Why Choose the Finder 12.A2.8.230.0000 Astro Time Switch
The Finder 12.A2.8.230.0000 is a programmable Astro time switch with two poles rated 16 A, built to switch lighting and loads in step with sunrise and sunset. It trims energy use and cuts manual adjustments by tracking the seasons automatically on a wide 110 to 230 V AC supply.
Part of the advanced 12 Series, it couples astronomical calculation by location and date with a clear digital interface for quick set up. Ideal for street and outdoor lighting, façades and signage, it delivers dependable, set-and-forget control on a 35 mm DIN rail.
Installation & Setup
The 12.A2.8.230.0000 is designed for straightforward installation by qualified electricians. It mounts directly on a 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) with front-access terminals for rapid wiring.
- Mounting: Snap fit onto DIN rail for secure placement inside the control cabinet.
- Wiring: Connect the 110 to 230 V AC supply and the two switched outputs to the lighting or load circuits using the clearly labelled screw terminals.
- Programming: Power up, set date and location on the digital display. The unit then calculates daily sunrise and sunset times automatically.
- Adjustments: Use menu options for offset, manual override, or holiday periods if required.
