Distributor-timer - digital - Don't you also think that many electrical consumers don't have to be in operation all day? Would you like to save costs and conserve resources? This is possible with timers for the control cabinet. Find out here which functions digital distribution time switches can take on and which special features you should pay attention to when buying.At eibabo® you will find the right digital distributor time switch for installation in the electrical distribution board. We carry a large selection of Astro timers, weekly timers and yearly timers. Manufacturers of high-quality devices include Hager, Finder, ABL Sursum, Theben, ABB, Stotz S&J, Legrand (BT), Grässlin, Eltako and Schneider Electric. In the following text we will go into the individual variants in more detail.What are distribution timers?A time switch for the junction box is an electronic or mechanical device that switches electrical consumers on a time-controlled basis. These can be switched on and off without having to flip the switch yourself. This can be useful in private households as well as in commercial companies and in the industrial sector. The purposes of the distributor time switches include, among other things, the automatic switching on and off of lighting systems or the control of fixed house installations such as heating, ventilation, lawn sprinklers and air conditioning units. This not only saves you time, but also money.NoticeDistribution time switches are often offered in grid dimensions (pitch units). Depending on the equipment, such a device requires one to four modular widths in the control cabinet.The advantages of a timer are therefore obvious: electricity costs can be reduced effectively through the targeted control of your electrical devices. At the same time, you have the option of making your home less attractive to burglars, for example by simulating your presence using optionally available random functions.You can also get digital or analogue timers for the socket in another catalog from the eibabo® shop. Their function is comparable to that of the distributor time switches. However, the area of application extends to 'mobile' devices that are not permanently installed. These include Christmas lights, aquarium technology or decorative items such as fountains.What functions do distribution timers offer?A high-quality distributor time switch offers numerous functions and programs for the individual setting of the switching cycles. These include:60 min program / 24 h programWeekly program / annual programAutomatic summer/winter time changeoverholiday programimpulse programcycle programastro programrandom programPermanent switching ON/OFFexpiration timerhour meter Image: Theben TR 644 top2 RC distribution time switchWhat is the difference between each type of timer?We often come across terms such as astro timers, weekly timers or yearly timers. With regard to a purchase decision, the question then arises as to whether there are significant differences between these models. The basic function is the same for all models. The differences lie in the detail and the setting options of the individual variants. The astro function of a timer adjusts the switching times daily to the seasonally changing length of the day. In other words: When the days get longer in spring, the device switches on a little later every evening and a little earlier every morning. This process is calculated electronically and does not require a brightness sensor, for example, which would otherwise have to give the command to switch the light on or off. With a weekly timer, you can set individual switching times for each day of the week. In contrast, the function of a very simple time switch is limited to setting switching cycles within 24 hours.Already knew?Modern timers have a powerful power reserve. In the event of a power failure, this ensures the function of the timer for up to 10 more years.The annual time switch offers even more extensive functions. This means that different switching times can be provided for each calendar day and vacations and public holidays can be taken into account.Do distribution timers require a separate power supply?Digital timers always require energy to operate. As a rule, a distribution time switch is clamped onto the DIN rail of the control cabinet and supplied with mains voltage via an integrated power pack. Time switches that are exclusively battery operated are rare. These are typically analogue variants, which are used, for example, as 'door openers' in stables when there is no electricity.Is a digital timer always better than an analogue model?An analog timer works mechanically, a digital timer works electronically. Whether one or the other variant is more suitable for you depends on your requirements for the device. Mechanical timers usually have a higher-level switch with which you can switch the device off completely, switch it on permanently or switch it to switching mode. Switch buttons arranged in a circle represent the daily routine. There are usually 48 buttons and each button stands for half an hour. Activate or deactivate the corresponding switching period by pressing or pulling out. Compared to analog timers, digital timers offer significantly more setting options and functions. In contrast to mechanical timers, you can usually set several switching programs down to the minute over days or weeks. The distribution timer is operated using buttons and a display. TIP:If you want to control more than one device with the distribution timer, choose a model with the appropriate number of channels. This saves a lot of space in the control cabinet. Times and switching