Digital astronomical timer programmable, NFC, DIN mounting, 16A 12.81.8.230.0000

Digital astronomical clock – precision and comfort of lighting control

This digital astronomical clock from Finder is an advanced solution for automatic lighting control, tailored to the modern needs of both home and industrial installations. The device, mounted on a DIN rail, offers reliable operation and a wide range of programming options, ensuring optimal energy use and increased user comfort. The use of NFC technology enables intuitive configuration via smartphone, and the automatic daylight saving time/winter time function eliminates the need for manual correction.

This clock is particularly useful in places where it is important to turn on the lighting with natural dusk and turn it off with the first dawn. This ensures not only energy savings but also increased safety and convenience. The device's design guarantees stable operation in a wide range of voltages (230…230 V) and frequencies (50…60 Hz).

Functionality and application

The device is distinguished primarily by astronomical programming – it calculates sunrise and sunset times based on date, time and location coordinates. The user can easily set the location using postal codes for most European countries. Additionally, the clock has an offset function allowing programming of switching times shifted from astronomical time. The ability to program in "classic" mode using a joystick or "smart" mode via NFC-enabled smartphones provides flexibility and ease of use.

The clock is equipped with a single-pole double-throw switching contact with a switching capacity of 16A, allowing control of various electrical receivers. A width of 2 modules (35 mm) makes it easy to mount in electrical panels. The device is characterized by high accuracy (1 s/day) and long-term autonomy – up to 6 years thanks to the internal backup battery.

• Automatic adjustment to the season: Automatic daylight saving time/winter time function ensures trouble-free operation throughout the year.
• Flexible programming: Ability to choose programming mode – classic (joystick) or smart (NFC).
• Precise control: Astronomical program calculates sunrise and sunset times based on geographical location.
• High reliability: Durable construction and solid workmanship guarantee long-term use.
• Easy installation: Compact dimensions (width of 2 modules) make it easy to install on a DIN rail.
• Safety: Overload and short-circuit protection thanks to a 16A (30A for 5ms) switching contact.
• Long-term autonomy: Internal backup battery ensures maintenance of settings even during power outages for a long time (up to 6 years).
• Display of prompts: Facilitates configuration and operation of the device.

Using this clock is not only energy saving, but also increasing comfort and safety by automatically turning on the lights after dark. It is an ideal solution for single-family homes, multi-family buildings, commercial facilities and all types of outdoor installations requiring automatic lighting control.
