Astronomical timer 12.A2.8.230.0000

Smart lighting and device control with astronomical clock Finder 12.A2.8.230.0000

The Finder 12.A2 astronomical clock is an advanced device for automatic switching on and off of lighting and other electrical devices, based on sunrise and sunset. It is an ideal solution for both installers looking for reliable equipment and end-users wanting to increase comfort and save energy. Thanks to astronomical programming, the clock adjusts to the changing daily cycle, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.

Functionality and features

The clock offers two independent switching channels, each capable of handling a current of up to 16A (with a short-term switching capacity of up to 120A for 5ms). This allows you to control two separate circuits, e.g. external and internal lighting, a driveway gate or an irrigation system. Programming is intuitive – possible both using the built-in joystick and via the Finder Toolbox mobile application using NFC technology. This makes configuration quick and convenient, and you always have access to settings at your fingertips.

• Astronomical programming: Automatic adjustment to sunrise and sunset for optimal use of daylight.
• Two switching channels: Ability to control two independent electrical circuits.
• Weekly program: Allows you to create individual schedules for each day of the week.
• Pulse program: Useful for controlling devices requiring a short-term on/off signal.
• High accuracy: Accuracy per day is only 1.5 seconds, ensuring precise operation of the device.
• DIN rail mounting: Standard DIN rail mounting simplifies installation in electrical switchboards.
• Potential-free switching contacts: Ensure compatibility with different types of loads and minimize the risk of interference.
• Autonomy: In the event of a power failure, the clock retains settings for a long time – even up to 6 years thanks to an autonomy of over 52,000 hours!

The clock is compatible with a mains voltage of 230V AC (50/60 Hz) and has a protection class of IP20, which means protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The width of the device is 35 mm (2 modules), the depth is 60.8 mm and the height is 88.8 mm – compact dimensions allow for easy adaptation to existing electrical infrastructure.