programs are clearly shown on the display. In terms of accuracy and functionality, a digital time switch is clearly superior to the analogue version. However, it requires a certain learning phase to understand the technology and set switching programs. If you only need 'rough' and daily recurring switching processes, analogue time switches are still a good alternative. These are set up and ready to use in just a few seconds.Can distributor time switches be programmed using an app or externally?There are distributor time switches that have Bluetooth and can be configured using an app. This allows you to display and change the switching states via smartphone or tablet computer. The prerequisite is the coupling between the input devices and timers within a network. Another way of programming the switching times is to use manufacturer-specific software. You can transfer the switching information to a special memory card via the USB interface of your computer. The memory card can then be connected to the time switch on the construction site/in the switch cabinet and the switching data can be loaded into the switch and vice versa.Doesn't a distribution timer consume more electricity than it saves?If the focus is on switching a consumer (e.g. the lighting) on and off, a distribution time switch is of course useful. As a rule, active end devices consume significantly more power than a timer. The question asked above relates to switching off a device that would otherwise run in standby mode for hours.To answer this question, a distinction must be made between an analogue and a digital time switch. An analogue model is less complex and usually has an output of less than 1 watt. With an electricity price of 40 cents per kilowatt hour, for example, the consumption costs are around 1 cent per day with 24 hours. With a digital timer, you have to assume around 2 watts and thus calculate electricity costs of 2 cents per day. In this calculation example, the investment costs for one or more time switches should also be taken into account.You can now compare this with the standby power consumption of your devices. This essentially depends on the type, age and number of devices. Old devices with displays consume more power in standby than modern electronics with only one control LED. A mix of new and old devices in the household currently results in an average consumption of 1 to 2 watts per device. If you need a separate timer for each electrical device, using them to save standby power is therefore not economical. The situation is somewhat different with distribution time switches, which can switch several devices or machines with a high standby current at the same time. This may save you on standby electricity costs, although this is not the primary reason for using a timer in these cases either. TIP:Pay attention to the shortest switching time of the device if you want to switch short intervals. Some devices only switch every minute and only a few devices switch every second or even faster. An example: If you have a terrarium with a sprinkler system, the nozzles should usually only spray for a few seconds. This is to maintain high humidity. Prolonged spraying may flood facility and animals.

Installation relay - What is a relay and how does it work? What types of relays are there? Where are relays used? And which relay suits your project best? Here you can learn more about switching and controlling electrical circuits. Installation relays are used in many different applications. You will find relays in domestic electrical installations, in electrical appliances, in commerce and industry, and in vehicles.A look into historyThe first relay was invented by the American J. Henry in 1831 and was based on the electromagnetic principle of operation. Henry used the relay in his university lab as a 'gimmick' to entertain his students. However, it was not yet possible to switch gears. The first switching relay was invented by Samuel Morse in 1837. Morse refined Henry's device and adapted it to transmit signals (the Morse code) down miles of wire. This was also the basis for the telegraph.Did you know that the world's first computer was also built with only relays? It was a development by Konrad Zuse, which was presented in 1941. A lot has happened since then and relays are no longer used in modern computers. Nevertheless, the relay is still an important and popular component in electrical installations today. Think, for example, of switching on and off the lighting in the stairwell. The circuit works regardless of which floor you are on. However, there are numerous other areas of application. That is why different installation relays are also available in the eibabo® shop. Simply browse through our virtual catalogue. You will surely find some high-quality and inexpensive installation relays that arouse your interest.Image: Eltako ER12-110-UC switching relayWhat are relays?Relays are components within electrical installations of all kinds. They are mainly used as circuit breakers and control switches in electrical devices or are used as important components in many control processes. There are numerous types of relays, which differ in detail. The manufacturers develop the devices for special tasks and adjust the triggering characteristics accordingly. Relays that are often bought in this catalog are coupling relays, power relays, switching relays, interface relays, semiconductor relays and many more. The basic operating principle of a relay is to open and close circuits or contacts by reacting to electrical quantities such as current or voltage.How are relays differentiated?Relays are classified