Theben TR642top3 BLE RC digitale tijdschakelaar met astro- en jaarprogramma, 2 kanalen, 3 TE

Managing time-dependent electrical loads—lighting, heating, pumps, or signage—requires precise, flexible scheduling that adapts to daily, weekly, and seasonal changes. The Theben TR642top3 BLE RC digital time switch solves this by combining two independent channels, astronomical and annual programming, and modern Bluetooth connectivity in a compact 3-module DIN rail housing. Whether you need to automate a building's exterior lights according to sunrise and sunset, run complex holiday schedules, or simply reduce energy waste, this device delivers reliable, high-precision switching with a 10-year power reserve.

Who is it for

Electricians, facility managers, and advanced DIY users who need a robust, programmable timer for commercial or residential installations. It is ideal for controlling lighting, HVAC equipment, irrigation, or any load requiring up to 16 A per channel. The Bluetooth interface and app support make it easy to configure from a smartphone, while the OBELISK top3 interface allows PC programming for larger projects.

Tips

Use the astronomical function to automatically switch outdoor lighting based on sunrise and sunset times for your location, eliminating the need for manual adjustments throughout the year. For holiday periods, the annual program can be set to switch off non-essential circuits, saving energy and enhancing security. The Theben app simplifies setup and allows you to copy programs to multiple devices, ideal for larger installations.
