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.

Dimming actuator - The technical requirements for the use of dimming actuators are very extensive. Why do I need a dimming actuator and which dimming actuator is the right one for me? In this eibabo catalog you will find many dimming actuators from different manufacturers, for example from the top brands ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, EVN, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben various automation systems or conventional applications.How do I plan the lighting correctly?You should not start with the control technology first, because this follows at the very end of the lighting planning. First you should plan the lighting according to necessity, appearance, ambience and your own wishes, followed by the functional requirements and then find the right lights.Save by planning!The more precise, the cheaper the execution of the installations. The more complex the functional requirements are, the more important it is to plan and research a suitable SmartHome system.Only then is the functional implementation carried out, which consists of many other topics.What should I know beforehand?Which lights do I want to install?Do I want to use a conventional installation or a bus system?Should the SmartHome be wired or radio (KNX, DALI, or Zigbee radio protocols such as Hue)?Which lights are switched and/or dimmed together and how?Should it be controlled via app or voice assistant?and much more... ... this results in the following findings, for example:Which cables and lines are required?Which control components (e.g. dimming actuators) have to be considered?To what extent do the operating resources have to be secured?How much space must be provided in the electrical distribution?Do I have to consider special flush-mounted sockets for lights?and much more... What do I have to consider before buying a dimming actuator?Before you buy a KNX dimming actuator, the load types of the equipment and their performance should be checked carefully. There are basically 3 types of KNX dimming actuators. There are dimming actuators with the control type leading edge, trailing edge or universal dimming actuators that recognize the connected load type and automatically activate the correct type of control. TIP:Install a few more lights in the room and use a dimming actuator to create a pleasant lighting ambience. KNX dimming actuators are available for installation in the electrical distribution system, then they have the suffix 'REG' for modular installation devices or as a concealed version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as an installation version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. 230V halogen lamps or incandescent lamps, for example, can be operated with both types of control.What is the difference between leading edge dimming and trailing edge dimming?Very simply explained; 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with a conventional iron-core transformer requires phase control dimming, although these transformers are hardly ever used. 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with an electronic transformer requires trailing edge dimming.The type of dimming of the dimming actuator can be recognized by the abbreviation 'RL' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230 volt halogen lamps and the abbreviation 'RC' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230V high-voltage halogen lamps, 12V low-voltage halogen lamps, dimmable LEDs and dimmable ones energy-saving lamps. It is also possible that both abbreviations 'RC' and 'RL' can be found printed on the dimming actuator. Often you will also find this imprint: 'R, L, C'. It designates which equipment the dimming actuator can work with (dimmer, transformer, LED). If you find all 3 letters or the abbreviations 'RL' and 'RC', then it is usually a universal dimming actuator.Image: KNX LED universal dimming actuator - Jung 390041SRIn this case, however, the limit values of the power ranges for each type of dimming with connected equipment must be observed. Dimming actuators often have minimum loads, which may not be suitable for the use of LEDs. Trailing edge dimming 'RC' (trailing edge control) is the most common application. Basically, the lamp and the dimmer must be marked as 'dimmable' and fit together. TIP:For LEDs, we always recommend LED dimmers or LED controllers, which have also been developed for exactly this application. If in doubt, you can also contact the manufacturer of the dimming actuator directly if you send a data sheet for the equipment (lamps and, if applicable, ballasts).Can I dim a fluorescent lamp? Are energy-saving lamps dimmable?Yes, fluorescent lamps and energy-saving lamps can also be dimmed, provided the lamp is suitable and marked as 'dimmable' or, in the case of fluorescent lamps, there is a dimmable electronic ballast (EVG) for 1-10V or the DALI standard. You can find KNX dimming actuators for electronic ballasts with a 1-10V interface under Smart Home > Light control unit. Another standard for electronic ballasts is DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). The advantage over the 1-10V variant is that addressing is possible and there is no wiring according to groups. Further advantages are direct addressing, status messages, scene memory and a wide range of dimming options with the DALI ECG.How do I find out if my lamp / luminaire is dimmable?Basically, the light source used should first be checked to see whether it is dimmable. You can find this marking in the item description or on the packaging. Lamps that have already been planned and fitted with light sources must be checked for dimmability and the type of control with the control gear used.How do I determine the power for my dimming actuator?It must be clear which light groups are to be switched and dimmed together and how high the total output (W/VA) of the group is in order to select the appropriate KNX dimming actuator with regard to the required maximum output, the minimum load and the number of channels as well as the type of control Find. eibabo always recommends a thorough analysis of the application prior to purchase. Lamps and illuminants must be technically analyzed and checked against the technical data of the dimming actuator. In addition, there are countless different parameter properties of KNX dimming actuators between the manufacturers.Why can't I dim my LED light?All dimming actuators meet the standard requirements for dimming. In addition, many manufacturers offer additional interesting parameters. These parameters may be functionally important for your project. The marking KNX universal dimming actuator does not automatically mean that these dimming actuators are also suitable for dimming the LEDs you use.

