Why Choose the ABB E232E-230N Staircase Time Switch?
The ABB E232E-230N is a compact electronic staircase lighting time-delay switch designed to automatically switch lighting off after a selected period. As part of the ABB E232 series, it is particularly suitable for stairways, corridors, basements, entrance areas and other locations where lighting is required only for a controlled period.
The E232E-230N features an electronic time delay with a steplessly adjustable time range from 0.5–20 minutes. It can be operated using pushbuttons and supports up to 150 mA glow-lamp current parallel to the pushbuttons, making it suitable for multi-storey building installations.
With a rated voltage of 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, a 16 A resistive switching capacity and low-noise electronic operation, the E232E-230N provides dependable automatic lighting control. Its compact single-module format enables straightforward installation on DIN rails in electrical distribution boards and control panels.

Reliable Automatic Lighting Control
Staircase time switches automatically turn lighting off after a predetermined interval, helping prevent lights from remaining switched on unnecessarily. This makes them particularly useful in shared areas where lighting is activated temporarily using wall-mounted pushbuttons.
The electronic ABB E232E-230N provides a continuously adjustable delay of up to 20 minutes and supports illuminated pushbuttons with a combined glow-lamp current of up to 150 mA. Its compact modular design makes it easy to integrate into modern building distribution and lighting-control systems.
Typical Applications
- Staircase and stairwell lighting.
- Apartment and multi-storey building corridors.
- Basements and storage areas.
- Entrance halls and lobbies.
- Shared building circulation areas.
- Timed commercial and residential lighting circuits.
