CBI-electric: low voltage’s newly launched touch-screen programmable QAT-TRDM Electronic Time Switch can be used in residential, commercial and industrial applications to control geysers, lights, air conditioners, pool pumps etc.
The new touch-screen timer fulfils the need for a reliable time switch that is quickly installed and simple to set up, all within a compact form factor. “The current trend for energy and cost savings, as well as a reduced carbon footprint, calls for load control,” says Manuel Ribeiro, product manager at CBI-electric. “In addition the consumer wants a ‘set-and-forget’ experience.”
Consumers can realise energy and cost savings by installing the timer on geysers. Business owners can use the device automatically to switch billboard/storefront signage to save costs and energy. The time switch is perfect for automating lights at home or the office as well as ensuring that driveway or security lights are activated at night. The touch-screen timer is also ideal for automating pool pumps and water features.
The unit has an LCD touch-screen that enables the simple setting of time and programs. It allows for multiple On/Off programs and has improved 15 minute segments with a graphical display on the home screen showing the 24 hour program schedule. The time switch also has a manual by-pass facility with On/Off control. The device is compact in size with both DIN and Mini rail mount options. During a power outage the backup power displays time for 12 hours and keeps time for at least 24 hours with the programmed schedule always being retained. The rechargeable reserve power feature is particularly useful in South Africa with the frequent load shedding and power outages that we are experiencing countrywide.
To assist users there is a QR code inside the lid of the timer that if scanned takes the user to the CBI-electric website where the Installation and Programming guide is available. Ribeiro states, “This is a very useful feature, as often the box containing the instruction guide is thrown away after installation.”
The time switch is rated for single phase, 50 Hz at 230 V with a maximum resistive load of 21 A for geysers, under floor heating and lights, and a maximum inductive load of 10 A for pool pumps and air conditioners. It can be combined with a contactor to switch higher currents or three phase loads, if required.