Rocker switch - A rocker switch is the control panel of a special button that can be used to trigger a specific action using a rocker mechanism. After actuation, the rocker returns to its starting position. You can use rocker switches to manually control electrical components in your smart home installation. For example, you can switch your wall lights on or off, gradually set a dimmer brighter or darker by pressing the rocker switch, or raise and lower blinds. Their areas of application are of course even more extensive. Here in the eibabo technology store we offer you rocker switches, rocker switch sets and cover plates from switch programs from different manufacturers. Rocker switches are also available for operating machines and other industrial equipment. These are then designed according to their intended area of application, are robust and can meet additional requirements such as protection class IP67, i.e. reliable protection against dust and water.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Touch rocker for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Building controlBus system rocker switchButtonButton coverCentral diskEIB rocker switchEIB touch rockerHome controlKNX rocker switchKNX touch rockerLabel fieldLatchLettering serviceLight controlMemory functionNetworkingNikobusOperating top unitPush buttonRockerRocker switchSeesawTactile sensorTouch rocker for bus systemUnlockerfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Rocker switch:BerkerBusch JaegerEltakoGiraHagerMerten

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.

Distributor-timer - analog - A distribution time switch is a device with which you can control a device connected to it individually in terms of time. It mounts on the DIN rail inside your junction box. In the eibabo shop you have the choice between analog or digital time switches. The analog versions are very easy to use. Most of them have a time slice divided into segments that represent a total cycle of 24 hours. By activating certain segments you activate or deactivate the switching process for the corresponding time. The number of segments may vary depending on the model. The higher the number of segments, the more precisely the switching time can be set. There are also analogue distributor time switches with a slightly different structure or models in which several switching cycles can be programmed at the same time.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Devices for distribution board-/surface mounting > Analogous time switch for distribution board you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Analog distributor timerAnalog time switch for DIN railAnalog time switch for front panel installationAnalogous time switch for distribution boardAnalogue timerBuilt-in time switchBuilt-in timerDaily timerDefrost timerDistribution timerDual channel timerEnergy efficientFront panel timerHourly timerLighting controlMain clockPower reserveProgram clockShort-time timerSingle channel timerTimerTimer clockTimersTwilight switchWall mounted timerWeek clockWeekly timerYear clockfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Distributor-timer - analog:ABBDoepkeEatonFinderHagerLegrand BticinoMüller HugoSchneider ElectricSiemensTheben

