Theben TR 612 top3 Digital Time Switch with Weekly Programming, 2 Channels, DIN Rail Mount

Theben TR 612 top3 Digital Time Switch

The TR 612 top3 is a sophisticated two‑channel digital time switch designed for precise control of electrical loads such as LED lighting, heating elements, or small appliances. Its compact DIN rail mount makes it ideal for integration into distribution boards, panelboards, or any industrial and residential application where space efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Key Features

• Dual‑Channel Operation: Two independent channels allow separate scheduling for two distinct loads. Each channel can be programmed to turn on or off at different times, providing maximum flexibility.
• Weekly Programming: The device supports a full week’s schedule with up to eight start/stop events per day per channel. This enables complex lighting schemes such as dawn‑to‑dusk operation for street lights or office environments.
• App‑Based Configuration: A dedicated mobile application (compatible with iOS and Android) allows users to set schedules, adjust times, and monitor status remotely. The app syncs via Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth, depending on the model variant.
• Display & LED Backlight: An illuminated LCD display shows current time, day of week, and channel status. The backlight ensures readability even in low‑light conditions.
• Automatic Daylight Saving Time Adjustment: The switch automatically switches between summer and winter time based on the configured region, eliminating manual adjustments.
• Power Reserve (Gangreserve): A built‑in battery backup guarantees that scheduled events are executed even during a power outage. The reserve lasts up to ten years under normal operating conditions.
• High Current Capacity: Each channel can handle up to 16 A at 230–240 V AC, making it suitable for most residential and light commercial loads.
• IP20 Enclosure: The device is dust‑protected but not water‑resistant, fitting standard indoor installations.
• DIN Rail Mounting: With a depth of 60 mm, the TR 612 top3 fits comfortably on standard DIN rails without requiring additional mounting hardware.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Wiring

The TR 612 top3 is designed for straightforward installation on a DIN rail. Connect the line (L) and neutral (N) to the common terminals, then wire each load to its respective channel terminal. The device includes a built‑in fuse holder for added safety. Always ensure that the total current does not exceed the rated capacity of the switch.

Programming Workflow

1. Set Current Time: Use the physical buttons or the mobile app to synchronize the internal clock.
2. Create a Schedule: For each channel, define start and stop times for every day of the week. The interface allows up to eight events per day.
3. Activate Daylight Saving: Enable automatic adjustment so that the switch compensates for seasonal time changes.
4. Save and Verify: Confirm that the schedule is active by checking the display or app status. The device will automatically execute the programmed events.

Typical Applications

• LED Lighting Control: Ideal for controlling indoor and outdoor LED fixtures, ensuring energy savings by turning lights off during unneeded periods.
• Heating Systems: Schedule heating elements to operate only during occupied hours, reducing consumption.
• Security Lighting: Automate exterior security lamps to activate at dusk and deactivate at dawn.
• Industrial Automation: Use the dual channels to manage auxiliary equipment or backup systems in a factory setting.

Benefits of Using the TR 612 top3

• Energy Efficiency: Precise timing reduces unnecessary power draw, contributing to lower utility bills and greener operations.
• Convenience: Remote app control eliminates the need for manual switches or hard‑wired timers.
• Reliability: The long‑lasting battery backup ensures that critical schedules are maintained even during outages.
• Compact Design: The 60 mm depth and DIN rail compatibility make it suitable for tight spaces without compromising performance.