according to various criteria. These include:the type of physical inputs to which the relay respondsthe area of application that the relay assumes in control systemsthe structure of the device design and the principle of operationthe switching capacitythe shape and sizeand some others A relay consists of three main elements:entering / entering a valuethe intermediateof execution / actuation by actuator If we look at the type of physical input variable, we distinguish between electrical, thermal, optical, mechanical, magnetic or acoustic relays. NoticeNot all relays work with fixed physical quantities. Differential relays, for example, react to the difference in values. Polarized relays respond to a change in sign of a specific value. The acquisition of the measurand is the primary element of the relay. This converts the input value into another physical quantity. The receiving element can have different designs depending on the purpose of the relay and the nature of the physical quantity. In the case of a latching relay or a voltage relay, the receiving element consists of an electromagnet. In the case of a pressure relay, this can be a membrane or bellows. The sensing element of a level relay is usually a float and so on.The intermediate element compares the input value with the specified limit value of the device and, if it is exceeded, transmits an impulse to the executing actuator.The actuator transmits the pulse from the relay to the working circuits. Each relay basically contains a control circuit and one or more operating circuits. Depending on the type of actuator, the relays are divided into contact relays and contactless relays. Contact relays act on the outgoing circuit with the help of electrical contacts. Their closed or open state allows either full closure or full mechanical break of the work circuit. Contactless relays act on the working circuit by a sudden change in parameters in the control circuit. This is achieved via resistance, capacitance, inductance or a change in voltage level or current level.How does an installation relay work?Depending on the requirement and application, relays are simple or complex. However, the basic functional principle does not differ significantly. In the center is the coil with an iron core. When current flows through the coil, an electric magnetic field builds up. A movable, ferromagnetic armature reacts to this magnetic field and is attracted. This change in position connects two contact springs with each other and the so-called working contacts in the relay close. In this case, the relay acts as a closer. In some designs, so-called break contacts are opened when the magnetic field is created. These are called openers. Combinations of openers and closers are also possible. These are changeover contacts or changeover contacts.Already knew?If the coil of a relay is suddenly de-energized, high voltage peaks can occur. Therefore, depending on the model, resistors or diodes are used to prevent these voltage peaks from flowing back into the control circuit. Sensitive components remain protected.As soon as the coil no longer generates a magnetic field, the armature is returned to its original position by spring force. The make contacts are no longer closed and the break contacts are no longer open.What are Solid State Relays?More and more relay functions are currently being taken over by semiconductor circuits, so-called solid-state relays (SSR). A solid state relay is an electronic device that turns on and off a high power circuit with low voltages. There are no mechanically moving elements in this type of relay. The device consists of:a sensor that responds to an input signala solid-state electronics with high-performance circuitry Solid state relays can be used with both direct current and alternating current. With the help of thyristors and transistors it is possible to switch currents of several hundred amperes. Compared to electromechanical relays, semiconductor relays have a significantly higher switching speed. Solid-state relays are less suitable for switching under short-term overload conditions. Compared to electromechanical relays, solid state relays offer the following advantages:smaller dimensionshigh switching speedsnoiselesspowerfulmore energy efficientspark-free circuitmaintenance freelong lifetimelow sensitivity to adverse conditions What should I look out for when buying an installation relay?In the eibabo® shop there is a huge selection of different relays with numerous specifications. Choosing the right installation relay can be difficult. Before you buy, you should determine the function of your circuit and then define the task of the relay. Then select a suitable relay for your project. Decision criteria include:What kind is the physical input quantity?Will the device be subjected to vibration and shock?Where will the installation take place?Are dust, moisture or temperature fluctuations to be expected?What is the switching voltage and the switching current?Which current magnitudes and voltage magnitudes occur?What is the expected switching frequency?What requirements do I place on the durability of the relay?Are special functions or additional programming required? Notice:When switching active and inductive loads, opening the circuit for the contacts is the most difficult. In this case, arcing occurs, which puts a lot of strain on the contacts. The switching relays offered by eibabo® are high quality, inexpensive, versatile, reliable and universally applicable. The best-known manufacturers in our range are ABB, Doepke, Dold, Eaton, Eberle, Eltako, Finder, Hager, Jung, Schalk, Schneider Electric, Siemens and WAGO.

