by controlling multiple loads or even groups of independent loads
that require temporally differentiated commands but with a common time reference.

Thanks to its extreme flexibility in use characterized by


extensive availability of 800 memory locations and the
possibility to manage up to 8 independent contacts, D 365
is especially suitable for managing small automated systems,
allowing you to control multiple utilities of utility groups that
require time differentiated commands, but with a common
time reference.
The backlit display provides a clear view even in the dark.
The lithium battery, with a 10 year life, can be replaced thus
extending the lifetime of the device. Like the weekly version,
D 365 is equipped with various functions such as the impulse,
cyclic, holiday, random, hour counter and countdown,
in addition to being able to maintain the hour and date
synchronized with the hourly signal received by the DCF77 or
GPS antenna.
D 365 yearly digital time switch can be programmed directly
on your PC thought the programming software, which makes
it quick and easy to create programs. The program can infact
be either transferred to a D 365 KEY portable memory unit,
and then copied from there to multiple devices, thus avoiding
reprogramming errors, or through the D 365 LAN module

26 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

which, through the local network or internet, allows a PC to


receive the program and then send it to the yearly time switch
by using the PowerLine communication protocol. Always
using the programming software, you can use the digital
clock a conventional astronomical time switch. By defining the
latitude and longitude of the geographical place of installation,
it is possible to automatically control the circuit lighting based
on sunrise and sunset times.
The D 365 CE channel extension unit, in 2 exchange contacts,
is instead coupled to the D 365 yearly time switch to expand
the number of contacts managed from 2 to a maximum of
8. The D 365 DCF77 antenna, used in conjunction with the
device, enables it to be automatically synchronized with
the official DCF77 Frankfurt time signal, broadcast via long
waves radio, with a maximum range of about 2500 km from
Frankfurt. The D 365 GPS antenna is available to ensure good
coverage around the world in any weather condition. This
antenna used the synchronization received from the Global
Positioning System, and provides more precise values than
terrestrial transmissions.

D 365 Line yearly digital time switches


Accessories of the range
CE channel extension
The D 365 CE channel extension unit allows you to expand
the number of channels of D 365 up to a maximum of 8.
In fact thanks to the switching commands received through
the PowerLine communication protocol, you can install
D 365 and the related D 365 CE channel extension in
separate switchboards, for example on different floors, but
you must always take care to respect the maximum distance
of 50 m. On the front of the device you can view the state of
the channels on a moment by moment basis by means of the
LED lights.

LAN module
Thanks to the D 365 LAN module, if connected to a router
or a switch, you can easily create the program on your home
computer, transfer it through the internet or local network to
the D 365 LAN module, and then to the D 365 yearly time
switch via the PowerLine communication protocol. Using the
D 365 LAN you can:
- upload/download programs;
- download count times;
- set the time and the date of the programmer.

Programming key
The external memory D 365 KEY manages up to 4 programs,
including holidays. It allows you to run a program, contained
within it, on the D 365 yearly time switch, to save or copy
the programs in the clock or created using the programming
software.

The D 365 DCF77 antenna receives signal synchronization


radio from the DCF77 emitter located in Mainflingen,
Germany. The broadcast power is 50kW with a range of
2500 km. Sometimes the signal is received intermittently and
not all locations may be covered due to shadows caused by
the land, especially in countries far away from the emitter; in
any case, Italy has full coverage.

GPS antenna
The D 365 GPS antenna allows you to receive the time
signal broadcast by the Global Positioning System. Due to
the high broadcasting frequency, this type of signal, unlike
terrestrial broadcasts, offers the advantage of being immune
to atmospheric disturbances with no risk of interruption, but
the greatest advantage is that it can be received anywhere in
the world. Therefore, thanks to no disturbances, the extreme
precision, and full coverage, GPS receivers are soon bound
to completely replace terrestrial signals in all industrial
sectors.

Webserver
The webserver is a useful tool that through communication
with D 365 LAN allows you to monitor on a moment by
moment basis and modify, if necessary, the status of the
channels on the D 365 yearly programmer or on the
D 365 CE channel expansion.
In fact, thanks to the possibility to receive information about
any failures, power outages, battery status, status of the
tasks, or correct transmission of the program via email, the
user is always updated on the status of the system, thus
improving the secure state as well as guaranteeing rapid
maintenance or overhaul.

PowerLine communications
PowerLine is the communication protocol used for
transmitting data through the power cord of the yearly time
switch used in narrowband within the electric network. The
exchange of information between programmers, channel
extensions and LAN device, are ensured via the connection of
the power terminals of the individual devices.

Standard 50/60 Hz AC

Main features of the modem used:


- Modulation: FSK (Frequency Shift Keying)
- Transmission frequency: 132.5 kHz
- PowerLine Interface compliant with Cenelec C band,
EN50065
- Maximum distance between programmer, channel
extensions, and LAN device, no greater than 50 m.

Modulated signal

LAN/Internet communications
The new LAN module allows you to establish a connection
between the yearly time switch and the local network or
internet.
If the programs are created using the programming software,
they can be transmitted easily from your desktop via the local
network or internet to the LAN module which is then able to
communicate with the yearly time switch using the PowerLine
communication protocol.

D 365 GPS

D 365 DCF77

In addition to enabling the exchange of programs, the LAN


module also carries out the service function at the same time.
In fact you can be informed of any faults, power failures, low
batteries, etc.
Thanks to this type of transmission you can control the
incoming programs and the service functions in a remote area
of the system such as an office or control room, thus avoiding
any bothersome movements and accordingly, wasting time.

Installation

32 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

Operating principle
As illustrated in the diagrams, among one of the possible
applications involves the installation of a D 365 yearly digital
time switch with two D 365 CE channel extensions in the
power supply circuit of an industrial building, where during
workdays the lighting and heating system of the various levels
of the building turn on in the morning and remain on until the
evening, in addition to periodically enabling the shift
change sirens. The large amount of memory space in the time
switch makes it possible to automate the system for the entire
current year and define all holiday periods where the loads
remain shut off. This helps to save energy and prevent the risk
of reprogramming errors. When associated
with the D 365 DCF77 antenna, the time switch will always
be synchronized with the exact time, thus avoiding having to
make adjustments over time.

Installation example
With yearly digital time switches you can automate one
or more utilities according even complex and articulated
programs with daily, weekly, monthly, and annual frequency.
In addition to switching, programming includes impulsive
controls, cyclical ON/OFF, and even astronomical functions.
Under the constant control of the D 365 model,
lighting and heating, and even sirens, will start in the various
floors at a set hour.

Application environments
The installation of a D 365 yearly digital time switch, is
particularly suited for schools, hospitals, train stations,
airports, industrial factories, public buildings, malls, etc.
where the perfect operation of all devices are required at a set
time.

D 365 Line yearly digital time switches

Programmed with the utmost flexibility, the D 365 yearly digital time switch is ideal
for creating automated installations where several users or groups of users are
controlled separately, such as lighting, air conditioning, signalling systems or similar.

In this example installation, the D 365 yearly digital time


switch acts as a central unit. The module controls two
NO/NC contacts (channels 1 and 2) and three D 365 CE
channel extension units. This means that a total of eight users
are controlled by the system.
The D 365 CE extension, which can each control two 16 A
channels, are installed in the switchgear on each floor of the
building and dialog with the D 365 module via the electric
cables using the Powerline protocol.
The yearly digital time switch can be installed up to 50 meters
from the expansion module.
D 365 CE channel extension allow the state of the unit
and connected users to be kept under continuous local
control thanks to the LEDs on the front.
In the diagram, the system controls the power supplied
to certain users on different floors of an office building, turning
them on or off depending on the time of day, the period,
the season, when the sun rises or sets and other complex
patterns.
The system can automate this cycle throughout the entire
year, thus taking account of changes in the climate and light
intensity, holidays, periods when the company is closed, etc.

34 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

Not only does this sort of management save energy, it also


reduces wear on the equipment and cuts down on the need
for maintenance work.
When it comes to developing even extremely complex
monitoring patterns, D 365 can count on support from
800 memory locations.
The commands can be programmed via a PC using simple
software (D 365 SW). Once created, the program can be
copied into the D 365 with a USB flash drive (D 365 KEY),
or can be sent via e-mail to a LAN module (D 365 LAN)
and then to the D 365 using the Powerline communication
protocol.
D 365s backlit display clearly shows the state of the unit,
while a replaceable lithium battery ensures that the date, time
and programs remain stored for up to 10 years in the absence
of mains supply.
The D 365 module can be used in conjunction with the
D 365 DCF77 antenna so as to automatically synchronize with
the official Frankfurt time signal transmitted via radio over
a maximum range of about 2,500 km. The D 365 GPS
antenna, which uses the synchronization received from the
Global Positioning System, can be installed in applications
where greater precision is required or in the presence of
specific environmental or geographical conditions.

E 232 staircase lighting time-delay switches with switch-off


warning
ABBs E 232 staircase lighting switches comprise electro-mechanical and electronic
versions, with 3 or 4-wire wiring. These devices are ideal for timed management of
lights in passageways (corridors, staircases, entrances, etc.).

Staircase lighting time-delay switches are generally


controlled by pushbuttons equipped with glow lamps.
Designed for a glow lamp current up to 150 mA, they can be
used in buildings with several floors.
The E 232 staircase lighting switch is equipped with an
electro-mechanical timer with a synchronous motor drive
that guarantees highly reliable operation in whatever position
it is installed. The switch-off time can be regulated from
1 to 7 minutes at intervals of 15 seconds and is resettable after
30 seconds.
The E 232E staircase lighting switch has an electronic timing
function. The most important features of the device are: a high
switching capacity; 150 mA filament lamp current parallel to
the pushbuttons; switch-off time adjustable from 0.5 to 20
minutes; simple use; the new, extremely silent, precise and
reliable electronic motor. The electronics allow the device
to automatically recognize 3-wire systems from 4-wire ones
without the need for manual settings.

36 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

E 232E-8/230 devices feature an additional, separate control


input with an universal voltage of 8 to 230 V AC/DC.
The Multi 10 versions also feature the integrated alarm
function (2 flashing alarm signals) in accordance with
DIN18015-2 standards and a rotary selector on the front with
10 functions to choose from, divided into 4 types: timed relay
mode, latching relay mode, timed latching relay mode and
permanently on mode.
The E 232-HLM accessory, which can be used in conjunction
with the E 232-230, E 232E-230N and E 232E-8/230N series,
allows a switch-off warning device to be activated. This dims
the light intensity by 50% once the time setting of the staircase
lighting switch has elapsed: the adjustable time range is 20 to
60 seconds.

Technical specifications

Operating principle
Activated by a pulse command via a pushbutton,
the E 232 staircase light switch turns on the installations
lights for a time T1. In order to avoid an unexpected darkness
the Multi10 devices are equiped with a switch-off warning
(double flash). For the standard devices this functionality can
be realized with the half light module HLM in parallel, dimming
the light by 50%.

Application environments
Installation of the E 232 staircase lighting with switch-off
warning functionality is ideal wherever the lighting must be
timed and unexpected darkness must be avoided (staircases
and passageways in public places, cellars, garages, etc.).

Installation example
As illustrated, one among the possible applications concern
installation of the E 232 staircase switch, coupled to a HLM
half-light module, in the staircase lighting plant of a multistory
building. Pushing the push-button, the timer of the E 232
switch turns on the lights for a settable T1 time. At the end of
T1 time, the HLM half-light module dims the light by a 50% for
a T2 time in the while is possible turn on again the full lighting.

T Line twilight switches and TWA astronomical twilight switches

T Line twilight switches command lighting circuits according to the scheduled level
of the ambient light detected by a dedicated sensor.
Since they are energy-efficient, they are particularly useful in public places (garden,
parking lots, entrances, courtyards, etc)

T Line twilight switches range allow to switch ON and switch


OFF lighting devices according to a scheduled level of the
ambient light. They are used in combination with a sensor to
detect if the ambient light is higher or lower than the set level.
A switching delay prevents them from operating unnecessarily
when the light intensity suddenly changes (e.g. lighting,
moving vehicles, etc..).
The basic version T1 in one channel, is preset a 10 lux from
factory and is equipped with 2 signaling LEDs that indicate
the set point value and display the status of the contact. The
operating instructions are printed on the side of the product.
The advanced version T1 PLUS, switches feature a setpoint
that can be adjusted for 4 different scale values:
- 240 lux
- 20200 lux
- 2002000 lux
- 200015000 lux

42 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

This make them ideal for daytime applications where the


lux values to detect is very high. T1 PLUS allows also the
possibility to adjust the relay tripping in a time ranging from
15-90 sec. for switching ON and 20-120 sec. for switching
OFF. They are equipped with 2 signaling LEDs that indicate
the setpoint value and display the status of the contact.
Astronomical switches TWA-1 and TWA-2 with 1 and 2
channels respectively, automatically command lighting circuits
according to the time the sun rises and sets. The switches
are programmed by defining the longitude and latitude of the
geographical area in which they are installed. These devices
are especially suitable when use of a twilight switch with
external sensor is inadvisable since it could be liable to faults
caused by atmospheric pollution, excessive luminosity,
or vandalism.

Why are the switches given a 10 lux factory presetting?


Public lighting provides an essential function in social life and
for public administrations, is an obligatory outlay without a
direct return on the investment.
This means that both cost and management must be
optimized while guaranteeing an efficient service. Thanks to
the 10 lux factory setting, a standard value for street lighting,
ABBs twilight switches are ready for immediate installation in
public lighting system and need no adjustment.

How to set

Lux

T1
Set the desired activation threshold (from 2 to 200 Iux), using
the lux control knob.
N.B.: the position corresponding (with approximation) to the
10 lux activation threshold is marked on the front of the item.
lf the GREEN LED is illuminated, this indicates the activation
status of the threshold.
If the RED LED is illuminated, this indicates that the relay
contact is closed (illumination lit up).

T1 PLUS
1) Set the desired lux scale (2-40; 20-200; 200-2.000;
2.000-15.000), using the lux scale control knob.
N.B.: the position corresponding (with approximation) to the
10 lux activation threshold is marked on the front of the item.
lf the GREEN LED is illuminated, this indicates the
activation status of the threshold.
If the RED LED is illuminated, this indicates that the relay
contact is closed (illumination lit up).
2) Set the desired lux percentage (0%->100%), using the lux
percentage control knob.
3) Set the switching delay (MIn -> MAX), using the switching
delay control knob.

T1 POLE
1) Switch on the power supply
2) M ake the threshold adjustment (from 2 to 200 lux) by
turning the trimmer. The lighting of the red LED represents
the achievement of the threshold set (contact closed) after
having spent a period of approximately 30 seconds. since
the last adjustment.

T Line twilight switches

Operating principle
The diagram is an example of a T1 twilight switch installed
in a mall lighting system. When outdoor light drops under a
certain level (for example, in the evening store closing hours),
the device turns on window and sign lights. Lights can be
turned off during the night to rationalize consumption thanks
to the AT1 time switch.

Application environments
The installation of a T1 twilight switch with AT
electro-mechanical time switch is especially suited for
environments and situations in which energy consumption
rationalization is required (stores, office and public walkways,
car parks, parks, etc.).

Installation example
As shown in the diagrams, one of the possible applications
consists in the installation of a T1 twilight switch in a mall
lighting system. When outdoor light drops under a certain

TWA astronomical twilight switches

Operating principle
Installation of a twilight astronomical switch in a system is
particularly useful in places and situations where light sources
or other environmental conditions may cause changes in the
lux level. In these cases, TWA-1 and TWA-2 enable control of
the lighting system depending on the time when the sun rises
and sets, based on the geographic location where they are
installed.

Application environments
The TWA-1 and TWA-2 astronomical twilight switches
are particularly suitable for use in applications where
the operation of a twilight switch with external sensor is
potentially subject to alteration or damage from external
agents (e.g. smog, overexposure to light, vandalism etc.).

Installation example
One cause of reductions in the level of ambient light is
atmospheric smog. Particle deposits on the external sensor of
a traditional twilight switch can over time compromise its
operation, preventing the activation of the lighting systems
controlled. As illustrated in the diagrams, it is possible to
counter this type of problem by installing a TWA-1
astronomical twilight switch, which controls the lighting based
on the ambient light level calculated from the preset longitude
and latitude parameters.

T1 POLE twilight switches

Operating principle
This diagram is an example of the installation of a pole
mounting T1 POLE twilight switch in a highways lighting plant.
When the daylight dims below a set level, i.e. below 10 lux,
the device turns on the lighting devices in tunnels, service
areas, access road, etc. T1 POLE will turn off the lights when
morning daylight raise above 10 lux.

Application environments
The pole mounting T1 POLE twilight switch installation can be
ideal to light command in public roadways thanks to its
capability of installation in pole, lamppost, etc.

THS modular thermostats

THS series thermostats are able to control a wide range of refrigeration and heating
applications.

The THS-C and THS-W models, both equipped with a


potential-free switching contact, represent the optimum
solution for regulating the temperature in heating systems
and industrial applications and for controlling the temperature
in refrigerated counters, greenhouses, dryers or tilting
isothermal portals.
THS-1 and THS-4 sensors, which can be used in conjunction
with the THS-C and THS-W thermostats, function within
a -30 C and +130 C temperature range.
The THS-S model, with two potential-free independent
contacts and equipped with a remote sensor included
in the package, is indicated for controlling the temperature
of switchboards, providing a cooling adjustment in the
range +20 C to +60 C and anticondensation function
in the range 0 C to +10 C.

52 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

Did you know that controlling the temperature in


switchboards with the new THS-S thermostat is now
simpler?
Unlike conventional models designed for installation on walls
or panels, the THS-S modular thermostat is better able to
control the temperature in switchboards since it is mounted
on a DIN-rail, which needs no fastening accessories, and
thanks to the capacity of the relay that allows it to control
over 3kW of heating elements without the use of external
contactors.

Ease of use
The possibility of setting one or two temperature setpoints
on the front of the device and adjusting them without having
to use any tools simplifies the configuration procedure. The
instructions and diagrams are shown on the side of the
product to ensure that the necessary information is always
readily available when needed.

Accuracy
The tiny temperature difference ensures the temperature set is
maintained with great accuracy.

Visibility
Two indicator LEDs enable you to check the operation of the
device at a glance: the yellow LED signals a sensor shortcircuit and the green LED indicates the state of the contact.

Compact size
Since it is so small in size, just two DIN modules, the THS
thermostat can be used in a number of applications, even
where space is a critical factor.

THS modular thermostats

The THS-C and THS-W modular thermostats regulate the


temperature differentially, as indicated in the figure below.
When the THS-C thermostat detects a temperature below
the setpoint, it closes contact 1 until the temperature returns
above the setpoint. It then reopens the contact and, when the
temperature drops below the differential again, the cycle is
repeated.
The THS-W thermostat works in the same way but the relay
closes contact 5 when the temperature exceeds the maximum
setpoint.

THS modular thermostats

Operating principle
Modular thermometers let you control and keep a heating or
cooling element at a set temperature, comparing the value
read by the sensor with the one set by the user.
The THS range can thus guarantee switchboard operating
reliability, perfect product conservation in refrigerated
counters or cells, promote greenhouse production, optimise
drying cycles, etc.

Application environments
THS thermostat installation is thus the best way to regulate
temperature in automation and distribution switchboards,
in heating systems, in industrial applications or to control
refrigerator systems, greenhouses, dryers or isothermal
folding portals.