Led control - A simple, glowing LED no longer surprises anyone. But adding features and intelligence is already more interesting. Are you also interested in using the full potential of your LED lighting? Then this catalog from the eibabo® shop is just right for you. We offer you dimmers, controllers and other options for individual control.Perhaps you want your installations to fulfill many tasks at once and to anticipate your wishes and needs through intelligent planning. This means that lighting changes color or intensity depending on the time of day or the weather, for example. Or that personal presence has an influence on the LED lighting. There are many control options. We offer you the equipment you need for this.What is an LED controller?Modern lighting offers a wide range of possibilities. The main task is certainly to improve visibility in space. But light also increases comfort and helps regulate human biorhythms. In the commercial environment, targeted lighting supports purchasing behavior and thus increases sales. These possibilities have become more versatile and, above all, cheaper due to the development and spread of LED technology. LEDs save a lot of energy compared to conventional light sources, are more compact and can be used much more flexibly. The use of high-quality control systems for LEDs raises your lighting to a completely different level. This allows you to design your installations as efficiently as possible while taking your individual needs into account. Regulate the brightness of individual lamps, control the lighting level according to a schedule or other parameters, or program scenarios using a PC or smartphone.NoticeAdditional components from the field of building automation are required for the implementation of programmable comfort solutions. Sensors and actuators are available in our 'Smart Home' main catalogue.In this catalog you will find LED controls that you can tailor to your lighting concept. Our range includes, among other things:LED transformers and power suppliesLED converter and driverDimmer for 12V and 24V, cable dimmer, wireless dimmerInline controller and touch controller, RGB controllerfully-fledged DMX controls and LED controls for bus systems such as KNX or DALIremote controls An LED control ensures the power supply and voltage supply, receives the switching commands or dimming information and controls the respective LEDs.Image: EVN PLK673540 LED power supplyWhat should I look out for with LED power supplies?A power supply is a voltage source that converts the mains voltage (230 V in Europe) into 12 V, 24 V or another required operating voltage. To supply voltage to LED strips and LED modules, switching power supplies are most often used in conjunction with resistors as current limiters. Already knew?Unlike power supplies, LED drivers act as current sources without current limiters. For example, to choose a power supply for an LED strip, you should pay attention to the following factors:Operating voltage of the LED stripTotal power of the LED stripIP rating (the need to protect the power supply case from water and dust)Dimensions of the power supply The operating voltage of an LED strip can be 12V, 24V and sometimes 36V. The output voltage of the power pack must correspond to this value. There are also power supplies where you can continuously adjust the output voltage. This may be necessary if you have to compensate for voltage drops due to long lines. The total output of the LED strip results from its wattage, which is usually specified per meter. When calculating the wattage of the power supply, multiply the wattage by the length of the strip and then add approximately 25% safety margin. This prevents a power supply from constantly running at the limit. When selecting the IP protection class, consider the installation location. In the control cabinet or other normally dry rooms, IP20 is usually sufficient. Use in damp rooms and outside of buildings requires a higher degree of protection. The size of the power supply becomes interesting if you want to install it in the control cabinet. Space is often limited here.How do LED power supplies differ from LED drivers?To understand the difference between LED power supplies and LED drivers, you need to understand the importance of current and voltage within an electrical circuit. You should also know that LEDs are fundamentally:be operated with direct currentneed constant voltagecannot independently limit the flowing currentbecome more conductive the more they heat up Most electrical devices and electronic components require a power source to operate. An LED power supply provides this voltage, for example 12 V. This means: If LED lighting is designed for operation with 12 V, its actual power consumption is irrelevant. So the power supply only stabilizes the voltage. The driver, on the other hand, is a power source for LED lamps. This regulates the current, but not the voltage. A driver stabilizes the current flow and never exceeds its optimal current level - no matter how many LEDs are connected.In short: the driver is a current source, the power supply is a voltage source.Depending on the design and the supply voltage supplied, the LEDs have different resistances, which limit the current flow. Crystals are responsible for these resistances in LED strips, for example. By using an LED power supply you get a stable voltage. This will prevent the crystals from overheating and burning out. If you increase the voltage above normal, the resistance can drop sharply. This causes the crystals to overheat. Conductivity increases and power consumption increases. This will likely cause the LEDs to fail.The advantage of the driver over power supplies is that it provides the crystals with constant power without resistance. Accordingly, the LEDs shine much brighter than when using a power supply unit with the same power. In addition, the driver increases the lifespan of the LEDs because it never exceeds the optimum (and critical for the crystals) current. It is important to note that there are drivers:which can be used for any number of LEDs as long as their total power is lower than the power of the driver itselfwhich are only designed for a certain number of LEDs But a driver also has disadvantages. Using a higher number of LEDs is problematic. Depending on the driver parameters, only a certain (or maximum) number of LEDs can be connected to it. In addition, drivers for certain LEDs usually cannot be used anywhere else.A driver is always the best solution if you:set up LED lighting without resistors (e.g. without LED strips).plan stable operation of all connected LEDs without ever turning off some of them individually You should prefer a power supply unit if you:Insert LEDs with resistorsswitch off part of your lighting on a regular basis, thereby changing the required voltage and current How do I choose LED dimmers?You can use both leading edge dimming (RC) and trailing edge dimming (RL) to dim LEDs. Alternatively, you can use dimmers with pulse width modulation. This is the most commonly used variant for dimming LEDs. With pulse width modulation, the current flow is periodically interrupted for a specific interval. As a result, the longer the OFF interval, the less bright the LED will shine. Dimming LEDsWhether an LED lamp is dimmable is stated on its packaging or in the product description. If you cannot find any information, the LED cannot be dimmed. Before you decide on an LED dimmer, you should be sure about the type of lamps used. For 220V LED lamps it is better to choose trailing edge dimmers. For 12 V LED lamps, we recommend choosing a controller with pulse width modulation.What is DMX control?DMX is a special software protocol that allows you to create complex lighting scenarios, adjust various light parameters and create original special effects. A standard DMX controller is a device that you use to control and regulate these lighting parameters.Term DMXDMX stands for Digital Multiplex and is a digital standard for controlling stage technology, lighting technology and event technology such as dimmers, spotlights, moving head spots and other devices for lighting effects.DMX is a system with which you can 'merge' all the lighting fixtures in a room into one. This protocol allows you, as the user of the controller, to work with numerous control channels at the same time. Each individual channel is responsible for a specific parameter of a specific lighting object. This means that several channels can be concentrated in one device at the same time. By combining parameters you create the most complex light variations. The scenarios are parameterized directly on the computer via a conventional USB interface. Special software is required for this.