Light control unit - In this eibabo category you will find light control units of various automation systems (radio, LCN, KNX). The most common light control units in this catalog are for the KNX bus system. The light control units in KNX are usually dimming actuators for electronic ballasts that means for connecting devices with 1-10 V interface to the KNX bus system. Some explanation: A ballast unit is required for operating a gas discharge lamp, such as a fluorescent lamp (fluorescent tube). Electronic ballasts (ECG) operate at a high frequency ( eibabo catalogue Smart Home Interface-media gateway in eibabo catalog Smart Home. The advantage compared with the 1-10 V type is that addressing is possible and wiring by groups is not necessary. Further advantages are a direct response, status messages, scene memory and a variety of dimming options with DALI ballast. In this eibabo category you will find, for example, KNX dimming actuators for electronic control gear (ECG) with 1-10V interface, wireless controllers for electronic ballasts, controllers master / slave, KNX switching / dimming actuators, KNX control actuators, sensor modules, KNX control units, KNX dimming signal converters, switching and dimming modules, KNX light controls, KNX control actuators, KNX light controller modules, KNX controller CHROMOFLEX of brands ABB, Busch-Jäger, Eaton, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Lingg & Janke, Merten, MDT, Siemens and Theben for various automation systems.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Light control unit for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorBrightness controlBuilding controlBuilding system technologyBus systemBus system lighting control unitBus technologyControl unitControllersDimmerDimming actuatorEIBExpansion moduleFieldbus actuatorFunction moduleLight controlLight control unit for bus systemLight controllerModuleNetworkingNikobusOutput modulePower dimmerRadio control unitSwitch dimming actuatorSwitch moduleSwitching actuatorWireless socket adapterfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Light control unit:ABBBarthelmeBusch JaegerGiraIssendorffJungMDTMertenRopagSchneider ElectricSiemensThebenZumtobel

Manual wall transmitter - Manufacturers of radio bus systems for home automation systems use different radio standards (EnOcean, Z-Wave, ZigBee, Bluetooth Smart, Bluetooth, WLAN). Leading manufacturers are Eaton Eltako and Thermokon. This catalog offers wireless handheld wall transmitters for different automation systems made by different manufacturers. Radio bus systems are an alternative to building automation systems such as KNX, LON or LCN. Radio bus systems are much cheaper and the range of applications and devices differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, one should not use proprietary radio bus systems, but a radio bus system where devices of different manufacturers are compatible, such as with the KNX. However, in radio bus applications, the scope of options is always increasing in order to meet the smart home requirements. Radio bus systems can be connected to building automation systems, for example to KNX. Thus, mixed applications are possible, for example if installations with cables and wires are not possible (glass constructions, wood surfaces, open spaces). Compared to building automation systems, it is easier to put wireless home automation systems into operation and they are cheaper, but they are also less flexible when it comes to complex functionalities and future extensions. eibabo provides battery-free wireless wall transmitters, wireless remote controls, wireless handheld transmitters, handheld KNX radio transmitters, KNX radio wall transmitters, wireless outdoor transmitter module, wireless handheld multi transmitters , KNX RF transmitters, KNX wall transmitter modules, wireless wall transmitter inserts or wireless universal transmitter radio bus from leading radio bus manufacturers such as Berker, Busch Jaeger, Eaton, Elso, Eltako, eQ-3, Gira, Hager, JUNG, Peha, Schalk, Siemens and Thermokon.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Hand-/wall sensor for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bus system handheld/wall transmitterBus system wall transmitterBus technologyDouble asterEnd stripsHand-/wall sensor for bus systemInstallation switchManual transmitterMoellerfunkPosition buttonQuad buttonRadio button interfaceRadio remote controlRadio systemRadio transmitterRadio wall transmitter insertRemote controlSingle buttonSolar cellSurface-mounted buttonTransmitter insertTransmitter useTransponderWall transmitterWall transmitter completeWall transmitter insertWall-mounted transmitter completeWall-mounted transmitter insertfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Manual wall transmitter:BerkerBusch JaegerEatonElsoeQ-3GiraHagerJungPehaSchalkSiemens