Installation example
As shown in the diagrams, one of the possible applications
consists in the installation of a THS-S modular thermostat
inside an automation or distribution switchboard where the
temperature must be kept at a set value. Thanks to the THS-S
thermostat, you can thus control the temperature, permitting
cooling regulations between +20 +60 C and
anti-condensation between 0 +10 C. Furthermore, you can
manage up to 3 kW of point heaters without having to use any
external contactors to manage the load.

Frequent queries and problem-solving

When is it better to use a digital time


switch rather than an electro-mechanical
one?

The permanent OFF position is not


available in the 1-channel model.
How can it be obtained?

Can more than one sensor be


connected with models T1 and
T1 PLUS?
Can different types of sensors be
connected with models T1 and
T1 PLUS?
When must an astronomical time switch
be used?

80 | Time, staircase lighting, twilight switches and thermostats

Digital time switches are more accurate, take less time


to switch and have many more programming functions
(impulsive, cyclic, random, vacation modes, etc.) than
electro-mechanical time switches. Moreover, they have
a longer-lasting running reserve (years instead of hours)
since they have no moving mechanical parts. Whatever the
application, when there are numerous, frequent and different
operations (daily, weekly or annual), the D or D365 Line series
time switches provide a better performance with only a little
difference in price.

The permanent OFF position is used for servicing work or


holiday periods. In both cases, the load can be disconnected
permanently by merely disconnecting the protection on the
supply side.

No, one sensor must always be used for each device.

No, the only sensor allowed is the LS-D type.

When the length of the connection between the device


and sensor exceeds 100 m, or when the connection is
too complicated (e.g., switchboard installed in a cellar).
When the sensor cannot be installed away from light sources
(amusement parks, camp sites, etc.).
When external agents prevent the sensor from functioning
correctly, e.g. pollution or vandalism.

Glossary

electro-mechanical: time switch programmed by moving the


positions of the metal tabs and synchronized with a quartz
battery or via the network frequency.
digital: electronic time switch equipped with an LCD display
and sometimes with a programming key so that programs can
be exchanged.
daily time setting: 24-hour periodic programming.
hourly time setting: 1-hour periodic programming.
weekly time setting: 7-day periodic programming.

GPS: the Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite


positioning system with continuous, worldwide coverage. It is
controlled by the US Department of Defense. The GPS system
combines the time supplied by various atomic clocks installed
on board its satellites, while a network of terrestrial stations
determines and corrects the errors. Since the time is obtained
from several different sources at the same time, the clock can
automatically compensate for propagation delays and other
problems, thus achieving a precision of less than one second.
Astronomical time switch: twilight or digital time switch able
to forecast the exact time the sun rises and sets according to
the date and latitude in which it is installed, without requiring
an external light sensor.

yearly time setting: 1-year periodic programming.


running reserve: interval of time during which a switch may
function normally without network supply voltage thanks
to an internal backup battery.
minimum switching time: the shortest time between an
ON-OFF cycle.
metal tabs: small sliding metal segments, generally arranged
in a circle on the frontal dial of an electro-mechanical time
switch. Their width represents the minimum switching time.
impulsive programming: programming function with an
extremely short load switching time.
cyclic program: programming function for periodically
switching the load.

switching delay: switching delay of a twilight switch.


It prevents untimely switching due to rapid changes in the
degree of light caused by external factors (e.g. the headlights
of a vehicle or the shadow cast by a cloud).
hysteresis: interval between light intensity values that cause
the ON-OFF switch to function: it prevents switching
oscillations at dawn and dusk.
EEPROM memory: programmable, non-volatile electronic
memory device that keeps store and safe the time and date
settings even during a power failure.
network frequency synchronizing: synchronizing system
of an electro-mechanical time switch by means of the network
frequency, usually ensured by a contract with a Public Utility
Company.

lux: this is the International Systems unit of measurement for


illumination (lx symbol).
DCF77: the official German time signal permanently
transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany (500 01 N, 09 00 E)
with 50kW power. The emitters reception range is around
2,500km with a precision of 1 second every 300,000 years.
