Theben TR 648 top3 RC KNX jaarschakelklok, 2-kanaals, DIN-rail, 16 A, GPS, astro, 800 programma's 6489130

The Theben TR 648 top3 RC KNX stands out as a high-precision annual time switch engineered for KNX building automation. Unlike conventional timers, it combines two independent 16 A changeover contacts with a rich suite of functions—astro, holiday, random, pulse, cycle, and hour counter—all programmable via ETS, the OBELISK top3 memory card, or directly on the backlit LCD. Its 10-year power reserve and optional GPS synchronization ensure long-term accuracy even in the event of a bus voltage failure.

Highlights

• Two channels, each with a 16 A changeover contact (SPDT) for flexible load switching
• Annual, weekly, daily, and astro programs with automatic seasonal adjustments
• 800 switching programs per channel, shortest switching time 1 second
• Manual override: permanent ON/OFF or temporary ON/OFF
• 10-year lithium battery power reserve for uninterrupted timekeeping
• Backlit LCD for clear status and programming
• KNX bus powered (21–30 V DC), only 0.3 W consumption
• Compact 2 TE (35 mm) DIN rail mounting, IP20 protection

In daily use

Install the TR 648 top3 RC KNX on a standard DIN rail in distribution boards or control cabinets. Its two channels can independently control lighting, heating, ventilation, pumps, or other loads up to 16 A each. Use the astro function to switch lights based on sunrise/sunset times, with optional offset adjustments. The holiday program prevents unnecessary switching during absences, while the random function simulates presence for security. The cycle and pulse functions are ideal for irrigation or ventilation intervals. Programming is straightforward via the front buttons and LCD, or quickly duplicated using the OBELISK top3 memory card. For KNX integration, the device can be fully configured and controlled through ETS, allowing seamless integration with other KNX actuators and sensors. The hour counter helps track operating hours for maintenance scheduling.
