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.

Key Advantages

  • Advanced two-channel astronomical and electronic time switch for automatic electrical load control.
  • Two independently programmable changeover contacts allow separate control of two circuits.
  • Automatic switching according to sunrise and sunset using location or geographical coordinates.
  • 230 V AC supply suitable for mains-powered electrical installations.
  • 1 minute minimum switching interval provides precise scheduled control.
  • 10-year power reserve supports dependable timekeeping following initial operation.

Key Features

  • Finder 12 Series astronomical time switch.
  • Astronomical, daily and weekly programming.
  • Two independently programmable channels.
  • 2 CO changeover contacts.
  • 16 A maximum continuous contact current.
  • 250 V AC rated contact voltage.
  • 230 V AC supply voltage.
  • 60 switching positions within a daily schedule.
  • 1 minute minimum switching interval.
  • Automatic summer/winter time adjustment.
  • Permanent OFF/ON manual switching.
  • PIN code protection for stored programmes.
  • Programming possible without the mains supply connected.
  • 35.8 mm wide DIN rail format.

Reliable Astronomical Time Control for Lighting and Electrical Installations

Astronomical time switches such as the Finder 12.92.8.230.0000 automatically calculate sunrise and sunset according to the configured geographical location. This allows connected equipment to follow seasonal daylight changes without requiring an external light sensor or continual manual adjustment of fixed switching times.

The Finder 12.92 combines astronomical operation with conventional daily and weekly scheduling. Its two channels can be programmed independently, while 60 switching positions, a 1 minute minimum switching interval, automatic summer/winter adjustment and PIN-protected programming provide flexible control for professional electrical installations.

Typical Applications

  • Street and municipal lighting control.
  • Car park and external area lighting.
  • Garden and landscape lighting.
  • Illuminated signs and shop displays.
  • Building exterior lighting systems.
  • Electrical loads requiring daily, weekly or sunrise and sunset-based switching.
