Why Choose the Finder 12.92.8.230.0000 Astronomical Time Switch?
The Finder 12.92.8.230.0000 is an advanced two-channel astronomical and electronic time switch designed for automatic control of electrical loads according to daily, weekly and calculated sunrise and sunset schedules. As part of the Finder 12 Series, it combines conventional programmable switching with astronomical control for applications where operating times need to follow seasonal changes in daylight.
This electronic time switch provides two independently programmable changeover contacts, allowing two electrical circuits to be controlled from a single device. The astronomical function can determine switching times from the selected location or entered geographical coordinates, while conventional daily and weekly programming can also be used when astronomical operation is not required.
With a 230 V AC supply, two 16 A contacts rated at 250 V AC and 60 switching positions within a daily schedule, the 12.92.8.230.0000 provides flexible control for lighting and other electrical installations. Its 35.8 mm DIN rail format, 10-year power reserve and automatic summer/winter time adjustment support dependable operation in electrical distribution boards and control panels.