Energy management - This catalogue offers articles used for energy measurement or energy optimization in various bus systems, for example for radio bus system applications or the KNX bus system. KNX energy meters can be used for utility cost billing or cost monitoring, for cost center billing, energy optimization, visualization or installation monitoring. These KNX meters do not only capture and display consumption values, they also display other functions. They can be used to identify high consumption devices, to switch off specific channels if thresholds are exceeded or just to display the daily energy costs, voltage, current and power data. KNX visualization can generate a variety of display formats depending on time or load profile, can store your energy provider?s current prices and display accrued costs and compare them. For billing purposes, the meter should absolutely be calibrated and have MID approval. MID means Measuring Instruments Directive. The MID is a EU directive covering measuring instruments. Even in case of bus failure, the meters should continue to collect and store data. All KNX meters can be ordered as calibrated or uncalibrated type and with / without MID certificate. In Germany, for example, electricity meters used commercially must be calibrated. Therefore, check whether the meter intended for commercial application can be used in your country. After expiration of the calibration period (8 years for electronic meters, 12 years for mechanical transducer meters with induction system or 16 years for mechanical meters with induction system), the meter has to be replaced or the calibration period extended. Carefully study the features and parameters of the meters provided by different manufacturers to find the most suitable meter. There are different types of KNX meters, for example, direct meters or transformer meters for very high currents. In single-family houses or apartment buildings KNX direct meters are generally used. These are usually available up to 100A. In this eibabo category you will find, for example, radio single-phase meters, KNX energy meters, interface modules, energy measurement sensors, KNX power modules, KNX sensors, KNX meter interfaces, wireless energy sensors, KNX peak load limiters, bus electricity meters of the brands ABB, Busch-Jäger , Eaton, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Lingg & Janke, Merten and Siemens for various automation systems.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Energy management for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:5-level maximum guardBus systemBus system energy managementConsumption meterDIN rail counterDirect/ConverterDirect/transformerEIBElectricity meterEnergy counterEnergy efficientEnergy management for bus systemEnergy measurementEnergy meterEnergy visualizationInput moduleMaximum demand monitor for distribution boardMaximum guardMaximum GuardianMaximum monitorMaximum monitoringMeter scannerMoellerfunkPeak load monitoringSwitching actuatorThree-phase meterTransducer measurementTransmitter modulefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Energy management:ABBEatonEltakoGiraHagerJungKOSTAL SolarElectricLingg & JankeMertenSchneider Electric

Timer - A conventional time switch usually switches an electrical relay contact at set times. This is used to realize specific control and automation functions. However, in this eibabo catalog you will find special timers for various automation bus systems, such as radio bus or KNX bus system. KNX time switches, generally, do not dispose of direct switching contacts, but provide the status in digital form as telegrams on the respective bus system or by radio. Depending on the manufacturer, the KNX time switches have diversified but also different characteristics. Most KNX switches feature a day program, week program and year program. Some KNX timers offer a connection option for a DCF or GPS antenna. An automatic summer / winter changeover as well as astro programs. A definition of the geographical location of the building extends the range of options. Switching functions with output of dimming values, switching ON / OFF or UP / DOWN for blinds or shutters, heating control for comfort / standby or night mode, scene release as well as master / slave function are other possible options of KNX time switches. Updating the date and time at KNX displays or other KNX devices in the system by sending the information to the bus are further advantages. Some manufacturers also offer holiday databases, countdown timers and operating hour counters, as well as random programs for simple presence simulations in case of absence to deter potential burglars. A standby in case of power failure is also often standard. What is different is the way to get started. Some manufacturers offer the possibility of direct commissioning of times at the display, programming keys or a separate add-on software or programming solely via the ETS. One should also consider whether another KNX device, which already contains timer programs, is planned in the system, for example KNX weather stations with astro function and GPS / DCF, KNX visualizations (KNX server) KNX displays or complex KNX control and display panels. eibabo provides KNX time switches, KNX time transmitters, wireless timers, KNX year timers, KNX radio switches, KNX week timers, KNX radio blind switches, KNX synchronization timers, digital time switches as well as KNX UP timers of all leading manufacturers, such as ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eltako, Hager, Issendorf, Jung,Legrand, MDT, Merten, Peha, Siemens, Theben or Warema.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Time switch for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Application moduleAstro timerBus systemBus system timerColor displayDistribution timerEIBEnergy efficientLight controlLighting controlMounting rail timerNikobusProgram clockProject clockRadio timerTime switchTime switch for bus systemTimerTimer clockTimer moduleTimersWeek clockWeekly timerYear time switchYear timerfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Timer:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEltakoHagerMDTMertenSomfyTheben
